Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born and raised in the New Orleans area and am married to my childhood sweetheart. By day, I’m a clerk of court administrator, by night author and historian. I’ve written four novels: But for the Grace of God, Fame and Misfortune, and books 1 and 2 of a Mardi Gras romance series, The Captain and the Queen and The Captain of Her Heart. Additionally, I’ve written several books and short essays regarding local history.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My most recent book was The Captain of Her Heart, a continuation of my Mardi Gras-themed romance. My involvement in a Mardi Gras organization (krewe) inspired me to begin the series.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I do remarkably well on airplanes and casino coffee shops.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve primarily read biographies and non-fiction historical works and have not been particularly influenced by other novelists.
What are you working on now?
Forever Her Captain, the third and final installment in my Mardi Gras-themed romance trilogy, as well as conducting some research for several non-fiction papers on local history.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook is still a preferred method, and Pinterest.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write as often and as much as you can. Don’t stop if you don’t have to. You’ll only improve with more and more practice.
What are you reading now?
I’m not currently reading since I’m trying to complete my novel.
What’s next for you as a writer?
After the Mardi Gras-themed trilogy, I’d like to produce on a couple of ideas I have for doomsday-type stories, one involving hurricane forecasting advancements and another concerning the destruction of our technology infrastructure.
