Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I write all sorts of things including short stories, easy readers, teen novels, and romantic comedies! I have one book out – My Very Own Hitman – and an east reader series coming out next month! I have a bachelor’s degree in English from Brigham Young University and a master’s degree in library and information science from Valdosta State University. I quit my job to write full-time (and play with my cat) and am loving every minute of it! For fun, I likes to listen to audio books while decorating gluten-free cakes, making tissue paper flowers, and pretending I am a mermaid.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My debut novel is My Very Own Hitman, a romantic comedy. I watch a lot of Hallmark Christmas movies with my sisters during the holidays, and a lot of action adventure movies with my mom year round. I thought it would be funny to combine the two! What if the unlikely couple were thrown together because one of them is a hitman and has to take the girl out? What if they had to pretend they were dating? I devised a scenario to make it work, and voila! It is pretty hilarious if I do say so myself. 😉
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My favorite authors are Shannon Hale, Gail Carson Levine, Brandon Sanderson, and Maggie Stiefvater. Shannon Hale’s romantic comedies are hilarious!
What are you working on now?
I have several books in the works, so we’ll see what gets done first. I’m working on a teen ghost story, some more easy readers (mermaids this time!), and have a superhero book simmering in the back of my mind.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write. Just sit your butt in the chair and type. Everyday. It can be hard, but that’s how you get to be a writer. Just write.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t die.
What are you reading now?
Mistborn book three by Brandon Sanderson – great series if you like fantasy!
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Harry Potter. As many as they would let me take!
