Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I love everything romance. I have written No Chance for Love, which is romance short story #1 in the Roanoke True Love series. If you are looking for a longer romance book, try our More Than We Bargained For. Each of my romances sort of give tribute to my own love affair with my husband. Sometimes love is slow, and sometimes it comes swiftly like a tornado. You just have to enjoy the ride.
I also wrote Infertility Stinks! A 31 Day Devotional that dives into the heartache and turmoil surrounded around infertility. If you struggle with getting pregnant, this devotional is for you! It is raw, up close and personal of my own infertility journey.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
That is a tough question. Infertility Stinks! A 31 Day Devotional is my heart stripped out for all to see. It is a deeply invoking, devastating, hope filled and encouraging all wrapped into one. I share my journey and give incite on how I keep the faith through it.
As far as romance, it has to be my first short story in the Roanoke True Love! Series. This wraps up my heritage and my true love into one. Roanoke is the city my beloved grandparents lived throughout my childhood. There are so many places that I will showcase in each short story. Truly, Roanoke is one of my favorite places.
As to quickie romances, my true love and I found each other years later. We went to school together, and move off into the real world. Eight years later, I opened a door … and there he was. Let me just say it was true love the second my eyes settled on him. So I did what any rational woman would do … I chased after him. And chase I did. Just a few months later I moved to Florida to get married. True love can come fast and swift. You just have to grab it when it comes. As you can see, quick romance I know well and wanted to capture in Roanoke True Love!
