Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written, “The Purple Rabbit”, “The Lost Key”, “Mariah and the Enchanted Forest”, “The Lady In White”, and “The Lady In White Who”.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is “The Lady In White Who”. After I wrote “The Lady In White”, I had many readers that told me about their Marceline, Missouri Ghost Stories. I just couldn’t let the story end the way it did, so I wrote “The Lady In White Who” to follow it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I seem to get ideas for my stories just before I fall asleep. So I keep a pen and paper close to my bed.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I like anything mysterious and mystical. I can’t say any of the books I read influence me much, but my favorite book series is Eragon.
What are you working on now?
I don’t have anything currently I am working on, but I am sure I will soon!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word of mouth and social media.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep writing. If it makes you happy, you will have to write.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do what makes you happy.
What are you reading now?
I started reading the Lord of the Rings series again.
What’s next for you as a writer?

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?
Hands down, as many books from Christopher Paolini that I am allowed.
