Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I love writing romantic suspense novels set in the US, the Caribbean, and Europe. I’ve travelled to almost all the places I write about, including the Caribbean, Europe, and Latin America. I’ve written and self published a half dozen books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book ins “Stowaway on the Island,” inspired by sailing on the Caribbean.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
It’s not a habit, but perhaps unusual: I’ve discovered that my characters talk to me quite a bit, gifting me with great dialogue that I simply write down. They all love their work, but sometimes balk at plot twists. We think about it for a day or so, and always agree on a compromise. By the end of a book, I know my characters much better than many people I meet.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I like Dick Francis, Roald Dahl, and especially John Grisham.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on my next series of three romantic suspense novels set in the Caribbean, with romance, danger, and a touch of magic, starring the protagonist in my book, “The Jumbee’s Daughter.”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use the advertising on Amazon KDP.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write down those thoughts that zing into your head when you are away from actually writing. They only come once.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Tension always.
What are you reading now?
“My Uncle Oswald,” by Roald Dahl.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Being immersed in my next series. My characters are already talking and I’m writing it down.
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?
Books that are fun to read and have a happy ending.
