Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in Arizona with my husband and baby. When I’m not writing for myself I’m writing for other people as a freelance/ghostwriter. I currently have three books available.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is titled Colorotica. It’s an adult’s only coloring book. I was bored with kiddie coloring books and wanted more than flowery junk to color. So, after some long conversations and a full list of rules that the book had to comply with I put it out for others to enjoy.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Who doesnt have some kind of weird writing habbit? My walls and ceiling are decorated with plot lines in every direction. I love laying in bed and looking up to see my ideas floating around me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There are so many fantastic authors out there it’s hard to say who’s influenced me versus who I admire.
What are you working on now?
Right now I’m working on the final edits of I Am Lady Sasha: The Journey from Slave to Slave. Its a Tolkien-esque post appocolyptic fantasy romance about a woman who was sold as a slave to a master she despised before earning her freedom and becoming a slave to her community and eventually the world.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m a fan of word-of-mouth but I’ll admit to using social media as my preferred platform for promoting a new story.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Keep writing. LOL.
What are you reading now?
Right now I am reading the Spiderwick Chronicles with my little girl.
What’s next for you as a writer?
After volume one of I Am Lady Sasha is released I have another book that’s been waiting for edits.
