Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a mom who works full time at a retirement home, and spend the evenings hanging out with my kid and working on my writing. I currently have two books out. Reclaiming Psyche is my newest, and my first foray into Romance.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My most recent book is called Reclaiming Psyche. It came about from doing far to much reading in the romance category, and looking for something a little supernatural that wasn’t traditional. In the end, I wrote it myself.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think so. I sit in front of my computer in my living room, with too much coffee and my Spotify playlist on random. I’m usually hanging out watching my kid run around while I work.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I read everything. Some of my favorites are Douglass Adams, Laurell K Hamilton, and my current favorite (I read her books when I’m having a bit of a down day) is Ruby Dixon.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on a series of contemporary fantasy novels. Hopefully they will be out starting this year.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still working on it. Right now lots of my traffic comes from Instagram.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up. Keep writing, never stop reading!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t expect to become a success over night, it takes hard work, and dedication. Keep going.
What are you reading now?
Right now I’m reading Miranda Martin’s Red Planet Dragons Series
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m going to be working on my Fairykin series, I have the first three books in the works. Then I plan on working on the next book in my Gods and Monsters Series.
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?
Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon, Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton, and Last Chance to See by Douglass Adams.
