Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello, I wrote this book completely by accident! My husband, Ben and I started our relationship on text messaging only. Over time I decided to use them as a base and write a fiction novel based off of our life experiences since ours was so unique. Since it is text messages, there will be many more books to come!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Reality. Is inspired by our real life text messaging relationships between Kate and her soul mate Tommy, Ben and his psychotic ex Amanda as well as Ben and Kate’s entire relationship from the very first message through life, marriage, kids and more.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Text messages only!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am a brand new author and have never been much of a reader. I will now be reading in appreciation of the craft.
What are you working on now?

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
social media, word of mouth and paid advertisements.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep going! Don’t give up. Writing your story is the smallest step in the process. When it’s finished you feel like you have climbed a mountain (and you have) but just to find a bigger one right in front of you. Don’t give up! Find the resources you need to succeed.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be careful what you text. It might end up in a book one day.
