Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in the make believe as I find real life depressing and hard. I love music, find it relaxing and emotional, love to be moved by a good song. I have loved horses my whole life, and nothing feels more right than sitting in a saddle escaping in the wooded trails, with my faithful dog alongside me every step of the way.
I studied Creative Writing and Journalism in University, then stepped into the health care field as I have always been one to care about people and want to help.
I could never silence the stories in my head. Once I began to write, I knew there would be no turning back.
I aim to be a well known best-selling author, so I can write my stories full time. At this time I have written 4 books and have just begun my next novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Forget Me Not,
The influences for book was simple inspiration from working in health care. You see so many families torn apart by things they can’t control. It’s interesting how religion often comes into play in a time of need. Some people take advantage of that and it ends up being unhealthy.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I will wake up in the middle of the night with a brilliant idea, and I am often found on my couch with laptop writing it out while the thought is fresh in my mind. I do a lot of 3 a.m. writing sessions
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love Megan Miranda, and the way she tells her stories, all of them. Jane Austen. I like to see woman authors paving the way. I’m not necessarily the biggest Harry Potter fan, but J.K. Rowling is very impressive. I’m watching and reading Ruth Ware. Her books are fantastic.
What are you working on now?
Oh! I started working on a new book. Just started
Can’t say too much. Work in progress. It will bounce between the then and the now. You’ll all have to wait to see how it all comes together.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Still working on that. I am honestly having the most trouble with marketing and advertising, I wish I could just write. I’ve tried facebook, twitter, booksgosocial, different reader lists, and trying to figure out amazon promotion, which is confusing to me.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up. Write what inspires you, your fan club will find you, eventually.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To just keep on writing, be prepared to write more than you ever have written in your life, as sometimes it takes 20 books before you are noticed and be prepared for rejection.
Even Nicholas Sparks got many rejections before he hit the jackpot.
Your day will come.
What are you reading now?
I am reading Megan Miranda’s All The Missing Girls (as good as all the rest)
What’s next for you as a writer?
Writing and more writing. I’m inspired by the world around me and the smallest event can trigger a story idea. Life is interesting and unpredictable. Maybeee one day my books will take off like hotcakes and I’ll finally be someone well known, but it takes time though.
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?
I can think of 3
A survival book for being stranded on a desert island (lol)
The biggest encyclopedia so I have lots of paper to start fires with
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell because it was my first favorite book ever.
