Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an editor by day and writer by night. I wrote my first book when I was 16, and so far I’ve published 3 books: 2 full-length novels and one poetry collection.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Of Love and Deception is my most recent work. It’s Book 1 in what’s probably going to be an 8-book series. It’s a contemporary Christian romance saga that pushes the boundaries of what Christian fiction is, as in there are a few touchy subjects in the books, but they’re there to highlight important issues like domestic abuse and addiction.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Sometimes I “write” by dictating to Siri. If I have a sudden inspiration for a scene, but all I have with me is my iPhone, instead of trying to type on my phone, I’ll just pull up notes, click the little voice command button and then speak my words to Siri. Later on, when I get to my computer, I transcribe it onto my computer.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Kristen Heitzmann has been one of my favorite authors since my middle school days. Her Rocky Mountain Legacy is what really got me hooked into reading and made me dream of one day becoming an author too.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on Book 2 of my Tainted Love Saga: Of Love and Family. With any luck, I’ll have it out in at least 6 months (maybe sooner). *fingers crossed*
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Fans. Fans help promote my books so much. There is nothing quite like those word-of-mouth book recommendations.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Writing is a way of life. Live it. Breathe it. Do it. Make it part of your every day life, and it’ll become second-nature to you.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these. things shall be added unto you.” – Matthew 6:33
Put God first in everything, and He’ll do amazing things.
What are you reading now?
A couple of things:
1. Beauty of the Beast by Rachel L. Demeter
2. The Seeking Heart by Francois Fenelon
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have so many ideas bouncing around in my head. The challenge is finding the time to execute them all.
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?
1. The Holy Bible
2. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
3. Phantom by Susan Kay
4. 1989 by K. L. Lowe
