Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a happily married mother of two girls, one lives in South Carolina and one is attending college in Ireland. I am a Gigi of one grandson and one granddaughter. I live in Charleston, SC area, but love to travel all over the world. My husband and I own a local small business. I am about to publish my 2nd book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Over My Dead Body: A Supernatural Novel was inspired by the thought that God said: “Overy my dead body will my children go to hell!” It’s Christian Historical Fiction that dates back to the foundations of the earth, 70AD, and WWII to modern-day.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
It took me ten years to write this novel, mostly due to no time while raising kids. My habits in writing are I have to go somewhere inspiring and lock myself in a room for a few days at a time to get anything done. Not the best way to write a book as it took too long. My next one will be much faster now that my youngest is off at college.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Frank Peretti, Francine Rivers, Pearl S. Buck, Philippa Gregory, Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton.
What are you working on now?
I am still working on the final finishing touches on Over My Dead Body. The ebook is up and taking pre-sale priced ebook orders for a limited time at $2.99 on Amazon. The book will come out in paperback, hardback & audiobook (Read by NYT Bestseller, James L. Rubart) on 11/11/18.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am so new to this, I just started researching this very topic & found Awesome Gang so I am so excited to have found this group. What a blessing. Since my book is in a niche I will be looking for the best way to reach Christain Fiction readers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes, be prepared to work your booty off. This business is not for slackers. Learning a new industry is like earning a new degree so don’t be too hard on yourself and learn to have thick skin. Find the readers who like your niche.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?

What’s next for you as a writer?
Over My Dead Body has several directions I could go on a second book for a series. I have written a novelette which is the first chapter of the next book called The Bologna Journal.
