Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I got my start in broadcasting, and co-produced Sirius XM Book Radio, so I got to talk to hundreds of authors. When my channel went off the air, I began writing my own books. I just released book number 4, so it’s about one a year!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Pure is a paranormal romance, a fairy tale inspired by the tapestry The Unicorn in Captivity. In my book, a young woman with a dark past saves the life of a unicorn.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Other than a cat on my lap and too much coffee, not really!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many! Pure was strongly influenced by Peter Beagle’s The Last Unicorn. My epic fantasy series The Demon Door was influenced by Dune. I look to Anne Rice for lush, sensual language and to authors like China Meiville for sheer audacity.
What are you working on now?
The third book in The Demon Door series, called the Glass Girl. Terrible things continue to happen to my poor beleaguered characters.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Meeting readers in person can’t be beat.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t be afraid to stink up the joint. You can’t fix a blank page.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write to finish.
What are you reading now?
In The Wake of the Plague by Norman Cantor. Research for a future project!
What’s next for you as a writer?
Picking out my outfit for The Golden Globes 🙂
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?
The Once and Future King, Dune, The Last Unicorn, The Eight
