Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a bucket list achieving, junk jewelry collecting, hopeless romantic who loves great wine and a good dose of adrenaline rush from time to time. I write under 2 pen names and have 7 books published. I have won several awards including Romantic Book of the Year and my books have been Amazon bestsellers several times.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Rise of Memphis – January Chronicles follows one woman’s journey into sexual self-discovery and the hunky men willing to fulfill her desires. I wanted to read a book where the woman was nervous about sex, ie not a sexual diva. I couldn’t find what I wanted and I always found erotica so serious. So I created a wonderful character – Jane Nichols who becomes her own naughty twin, Memphis, in order to find sexual gratification that’d been eluding her for three years. I also wanted to show that sex could be fun and that it wasn’t always perfect.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write best when I take my laptop and sit in a park or a cafe. Although writing about sex isn’t always easy when there are dozens of wholesome people sitting around me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Kylie Scotts – Stage dive series, Janet Evanovich, Nora Roberts, Cherry Adair, Matthew Reilly, Wilbur Smith.
What are you working on now?
This Rise of Memphis is a year long project for me. These books will release in Monthly Chronicles on the first of each month. It’s exciting watching the journey of my character take effect.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word of mouth is by far the best method to promote any book. So getting reviews is the most important thing for me.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep writing. If you plan to write 200 words each day then before you know it, you’ll have a book. Your craft will improve.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Watching movies can improve your writing. When I watch movies, I truly study the character to see what works. I want the characters to be true to themselves so I’m always looking for what they shouldn’t have done.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading Ice Twins – S.K. Tremayne.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m about to start another action adventure romance set in Mexico. The book was inspired by a very recent trip to a Mayan Temple in Cancun, Mexico. I love the idea of weaving treasure hunts into a gripping romance.
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’d have to take my all-time favorites which I’ve already read dozens of times over:
Ice Station – Matthew Reilly
Deception Point – Dan Brown
River God – Wilbur Smith
The Reef – Nora Roberts
