Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a court reporter in Michigan. I’ve written five books and one short story.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called The Tunnels. It is set in my hometown of Harbor Springs, Michigan and is about secret tunnels built by mobsters in the 1920s. I’ve always been drawn to the building that was once a speakeasy owned by The Purple Gang of Detroit. As a child, I would always notice the top of the roof peeking over the trees when we would drive by. I heard about the tunnels when I was in college. The idea lingered in the back of my mind until I thought of Chapter 1 and knew the story had to come out.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m very superstitious about only writing in my sunroom.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Danielle Steel and Jack Canfield are two of my favorite authors.
What are you working on now?
I am working on the second book in the Harbor Secret Series called Devil’s Elbow.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook has been my best method for promoting my books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice to new authors is to just keep writing. The more you write, the more feedback you get, and it will make you better.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard….. I have to just choose one? If you don’t change what you do, your life won’t change.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading The Crooked Tree as research for Devil’s Elbow.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Another Harbor Secret story, and then a historical fiction book based on a European island. I’ve also recently come up with an idea for a horror story.
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?
