Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello!
After ghostwriting dozens of books for other people/publishers, I finally decided to try it for myself!
So far, I’ve written a holiday novella, and four books to complete my first series: The Socialites.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Say Everything” is the last book of the series. It’s inspired by the cult-classic “Say Anything” – a rom-com from the ’80s.
Though the cover and some references in the book pay homage to the film, you’ll appreciate the inside jokes without having seen it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Just a lot of daydreaming and procrastinating!
I also like to smell things while I write for inspiration. Strange? Most likely. Some like visual inspiration, I like #aromaticinspo.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The authors who originally hooked me on books were Robert Munsch and Gordan Korman. Both Canadian heroes!
What are you working on now?
I’m writing a book centered around – you guessed it – smells. It’s the first in a cozy-romantic-mystery series. The characters are so fun they have me rushing back to my desk every day!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Promotional websites like this one have provided great exposure for me. I also love my loyal mailing list recipients and Instagram!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing and enjoy the process!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Any advice I receive about not comparing myself to others!
What are you reading now?
The People We Meet on Vacation – Emily Henry
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully, I keep getting the honor of writing to provide entertainment and an escape!
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 probably choose all of the impossibly long classics I have yet to make it through: Anna Karenina, War and Peace, Ulysses.
