Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a Texas girl with an amazing family. I have several books written, but only one, Lonesome Wolf, is published.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Lonesome Wolf is my latest, and first, novel. I have always loved Texas and the Old West. I also love Christian Historical Romance. One day, I read a book by a prominent author – I hated the ending with a passion. I decided I could write a book with a similar couple but a more satisfying ending; so, I did.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m not sure how unusual it is, but I often write for hours in the middle of the night. I’ll wake up with a scene in my head and grab my computer and write it out.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Tamera Alexander is my absolute favorite author. Her works inspire me to create. I also love Louis L’Amour. I like to think of my writing as landing somewhere between the two, equally influenced by both.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the sequel to Lonesome Wolf, Jack Ellison. It tells the story of a character from Lonesome Wolf sho is not-so-well-liked. It has been an awesome journey, growing to like him through his actions and heart.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think maybe Facebook has been my best help in promoting my books. I love my personal website, but my Facebook author page gets much more traffic.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for new authors would be to write first and edit second, Get your story down on paper. No matter how careful you are with your first draft, it will need changes. So, why not write out your story as you’re thinking about it, so you don’t forget it, and go back and edit it when you have time.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Write what you know.” I fully believe there is a time and place for writing about something as you’re learning about it. But, to write what you know gives you a freedom that allows you to write more easily and let the story flow. As a new writer, it is advice that allows you to create a work and have something under your belt. Then, you are free to write about whatever you want.
What are you reading now?
I am reading “And Then There Were None,” by Agatha Christie.” I teach high school English and am reading it for my curriculum.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Next for me is a, hopefully healthy, mix of writing the sequel to Lonesome Wolf and marketing Lonesome Wolf at the same time. I foresee it taking up a lot of my time. 😉
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?
Wow. Hart to choose. I think I would take Louis L’Amour’s “Hondo,” Tamera Alexander’s “To Whisper Her Name,” and the Bible.
