Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in eastern Pennsylvania where I devour romance novels by the dozen along with chocolate while I wait for the zombie apocalypse. Until that day comes, I enjoy trips to the beach, designing websites, taking too many photos of sunsets and going to rock concerts. I’ve written a collection of poetry, 3 stand alone books, and 3 books in my vampire series.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called The Fall of Diablo, and it was inspired by a dream I had. One night I dreamt about a woman riding with a man on a motorcycle. A storm blows in and they seek shelter in a pharmacy. The dream stuck with me and I knew there was a story there waiting to be told. It took me awhile but Autumn’s story finally made it to paper.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m not sure if you could consider it unusual, but I tend to write in small intervals, maybe 15-20 minutes at a time, while working on other projects.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I grew up in a small town, with a small library, and I’ve always been a voracious reader, checking out 10-20 books at a time. By the time I reached high school I had read all of the children’s, young adult and history books they had. The romance novels were by far the biggest section of the library with 4 rows of books and I was hooked. I read a lot of V.C. Andrews, Catherine Coulter, and a slew of Harlequin Romance books. Today, I read books with a paranormal twist, such as those by Christine Feehan.
What are you working on now?
I’m actually in the middle of deciding what to work on next. I’ve had multiple requests to write the next book in my vampire series, A Joyous Romance, but I also have another story outlined based on a dream I had about a year ago now. It’s been waiting patiently for me to finish other projects I’ve been working on. So it’s a toss up between something completely new or taking a visit back to my old friends Joy and Sam.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Instagram, I always get a lot of interaction and feedback when I post new book covers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Even if you think it’s dumb, just put it on the page. You can always come back and re-write… and re-write… and maybe tweak it one more time later. But don’t let yourself get hung up on your first draft.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t be afraid of what you write.
What are you reading now?
I just finished A Fifth of Tequila: An Althea Rose Mystery by Tricia O’Malley. I think I read books 1-5 in the span of a week, they were addicting.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Finding a way to get my books into the hands of more readers, and possibly expanding into the young adult genre.
