Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an avid reader and writer of all things romance. I’ve published ten books, written a total of twelve with four more outlined and waiting patiently for their stories to come to life. I’m currently writing a seasoned romance series and another series set in a winery in the Finger Lakes Region of New York.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Blue is my most recent release it was the third book in an antique wedding dress trilogy. The old saying, something Old New, Borrowed and Blue all fit the story line so the book titles were launched.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have a great memory so I write in my head a lot and then jot it down as soon as I have the means. I think my brain is always in creative mode.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Carolyn Keene from the Nancy Drew books- Nancy was such as fearless girl. I still own the entire series. I also love Nora Roberts and her J.D. Robb series. I read so many authors and in one way or another they all influence me.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently editing a seasoned romance about a matchmaker and I’m writing book 2 in my Crystal Lake Series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I try to blanket social media as best I can but I’m a social media basket case. I’m not very good at it. I’m still learning. I love to go to book events and meet and talk to readers. That is a lot of fun.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep writing and find a great editor they are worth their weight in platinum. I have finally found an editor who I love and work well with, she challenges me. Also the other tip, great a tough critique partner. Mine is tough and we’ve become great friends. She has definitely helped push me to better books.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
At some point you have to stop editing or you’ll edit the heart out of the book. Your next books is always better than your last.
