Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am the author of over 50 historical romance and mystery novels, written over the last 20 years.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
McShane’s Bride (The Dotsero Train Wreck) Based on an actual event.
In our family history notes, my grandmother said she lost a baby in a head-on train wreck. Researching train wrecks in that time period, I found this one in 1909 – the worst wreck in Colorado history.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Unusual habits? Not that I’m aware of, but then who knows?
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I learn something new about writing in each book I read, and my interests often switch genre.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a book about a gold digger and am planning to make it book one in a family saga.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up, research everything, only take advice from some with a proven sales record.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write what you love to read.
What are you reading now?
Queen Victoria
What’s next for you as a writer?
Just to keep writing. I can’t seem to stop.
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?
The Bible. There’s enough plots in that book to keep me writing for years. Would writing tablets count as books? I’d need at least a dozen of those.
