Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an inspirational author. My romantic fiction books always have a splash of mystery or suspense entwined.
I live in North Carolina. My novels published with Prism Book Group include, Escape to Big Fork Lake, Stone of Destiny and Redemption in Big Fork Lake.
I have a novella titled, Postmark Ever After, published by Lovely Christian Romance.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest novel is Postmarked Ever After. The inspiration for it came from ideas of how the Lord can guide believers to a better life, even after they have suffered.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I must write in order. I cannot sketch out individual chapters and piece them together.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I enjoy Nichols Sparks
What are you working on now?
I have two works for the future. Christmas at Angel Ranch and Sparks of Love.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think Awesome Gang is great. This is one good way to promote, there are other such as Good Reads. Face Book also has genre groups that authors can join.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing and don’t give up. Submit to many publishers and one will notice, if you put an effort in it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Always strive for better.
