Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Christian wife and mom. We live in a cordwood home that we built ourselves over ten years ago. I started writing when our youngest daughter went to college. I have fourteen published books, and many more in the works!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest book is called Finding Love in Christmas Creek. It is a feel-good Christmas romance, inspired by my love of Christmas-time romances in books and movies. My other new book is the fourth in my Mail Order Bride Express series. It is called Love in the Wind. I love history and the American west is a special love of mine.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. I do like quiet when I write, though sometimes I will listen to instrumental music.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have loved reading since I was a small child and read many authors. I am especially partial to mysteries by Agatha Christie and Anne Perry.
What are you working on now?
I am writing more in my Mail Order Bride Express series and also have a few other books in the making.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I like Romance Reviews, as well as using my author page on Facebook.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write what you love!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write even when others discourage you.
What are you reading now?
I am reading through Louis L’Amour books.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Just to keep it up!
