Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a busy single mother raising two girls. I love my job, which is an Educational Assistant, helping kids be their best.
I’ve “written” quite a few books, but I’ve published two, Time After Time: Backward and Time After Time: Forward. Book three in my series, Time After Time: Frozen will be out August 2021.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Time After Time: Backward and Time After Time: Forward. Soon also, Time After Time: Frozen.
This series began with a dream I had when I was 15. It was just an odd dream, and when I woke up I went WTF was that? But after I wanted to know more about it and it began to evolve. That was twenty years ago, so would say it’s had one heck of an evolution!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Most of my book ideas have come from dreams. I have very vivid dreams, usually in colour, and more than once I’ve wanted to know what happens next, and had to create it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Who doesn’t love Jane Austen? I grew up reading anything and everything really, but it wasn’t until I discovered Elizabeth Gilbert that I went WHOA!!! She writes the way my brain thinks and it made me realize I wanted to actually DO SOMETHING with these thoughts and feelings I was having.
What are you working on now?
Oh Book 4 of course! It doesn’t have a title or a publication date yet, but stay tuned!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use social media mostly to get the word out there.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Haha no. I still consider myself a new author, so if anyone has any advice for me, throw it at me!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
About writing? Successful people wake up early.
Or about life? See above.
What are you reading now?
Oh, boy. My summer reading list is extensive.
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?
Eat. Pray. Love.- Elizabeth Gilbert.
Pride and Prejudice.- Jane Austen.
Girl Logic. -Iliza Schlesinger.
