Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a full time employee, full time mother, and full time writer. I know, that’s a lot of full times but somehow it all comes together. I am the proud author of Daughter of the Light. It’s my first published novel but I’m always working on something. It’s the first book in the series and I look forward to bringing out the rest of the series as soon as I’m able.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Daughter of the light is my latest book. It was inspired by a great love of sci fi, fantasy, and the idea of creating other worlds that no one has ever heard of before. My father was a great inspiration for my novel and a great support for it before he passed away.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have set up play lists I make up when I write as well as a set of movies or shows that I watch or listen to while I’m writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
J R R Tolken is probably a big inspiration to anyone writing in the genre, me included. I love Terry Brooks and have read most of his books. R A Salvatore is awesome and I love his books. I have to say all of them and more have been a huge inspiration to me.
What are you working on now?
Surprisingly to some I’m working on a horror novel called The Invited but I’m also editing book 2 of daughter of the light series to check for mistakes and doing a little tweaking here and there.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have an authors page on Amazon and am still working on setting up some things.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep trying, keep doing. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers, half of them are jealous and have of them are afraid that you’ll fail. Don’t worry about them, just follow your heart, take that leap and learn from it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t worry about what others say when they put your dreams down, most of the time they’re jealous- my father and husband.
What are you reading now?
the second book in the possession series by Nancy Holder
What’s next for you as a writer?
seeing where the series takes me (I’m already done 10 books but after edits we’ll see what I’m working with), seeing where the journey of The Invited takes me.
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?
*John Saul- The Blackstone Chronicles
*Terry Brooks- Magical Kingdom of Landover (the whole collection)
*Hilary Monahan- Mary the summoning
*Terry Brooks- First King of Shannara
