Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve been a romance junky since a young age. As a girl I reached for book after book, looking for that happily ever after I always believed in. I write contemporary romance with a touch of danger. So far I have published 7 books and I have many more to come!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Unsettled Mind just released. It is a free novella and is a introductory book to my series The Heroes of Calvano Security. The story was inspired by a need for some free content! I wanted something to provide my readers and Silvi is a side character from the first book I wrote. Her sassy attitude appealed to me. Before long her love interest popped into my head and on it went.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Unusual? Well I don’t plan a thing. I am a panster or a discovery writer which many people think is crazy. I’m also a total binge writer. It’s not uncommon for me to write nonstop for a week straight and get an entire book done. Oh and snickers, I always need snickers.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Maya Banks, Ann Rice and Laurell K Hamiliton are a few authors I adored when I was younger. Reading there stuff made me believe I could write my own. As a self published author I have grown to adore so many in the community. Sarah Bailey, Nicole Banks, Ayla Asher, and so many more and simply killing it and I admire the heck out of them.
What are you working on now?
My next series is a Billionaire trope. Book One is done but needs some edits. It’s a three book series about two brothers and a sister they never knew they had. Since all of my books are created within the same universe you get to see some of the characters from my first series as well. I can’t wait to get it out there!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have the most success with things like newsletter swaps and group promos. I have dabbled in AMS advertising and Facebook advertising but I don’t have that down to a science just yet. I prefer connecting with readers through other authors.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep moving forward! Publish that book and don’t look back. It will never be perfect, the first one is always the hardest so get it done. 😉
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To do things my own way. I was always told to never edit as I write but that just doesn’t work for me. I need a clean first draft otherwise I get too overwhelmed by the amount of work that needs to go into edits. An author friend told me to ignore that advice and do what I need to do. It was the best advice ever and it’s the process I follow to this day.
What are you reading now?
My Cameron by M.A. Innes
What’s next for you as a writer?
More books! That’s what should be next for most writers. I have 7 planned for 2022 plus my first entry to an anthology that is coming out next year.
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?
It would have the be The Devil’s Syndicate series by Sarah Bailey
