Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have a total of 20 titles, both in print and e-book format, many available for free download at Smashwords. I am a native Georgian living in Atlanta, GA, staff to one feline.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Nero’s Fiddle is my latest book. It is about an electromagnetic pulse attack on the United States. Captain Beverly Mossberg must get to Washington, DC on foot to assassinate the terrorist before he strikes again.
I was listening to One Second After by William Forschten on audiobook. This book brought the EMP attack down to a community level. As I listened, I began to visualize my own version of an EMP attack on the United States with women heroes.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
James Rollins was very influential for my writing of Nero’s Fiddle. I enjoy the action in his Sigma Force series coupled with historical facts. Dean Koontz also influences me with his use of description as well as real and timely events in his novels.
What are you working on now?
A science fiction series set on another planet.
