Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a new adult romance author who loves heroes and heroines that are as broken as they are sexy: real-world people falling in out-of-this-world love.
As of August, 2018, I’ve published seven novels.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Darling, All at Once is a standalone novel and first in the Fairfields series. The short version: Juliet’s sister wants her to be her surrogate, but Juliet discovers she can’t do it…because she’s already pregnant, thanks to a one-night stand with a guy she’d never choose sober.
Juliet and Cohen’s story started out as an online rant. No, really: I was posting to Reddit on a “get it off your chest” thread, fuming over my own sister’s wedding. She treated me like a slave for an entire year, and I was just *done.* Of course, it finally hit me that I should’ve just told her no when her demands reached My Super Sweet Sixteen proportions. That’s when the story first started to take shape for me.
I was also inspired by my husband. We’re very different people, like Juliet and Cohen, but we somehow work together. I love opposites-attract stories, so I just couldn’t ignore Darling, All at Once when it started building itself in my head.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Too many. One of them is propping my water bottle on my boobs and sipping nonstop when I edit. I think getting up to refill it (and pee) is the only reason I move at all, most days.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m a huge fan of Samantha Christy and L.J. Shen. But…isn’t everyone? 🙂
What are you working on now?
I’m losing sleep and loving it, writing Honey, When it Ends – the second book of the Fairfields series, also a standalone. It focuses on Juliet’s roommate and Cohen’s older brother from Darling, and I’m so excited to give those characters their own HEA.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Newsletter promos, PPC ads, and taking time to communicate with every reader who reaches out.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I still consider myself new, so giving advice feels kind of pompous, haha. I guess I’d have to say set up a mailing list, if nothing else. I resisted it so much, then made one a few days before I published my first book. It wasn’t as difficult as I expected, and it helped so much.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The harder you work, the luckier you get.
What are you reading now?
Chasing Stars by Mercedes Siler.
What’s next for you as a writer?
After the Fairfields series, I have 2 more series planned. I usually get a new idea for a book or series in the middle of writing another.
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?
Midnight Blue by L.J. Shen, the Mitchell Sisters box set by Samantha Christy (I count it as one book…please don’t make me choose!), Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen, and pretty much any book by Nora Roberts.
