Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m the mother of four kiddos, an ACT tutor, an English teacher as well as author. I’ve written two books with number three in the works.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I’m currently working on “Stealing Cinderella” which features the fairy-tale favorite story with one exception, Cinderella is a thief. I thought it would be so much fun to watch Cinderella steal her way into the prince’s heart while she’s trying to purloin some shoes for the ball.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have to have a mason jar full of water right next to me on the computer.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Orson Scott Card, Charles Dickens, JK Rowling, and Garth Nix.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on “Stealing Cinderella” which features the fairy-tale favorite story with one exception, Cinderella is a thief. I thought it would be so much fun to watch Cinderella steal her way into the prince’s heart while she’s trying to purloin some shoes for the ball.
I’ve also pre-writing “Keep Not the Dead,” the sequel to Lexi’s adventures in “Wake Not the Dead”.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Other readers! They are what keep the book going. It’s my readers that help my books to succeed.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep writing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If you don’t like it, your readers won’t either. At least writing advice. I’d have to stick with Thumper’s words of wisdom, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” And don’t stick your finger in that socket.
What are you reading now?
Firefight by Brandon Sanderson. He’s brilliant. Gush.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Starting my fairytale series then finishing the Lexi Chronicles. Somewhere in there will be another anthology.
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?
Book of Mormon, Tale of Two Cities by Dickens, Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, and Persuasion by Jane Austen.
