What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
CHAMPAGNE WIDOWS is my newest novel about the first woman of champagne, Veuve Clicquot who in 1800s battled pandemics, mental illness, wars and even Napoleon Bonaparte to make her champagne. I love stories about strong women who did unprecentended things no one knows about!

I wake up at 4am, go to my writing studio, light a candle and let the story flow.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am loving other authors of historical fiction: Stephanie Dray, Martha Conway, Kate Quinn. Very inspirational!
What are you working on now?
I am half way through two novels which are sequels to previous novels. Gold Digger, the Remarkable Baby Doe Tabor has a sequel about her daughter, SILVER DOLLAR and her burning desire to be a theater star. Also, MADAME POMMERY another stunning Champagne Widows story.

I really enjoy engaging with facebook groups of readers, and bloggers.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m taking my time and taking great care and attention for CHAMPAGNE WIDOWS marketing. It took me five years to write, so the least I can do is give it five months to market!
