Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a writer that is inspired by our beautiful earth and pretty much anything related to romance and love.
I have penned two books to date, one fiction romance for young adults and a poetry book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest work is a collection of poems titled, “A Long Midnight”. I was inspired by the many emotions of falling in, out, and back in love.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to be near the ocean or out in nature when I am writing. Being alone in nature’s birdsong and listening to the waves rolling in calms my heart, and I can easily escape to a place where anything is possible.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Kurt Vonnegut’s short stories have inspired me to write. I will read anything that I can learn from and also leaves me feeling inspired.
What are you working on now?
I am working on another poetry book. I found where my true heart wants to be for now-in love with nature.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I like to use Instagram to share my poetry and am still exploring new avenues to promote my work.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Find what works best for your writing style. I prefer “freestyle”. I just write, see where I land, then go back and edit.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Whenever you feel overwhelmed, take 3 deep breaths, and start again.
What are you reading now?
I am reading and studying the Anthology of U.S. Women Writers. I enjoy the variety of short stories and poems that this ginormous book offers.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I will continue writing poetry related to nature and whatever the days inspire me to.
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?
I would bring 3 for sure!
