Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written one book and intend for it to be a series. I reside in Kansas and have my whole life. I love dogs, which is what my book is about.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Leroux Goes To Nana’s is my latest book. It was inspired by my dog and my grandma aka nana. I lost both of them last year and it hit me really hard. They were both such beautiful souls and I need to keep their spirits alive so others get to enjoy them still.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
not really
What authors, or books have influenced you?
De de Cox inspired me. We became friends through our dogs actually.My dog Leroux had a huge social media following and when she passed away I was talking to DeDe a few months later and she encouraged me to write my book.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working the next book in my series about Leroux.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I usually just use facebook because everyone who followed Leroux followed her on there, and yes she had more friends than me.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just follow your dreams and keeping working towards your goals because they are always achievable with determination.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do something that scares you.
What are you reading now?
All of De de Cox book’s, trying to catch up on those.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hoping to continue my series of children’s books, get in some interviews to promote it and hopefully get some book signings going.
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 my book” Leroux Goes to Nana’s” only because I would want to be connected with my dog and grandma, they were both my support system and the book makes me feel closer to them every time I read it.
Any of Caroline B Cooney’s books. I loved her series with the face on the milk carton and could read them over and over.
