Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I grew up in a small town and I still live in that same small town. I have loved to read since I was a little girl and have been writing stories since elementary school. I never persued writing until later on in life. I have published one book so far and am currently working on my second with notes jotted down for ideas for my third.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Lost In Grey and it is a work of fiction but it was inspired by some things that I went through in my life when I had depression. I think that mental health needs to be talked about more and not hush hush or set aside.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nothing too unusual for me. I like my coffee while writing and some show playing in the background. If I am out and do not have my laptop with me and I get an idea I will write it down on whatever I can find to write on.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I read everything, I am not stuck to one genre of writing. I like Stephen King, Diana Gabaldon, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Nicholas Sparks, Anne Rice, J.K. Rowling.
What are you working on now?
Currently I am on working on a fantasy novel called Hybrid: The Awakening and have a thriller/horror novel ideas.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am pretty new at this so I am still learning the best ways to promote my book. So far I have found my facebook page to have the most interactions.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Always keep trying to get your work out there. You might have rejection after rejection but eventually that one person will take a chance on you and you can always self-publish.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do what you love!
What are you reading now?
