Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a jack-of-all-trades writer, with 8 books published, and short stories and essays in various anthologies and magazines. I write children’s books, non-fiction, sci-fi/fantasy, horror, and much more.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Too Wyrd was inspired by a dream and the Havamal, a text of Norse mythology. The combination gave me the idea to have the 18 spells of Odin from the Havamal be physical objects that the main character, Nicola, must find and protect. I’d been working on a piece for several years that ended up setting the general scene for the 1st chapter and kind of inspired the overall feeling of the book.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to eat gummies while I write. I can’t chew gum because the flavor doesn’t last long, but gummies are a great consistency for me to chew on.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series and M.R. Sellars’ Rowan Gant Investigations series were very influential to me. I’ve also felt very inspired by Anne MacCaffrey’s various works.
What are you working on now?
Too Wyrd is book 1 of the Runespells series. I’m working on book 2, Fluffy Bunny, as well as The Crystal Wise, a sci-fi, and Paper Dragons, a Mid-Grade fantasy.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve really enjoyed interacting with people on Facebook, as well as participating in various author events on that site.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep writing. Don’t think about the money. Just keep writing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just keep swimming! Dory had the best advice for anyone in virtually any situation.
What are you reading now?
I have a book that I’m reading for a review, Asana of Malevolence.
What’s next for you as a writer?
More writing, more publishing, much more promoting.
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?
Dead Beat by Jim Butcher, The Rowan by Anne MacCaffrey, and a couple of my fav romances (’cause I can reread them a bunch).
