Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Born in Cranbrook in the East Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, I have lived the majority of my life out at the coast in the provincial capital city of Victoria, the setting for my debut novel, In Her Mind’s Eye. I received a B.Ed. degree in 1983 from the University of Victoria where I have since worked for many years in administration in a busy Science department. Inspired by a good friend who is an author, I embarked on a writing project culminating in my first novel in 2015. I continue to write and am working on several projects including a sequel to my debut novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My debut novel is titled IN HER MIND’S EYE. I was inspired by a lifelong fascination with anything paranormal. I coupled this with an interest in crime fiction.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write better by hand so my debut novel was initially entirely hand-written. That way, I can write anywhere and on any piece of paper I have at hand if an idea comes to me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve always enjoyed authors such as Stephen King and Dean Koontz.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a sequel to my debut novel.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I haven’t much experience with promotion so I am starting with Goodreads. A lot of my friends recommended it.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write about what interests you.
What are you reading now?
I haven’t had a lot of time for reading lately with my book just released and my writing but I have mostly been re-reading some of my favourites.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’d like to see my book in bookstores.
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?
The Hobbit series. Best series I’ve ever read.
