Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a contemporary romance author of three published full length novels.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My most recent release is titled “Darling’s Desire” and it was inspired by the small town I grew up in. I liked the idea of setting a rock star romance in a sleepy little town. The story called to me because of the mix of cultures, fame and the mystery of unusual deaths all occurring around a lake. I guess I watched a few too many of those Scooby Doo mysteries with famous guest stars growing up!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I spend a lot of time writing by speaking into a microphone. It helps me when I am blocked on dialog. I also make charts of what is happening in my stories but I don’t know that any of that is unusual.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love Julie Garwood, Susan Johnson and RL Mathewson. Garwood’s books are romantic and funny with a heavy dose of suspense while Johnson writes steamy hot sex in exotic locations. Mathewson’s stories just leave me smiling.
What are you working on now?
My current project is a paranormal erotic romance about an incubus demon and a veterinary technician. It really will have to be read to be believed!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Get your name out there everywhere. Do blog hops with other authors, cross promote and just keep writing.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing, keep writing, keep writing – it is my mantra.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You are going to be spending another 4o years in the work force, you might as well figure out something you don’t hate doing. That’s what my dad told me when I was scared of going back to night school in order to get into a better job. Best advice ever.
What are you reading now?
Currently I am reading “Perfecting Patience” and will be reviewing this awesome rock love story soon.
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 take two reference books (I don’t really know anything about desert islands after all) and my copy of Julie Garwood’s “Ransom.” That story always makes me smile.
