Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I write Women’s Fiction and Romance.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book just released. It was book 4 in the Hideaway Lake series. When I wrote the series, we had stayed at this wonderful small town with a lake in the mountains of Pennsylvania. As I was sitting on the porch I knew there was a story to tell, so I told it and I’m still writing about that beautiful little place.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I’m always against a deadline. It is self-imposed but I like writing that way.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many. But in The Women’s Fiction category I would have to say, Pamela M Kelley, Rachel Hanna, and Kirstin Hannah to name a few. I could fill up this page with names of authors that have inspired me.
What are you working on now?
I’m still working on the Hideaway Lake series book 5, The Sisters of Summer.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I love awesome gang <grins> and Bookbub to name a few.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes. Keep writing. The more you practice and get those books out there, the better of a writer you become. Nothing tops that.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never, ever give up. Such a simple sentence, but it’s so true.
What are you reading now?
I just finished a book on email marketing. I love to keep up with the trends and markets. I feel as if there is always something new happening. For pleasure reading, I just finished the Beach House by Rachel Hanna.
What’s next for you as a writer?
You never know. There is always a story to be told. I love what I do and am constantly making mental notes of another story to write about.
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?
First, my bible. Then, I’d take along a trilogy by Heather Graham. One Wore Blue, One Wore Gray, and One Rode West. It’s such a great series. I think I’d take along Kathy Gifford’s The Rock, the Road and the Rabbi. I’ve been meaning to read that for a long time. It’s in my library on my kindle.
