Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a mother two 3 human kids and 1 dog. I have been married since 1998. In 2013 we moved from sunny Southern California for South Western Pennsylvania. (The husband made me do it!) I was born and raised in So. Cal and this move was one of the hardest I have ever had to do. My parents and brother still live in my childhood home. So far I have one book published called Changing Lives. It was released July 19, 2015. It is a historical romance with a paranormal twist. It takes place in modern day and the Titanic is involved. I will have a new book coming out January 11, 2016 called Freeing Lost Souls. And in February sometime I will be part of an anthology, with a short story from FLS. I plan on writing at least one more book in the Freeing Lost Souls series. But only time and the voices in my head will tell 😉
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Freeing Lost Souls, to be released January 11, 2016. Two summers ago my family and I took a trip to Gettysburg for the first time. My parents made it out for the trip as well. My dad is a huge history buff and the Civil War is one of his favorites. While at Gettysburg I felt odd. I like to think that I brought a ghost home, and he wanted his story told. It took me about a year to get this book done. Once I started it just flowed.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t know if they are really unusual. My desk has to start off organized. Of course it doesn’t stay that way, but at least it starts off the way I want it. I always have a jar of Jordon Almonds sitting on my desk. You know the wedding candy that no one likes. Yup those ones! And I have to have Pandora on. With Freeing Lost Souls I created a Civil War station to keep me in the mood.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
JK Rowling all of the Harry Potter books
Stephanie Meyer all of the Twilight books
Anything by H.M. Ward
E.L. James just because she was bashed so much.
What are you working on now?
Right now I am working on editing Freeing Lost Souls and I am writing a short story from FLS for an anthology. My story in the anthology will be called Past, Present and Future. We hope to have it out sometime in February.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Well Facebook is where I do most of my promoting, but since they are starting to ban authors from doing so I am starting to look into other ventures. I am on almost every social media outlet I could find. Recently I started up a group on Google Plus to see if that is any better. I just started it last week so we will have to see.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing. You never know if you can do it until you try. When I first started writing Changing Lives I never thought I would do anything with it. I let my author friend Eryn Black read it and she told me to submit it and see what happens. She thought it was good and different from any other Titanic story she had heard of. So I did.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Keep writing. Doesn’t matter what you write just keep writing.
What are you reading now?
I am between books right now. But the next one on my list is Manwhore by H.M. Ward. I love her books.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I plan to keep writing. I can’t wait to see where the voices in my head take me. I have a supernatural vampire type story that is working it’s way into my head.
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?
Fifty Shades of Grey for some spice.
Harry Potter for the fantasy
BUT if I knew ahead of time that I would be stranded I would totally load up my kindle with as much as I could!
