Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a romance author, primarily of LGBT romance, living in Colorado. I believe that everyone deserves a love story, and I love writing the romantic journeys of my characters. I currently have four male/female contemporary romances, mostly rom-com, and two male/male romances with more on the way.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It’s called Ex-Daredevil, and it was an idea I had years ago when I was working on small town romances. I came up with a hilarious meet-cute, where a skydiver almost crashes into a car, where Eliott & Gavin have chemistry from that very second, but seem like total opposites in every way.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Does always needing to have music on count?
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Far too many to count! But my current must-reads are Lily Morton and Sierra Simone. They craft fantastic, three-dimensional characters and the settings are so layered.
What are you working on now?
The next book in my current Local Beats series, which is about two men coming face-to-face again after having a contentious, complicated relationship when they were younger.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m just starting out in a new sub-genre, but I’m loving how active LGBT romance authors are on Facebook especially, there are so many lovely groups.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Take the time before your first book comes out to learn everything you can and star to build a presence and get to know other authors. Join groups and read books, take courses if you’re able to, and of course, don’t forget to keep writing!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If you can finish a rough draft, then whatever you’re doing, keep doing it.
What are you reading now?
Bat Boy by Christina Lee
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m still just starting out at this stage, so I’m going to enjoy this before I think about that!
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 be in big trouble, because I read so much, I mostly only read ebooks! I’d probably pick the three longest, most epic paperbacks I have.
