1.
When did you first
realize you wanted to become a Writer/author?
I would say that it was after I
wrote Widower’s Aura. I realized it
was something I would have purchased for myself as a reader. I missed the high
I got during scenes when I didn’t know what was coming until my fingers would
fly over the keyboard.
2.
Where do you get your ideas for
your book?
‘What if’s’ really are the
beginning to my ideas. Widower’s Aura
was an idea after my best friend died. She never had her own love story. As I
wrote Widower’s Aura I really enjoyed
Lindsey and Marc’s story and that’s how I realized it would become a series.
3.
What kind of things do you enjoy
when not writing?
Reading, video games, running
(which I need to get back to), movies, and traveling are a few of the things I
enjoy doing.
4.
How many books have you written?
Which is your favorite?
I have almost three books
written now. There are also two short stories. I almost feel like the one I’m currently
working on is my favorite, so it’s always changing.
5.
Do you have any suggestions to
help others who have a passion for writing?
As much as it frustrates even me
to hear, patience. Don’t rush things. The writing needs time as does the
editing and marketing. It’s hard work but you don’t want to hate it by putting
too much pressure on yourself.
6.
What do you think makes a great
story?
The relationship between the
characters. You can’t get into a novel that has an abundance of detail or flat
characters you can’t relate to. Luckily no two people are alike so we have a
vast amount of personalities to enjoy coming together.
7.
Which Writer/Authors inspire
you?
Marie Force, Kathleen Brooks,
Carina Adams, Rachel VanDyken... to name a few. I’ve been following MF, KB, and
RVD since their beginnings so to see how far they have come makes me feel like
a cheerleader on the sidelines.
8.
What are you working on at the
moment?(optional)
I’m editing and prepping Always Mine for it’s March release. I
will then finish writing book three of the St. Fleur series, Duplicity. I also just wrote a short
story for a blog.
9.
What genre are your books?
Contemporary Romance and
Suspense
10. What
drew you to the genre you write?
It’s the genre I love to devour.
Before I wrote Widower’s Aura I was
like most readers. I could easily read 7+ books in a week.
11. Which
Actor/Actress would you like to see portraying the lead character from your
most recent book?(any book you like)
Josh Duhamel is my Noah Tyler.
12. Do
you write full-time or part-time?
Part-time. I’m a stay at home
mom so all of my work (writing, social media, etc...) revolves around my
family.
13. What
is the hardest thing about writing?
The guilt. I write with my girls
around because if not I’d never write. The mommy guilt makes me wonder if I’m
neglecting them at times.
14. Any
tips on how to get through the dreaded Writer’s block?
I find that reading your work
from the beginning puts you in the story as a reader and when you get to where
you hit a wall the ideas are flowing again.
15. Do
you read much, and if so who are your favorite Authors or genres?
Lately I haven’t been reading as
much as I’d like. I’ll get 2-3 pages in before my Nook hits me in the face
because I’m falling asleep. I love romance.
16. Is
there anything else you would like to add that I haven’t included?
Thank you to the readers and
bloggers who support me and other writers. There are some dark days where I
find myself wondering why I’m putting myself through all the extra stress and
then I’ll receive a message or review that shows me that people do care.
17. How
