What inspired you to become an author?
I have always had a fascination for great stories
and when I discovered that I had a talent for writing it just kind of exploded
from there.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I like to think of my writing as funny sarcastic
with a slight edge. I tend to jump back and forth between first and third person.
Do you write in different genres?
No, I’m strictly a paranormal romance girl. Although
at some point I would like to try my hand and YA books.
How did you come up with the title for your latest
book?
Gypsy’s Dance title came from my heroine, Oralia.
Since it was her dancing that got her noticed it seemed only fitting that that
be the title of the book.
Do you title the book first or wait until after it’s
complete?
It depends on the story. Sometimes I have a title
before I have an idea for a book and some times that title doesn’t come until
I’m half way through the book.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?
I’m a sucker for happy endings and you’ll always get
with me.
Is the book, characters, or any scenes based on a
true life experience, someone you know, or events in your own life?
Some, although I have promised not to say who
they’re based on!
What books/authors have influenced your life?
I love Dean Koontz. I think he’s amazing and I own
almost every book he’s ever written.
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor?
Mr. Koontz, hands down.
What book are you reading now?
Rapture by Lauren Kate
What books are in your to read pile?
Too many to list! I have several near to 100 I
think. All paranormals.
What is your current “work in progress” or upcoming projects?
My current WIP is called The Breeders.
Can you share a little of your current work with us?
It’s about a race of people and can not procreate with
each other so they have to breed with humans and after the babies are born they
come back for them. And that, is where the drama begins
Is there anything you find particularly challenging
in your writing?
Writers block. It’s this pesky little things that
tends to rear it’s ugly had at the worst time possible.
Who is your favorite author and what is it that
really strikes you about their work?
Dean Koontz. I love the suspense and the suttle bit
of paranormal that he sometimes adds. I would love to be able to spend a day in
his mind.
Do you have to travel much to do research for your
books?
Not really. The internet it my friend.
Who designed the cover of your latest book?
The Gypsy’s Dance cover was done by me, my husband and an a very talented sketch artist.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Perseverance is key. Don’t give up. Only when the
things seem darkest are you really reaching for the light.
Do you have a song or playlist (book soundtrack) that
you think represents this book?
I don’t. Although, Shakira was my inspiration for
Oralia’s character.
