The
REAL questions…
Tell
us a little about yourself.
I’ve been writing since I was a young girl. I love to make new friends and especially like to hear from my readers.

What
comes first, plot or characters?
I usually dream up the characters first. The plot follows.

Pantser,
plotter, or hybrid? Tell us about your writing process.
My
writing process is not very organized. I find myself envisioning my hero and
heroine first and their story follows. After I know what they look like, I
figure out what they want and what is stopping them from getting it. Then I put
together their backstory and all the rest comes as I go along. Sometimes I know
the ending before the middles of the story. My muse works in strange ways.
Oddest
thing on your desk?
A picture of my father.

What’s
your most interesting writing quirk?
I write better with a cup of coffee in hand while I sit in front of the television.

What’s
your favorite thing about the genre you write in?
I write contemporary and paranormal romance. I love a story where a little magic helps the
couple along or an unsettled spirit shows up to add something mysterious to the
mix. A contemporary romance is something that can really happen in our lives.
Sometimes I draw on past experiences of mine or my friends to come up with a
conflict. I get some pretty good conflicts that way.
What
is the hardest thing about being an author?
I find deadlines difficult. I procrastinate until the last minute.

What
do you wish someone had asked you for an interview question?
Here’s your chance to get the soap box out! I wish you would have asked me who
my inspiration was. I’d tell you it was my father. He was a professional
magician. His love and guidance, along
with his zest for life and amazing imagination set me on a path towards
pursuing my dream.

Excerpt
for Savannah's Journey...
Sensing
what was coming next, she held her breath and waited. “Rob, I don’t…” As he
tangled his fingers into her hair, she gave a soft sigh. Rob’s advances tugged
at her heart, and she found it hard to resist. He captured her protest with his
lips. Savannah wanted this, she couldn’t deny it. Her strong physical
attraction to Rob overwhelmed her. Her mind kept coming up with numerous
reasons why she shouldn’t spend the night with him, but her body had a
different opinion and right now her body was winning.
