Tell my fans a little bit about
yourself and your books.
I write contemporary and
paranormal romances, with a mild to medium heat level. I believe in the healing
and therapeutic power of love. Many of my characters have been through dark
circumstances that have shaped or altered their views in a negative way. My
stories center on my characters finding their way back to happiness and love.
How would you introduce your
books to someone that has yet to read them?
My stories are like spices–some
are light, some are more intense, and all are unique.
What inspired you to start
writing? What age did you start?
I started writing poetry when I
was very young, inspired by a wild jackrabbit that sat under my chair one time
while camping.
What do you enjoy doing when
you’re not writing?
I love hiking, camping and
exploration. I’m also a photographer and belong to several local artists groups
and exhibit my photos at galleries throughout the year.
What advice would you give to an
aspiring author?
Find a writing group to attend
either in person or online. Don’t assume that a good story will get you where
you want to be, you have to learn about the business aspect of writing.
What’s your favorite scene/line
from your works?
“I’m sorry I threw up on your
boyfriend.” From a work-in-progress called “The Zookeeper”.
What's the hardest thing about
writing? The easiest?
The hardest thing are the time
constraints, but the easiest is the actual writing.
What are you currently reading?
“Reading the Signs” by Angela
Forister.
What are you currently working
on?
I’m working with an editor on a
contemporary book called “Steele and Stone”. I will announce the release date
as soon as I know.
What books did you read as a
child?
All of them.
How has your life changed since
you began writing?
It’s way more complicated! When
I have free time (as if?), it involves “work”. Plus, I’ve found that people
generally don’t think being an author is a valid profession unless you’re
someone they’ve heard of.
Do you listen to music while you
write?
No. But I have a constant
soundtrack in my head.
What's been your favorite moment
as an author?
It’s always when I’m writing
and the story takes on a life of its own, especially when the characters go places
I hadn’t planned on them going.
Out of all of your characters,
who is your favorite?
A safari guide named Johnathan
in a work-in-progress called “Under the Granite Lies”.
What do you want readers to take away from
your books
Hope! I want my readers to feel
uplifted and hopeful, not just about love, but about other subjects that some
of my books deal with.
You’re stranded on a desert
island. What books do you take with you?
A scrapbook of family photos, a
book on survival techniques and a sketchbook (and pencils).
What book(s) do you wish you
would have written?
I wish I’d already written all
the ones inside my head because it’s torture having them in there wanting to
get out. I’m doing it as fast as I can.
Favorite book character?
James Alexander Malcom MacKenzie
Fraser from” Outlander”.
What is your dream vacation
destination?
A photo safari in Kenya.
Do you have any interesting
dreams or goals?
I’d like to adopt an older
child someday.
Where do you see yourself in five
years?
I’ll have at least four or five
more books out by then, be plugging them, attending conferences, and perfecting
my craft. I look forward to all of the adventures!
If someone wrote a biography
about you, what do you think the title should be?
“Life as a Weirdness Magnet”

Borealis Ardor is a very fast read that starts off slightly confusing. I think it will be a good introduction to the paranormal romance series that will follow the events in the novella. There is a good amount of mystery in the novella along with some paranormal and romance aspects. I really liked the ending and am intrigued to find out more about the characters and our MCs returned memories along with the things her father does.
