Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a contemporary romance author who used to publish a lot of non-fiction essays before diving into romance. I’ve just completed my first romance novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Survival of the Fiercest is my debut romance novel. It was inspired by the hell that my friends and I go through dating in New York City.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
When I’m writing romance, I leave the sex scenes for last. I know what type of sex scene I want and I make a note in the manuscript. Once the story is in place, I go back and spend a lot of time shaping the sex scene.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Judy Blume’s Wifey was my first adult novel. It will stay with me forever.
What are you working on now?
I felt that one of the characters in Survival deserved a story, so I am currently giving them a full length piece.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Promotional sites like these, that have an audience and an appetite for a certain genre, are key. I like to make sure I am reaching out to people that I think would really enjoy my work.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Celebrate yourself. You finished a book!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t compare yourself or your experience to others. You are unique, and so is your experience.
What are you reading now?
I’m immersed in the Wallbanger series by Alice Clayton right now. Or should I say the cocktail series? I like to say wallbanger, it rolls off the tongue.
What’s next for you as a writer?
More writing, more publishing, then more writing. Hopefully my audience will be reading.
What is your favorite book of all time?
Its sort of a tie between The Color of Water by James McBride and The Brides of Madison County by Robert James Waller. Both are so powerful.
