Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi!
I am a Montessori teacher who has traveled in lived in Asia for tighter years of her life. I enjoy writing novels, shorts, and poetry. I also enjoy binging on Netflix and Hulu, especially the HandMaid’s Tale!
I love YA, Dystopia, and SyFy, and I write in that genre. However, I also love watching movies of old British Classics like Jane Austen, and I love period pieces and true stories.
I am pretty adventurous, and have jumped off cliffs into waterfalls, traveled around the world backpacking and sight seeing as well as getting to know the local cultures.
I am a vegetarian and a Socialist Democrat. Is that a bad word in this country? 😉
I hope you enjoy my ENTER TOMORROW brand of books which focus on robots, simulations, consciousness, nature, wildlife, grafting, cloning, time travel, future tech, and more.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
ANIMAL GRAPH was inspired by a dream, literally. The characters are grafted with animal cells and neural tissues which then form a Graph allowing them to see into the minds of their Graphed animals. The story is set forty-two years after a nuclear war when the country is ruled by a mad dictator who hunts his prisoners in the rainforests of the Amazon.
The setting is primarily the Amazon, but we also get to see highlands, Venezuela, Guyana, Macapa and we also get to see through the eyes of some animals.
Enjoy the ride!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love to write here I am comfortable and so that means, in my room, on my bed, with few disturbances. I especially like a cup of tea.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Jane Austen is my favorite, but my writing is SyFy and Dystopia. I love Star Wars, and I also liked Hunger Games and Divergent.
What are you working on now?
I am finishing up the six book Animal Graph series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?

Do you have any advice for new authors?
I believe writers should write what they love, not just what they know. That is what an imagination is for.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Gosh, I haven’t really been given advice directly, but I have read that one should write what they are passionate about because in the end a case can be made for and against every book. So, write what you want.
What are you reading now?
I just finished Collide, and I read on Kindle Unlimited. My guilty pleasure. I also just finished The HandMaid’s Tale, reading it while I was watching it on Hulu to find differences.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I will be writing ELECTRIC GARDENS. A YA Artificial Intelligence Dystopia.
What is your favorite book of all time?
Pride and Prejudice.
