Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t outline. I formulate everything in my head and then just pour it all out on the page.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There are too many authors and books to narrow them into just a few. I love to read; always have a book with me. My secret pleasure is reading vampire books.
What are you working on now?
A children’s book with my two young grandsons as my advisors.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have a publicist, and she guides me through the maze of never-ending promotional offers. We have experimented with many, but nothing jumps out as the best.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be honest with your readers. They will see through you if you aren’t. Make sure you have a great editor who will work with you on content as well as the nitpicky things.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Nothing is certain except change.
What are you reading now?
Snow Blood: A Vampire Mystery Thriller (Season 2) by Carol McKibben
What’s next for you as a writer?
A sequel to Wallflower, I think. Honestly, I have had the most bizarre life, and it makes for interesting reading. I couldn’t make some of this stuff up!
What is your favorite book of all time?
Too difficult to pin down. I love vampire books! Take your pick!
