Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am fairly new to publishing my books, but have been a writer and story teller for as long as I can remember. I currently have 2 books on the market with the 3rd ready for release December 1st.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Billionaire Branson Brothers: Raylan is my latest book, Of course I am hopeless romantic and believe everyone can find the love of their lives if the timing is right. My current books are inspired by family vacations to Branson, MO and the surrounding areas. They are full of wonderful people and gorgeous surroundings, the perfect stage for true love!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not so unusual but I still write my notes and story ideas in a composition book and then develop them further on my computer. I love flipping the pages of notes back and forth. My mind works forwards, backwards, and sideways sometimes; so a hot mess of a notebook works for me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have always loved reading all genres of books and the inspirations are endless. My first series I devoured was the Nancy Drew series in 3rd grade, then I venture into a horror phase (John Saul’s books), then the classic romance writers: Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts. I also loves thrillers. There are maybe 3 books (EVER) that I haven’t finished reading.
What are you working on now?
I just finished The Billionaire Branson Brothers: Luke and am about half way through The Billionaire Branson Brothers: Jesse. I am so happy with the way these books are coming together that I am mad at myself that there’s only 4 brothers (or is there?).
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Right now, my website www.leximasters.com is basic. I am not focussing on it, more of my writing, but readers can join my newsletter via the website and I am really great at communicating with my fans through email. Amazon is probably the easiest way for readers to follow me.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Find a kind, understanding support system. There are a lot of baby steps on the path to becoming a published author. These steps are so big for us authors. Make sure you find a core group that will celebrate these little successes with you!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“You can’t start a new chapter if you keep rereading the last one.”
“Whether you believe you can or you can’t your right.”
“And think not you think you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.”
What are you reading now?
You Were There Too by Colleen Oakley
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am really enjoying the Small Town Romance genre. After the Branson Brothers I have 2 other small town collections to develop.
What is your favorite book of all time?
It may sound crazy but absolute FAVORITE book is The Lenape Indians of New Jersey. It’s an old, old book about an English boy who is shipwrecked and taken in by the Native Americans. He learns the ways of life. I love it because it was completely outside of anything I knew or could imagine.
