Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in Kentucky with my spunky two-year-old daughter and doting husband. I’m pregnant with our second child as of now. When I’m not spending time with them, I’m sneaking off to write or read. I thrive off of interacting with my readers and getting to know them! I’ve written a few but published two so far!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Monachopsis.
It was inspired by the actual meaning of that word, that subtle feeling of being alone. I paired it with a shifter romance where my main character’s fated mate rejects her for her youngest sister. Then, she meets her second-chance fated mate and the story just fits the word Monachopsis perfectly.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I listen to music when I outline the book but when it comes to writing it, I need total silence.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Last Christmas by Kate Brian influenced me when I was just in middle school. It made me fall in love with reading and then when I read the Twilight series (I know, I know), I thought, wow, I could make stories like that too and be in control. Now here I am!
What are you working on now?
A three-book series. Violet Ridge Series coming in 2020. I’ll say one thing. The first book is a second-chance romance and all three books are based in the same town but are standalones.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook because I love interacting with my readers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing. Don’t get discouraged and pump those books out!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write and give your characters life. Don’t be tied down by how you think other people will react.
What are you reading now?
I just finished reading Hades Academy. Definitely recommend!
What’s next for you as a writer?
Publish my Violet Ridge Series in 2020!
What is your favorite book of all time?
