Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written three Novellas. Although they are published as a series they are stand alone stories.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The last book in the Honour, Love and Courage series is A Woman of Courage.
I decided to name the series Honour, Love and Courage because I feel that as women these are our greatest qualities.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not that I know of. I just sit at my computer and write. What I write might be garbage, but once I get the first words on the page I can always work and rework it until it resembles something worth reading
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Linda Howard
Julie Garwood
and most recently Carla Neggers
What are you working on now?
Right now I’m working on a contemporary romantic suspense entitled Sun Seeker.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Pretty – Hot. Com of courses.
LOL, seriously I haven’t got the hang of promotion. I’ll have to keep working on it.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep learning.
Start by telling yourself that you don’t know everything and have to learn what you don’t know.
That way you’ll leave yourself open to improving your craft.
Oh and always read your work aloud. You’d be amazed at the errors you find when you do that.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
As a writer – Don’t use the word ‘was’ with the ‘ing’ form of the verb. It distances the reader from the action.
Mark was swimming across the river
Mark swam across the river
As a person – Be true to yourself.
That’s advice to live by
What are you reading now?
Cold Pursuit by Carla Neggers
What’s next for you as a writer?
Complete Sun Seeker and try and get an agent.
What is your favorite book of all time?
I don’t have one. I just love good stories
