Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Thank you so much for having me! I’ve recently published my first full-length romantic suspense, Warrior. It is the first book in the First to Fight series that consists of interrelated standalones about three friends who are Marines.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book, Warrior, was inspired by long distance relationships and second chances. I love a great alpha male!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have to have sweet tea on hand and one of my favorite t.v. shows on in the background if I’m not listening to one of my Spotify playlists.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
J.K. Rowling, I just want to be her when I grow up.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a paranormal romance that features a bear shifter. It will be released on November 15th along with 30 other shifter romances set in the same town–such a fun collabrative project! Following that is Survivor, the second book in the First to Fight series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My favorite place to hangout is my reader group on Facebook. They get to see snippets from my books and put up with my general randomness.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up. It’s hard and seems endless, but it’s important that you put your butt in the chair and get those words on the page.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Get the first draft out. It’s messy and probably a little bit ugly, but once you finish it gets so much easier.
What are you reading now?
I wish I had more time to read! The last thing I read was a non-fiction military book for research.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Completing the First to Fight Series and starting my next adventure! I have three more collabrative projects in 2016 and have already started plotting my next contemporary romance trilogy.
What is your favorite book of all time?
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
