Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am from the Midwest, and was an English teacher for 17 years. I am married and have one daughter. I have written one book, the first in a series of 3, titled Surrender. It is a small, town romance that will wrap you up like a warm hug.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is The Bungalow Series: Surrender. I was inspired to write this love story by my own life experiences. I am seven years my husband's senior, and with that comes some scrutiny. But like our life together, Surrender ends with an HEA.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I cannot write without having my favorite slippers on, even in the middle of the summer. Thank goodness they are machine washable!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I taught middle school English for several years, so I often read the most popular YA novels to stay current with my students. Stephenie Meyers and the Twilight Saga had a big influence on my writing, along with Syliva Day, Julia Alvarez, and EL James. It's a strange mix, but true.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on book two of The Bungalow Series, Found.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Social media and a healthy email list from my website has helped promote my writing and of course PRETTY-HOT.COM!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don't give up; don't stop writing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don't give up; don't stop writing.
What are you reading now?
I am currently reading It End With Us by Colleen Hoover. She's brilliant.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope Found finds success, and that I can continue to build my readership.
What is your favorite book of all time?
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
