Can you please share with us a little about yourself.

I’m a stay at home Mom. Wife. Volunteer within my community. Run a cattle farm, grow my own produce year round. A Jane of all Trades.

Have you always wanted to be an author?

No. The need to write my own stories happened about eight years ago. But I tolk some time off due to my dad’s death and couldn’t write for a long time. Now I’m back in the saddle and doing it pretty well.  I wanted to be a teacher and a Mom when I was a young girl.

Who are some of your favorite writers? Who do you feel has influenced your writing?

There are many…Cherry Adair, Jaci Burton, Sara Brookes, Suzanne Brockmann, Sandra Brown, Karen Robards, Nora Roberts. Probably the two biggest idols are Jaci Burton and Cherry Adair…they inspire me a lot.

How did you get into writing in this specific genre?  Have you ever thought about writing in a different genre?

I read more romantic suspense/contemporary romances. So I think that plays a huge part in why I write within the 2 genres. I have a paranormal ghost story, which still has a contemporary feel to it. And a trilogy that deals with witches and sensory gifts of the characters (which is taking a lot of research!!)/

I can’t see myself going beyond that. I like to write what I’m most familiar/comfortable with.

What are some of your writing rituals?

A pot of steeped tea, notepad and pen beside me, low lighting, bowl full of M&M peanuts and 3-4 bottles of water. And hopefully some quiet!

Can you please tell us about your latest book(s)?

I’ve had many releases the last couple of months–3 new releases within the “In the Arms of the Law” series, and a contemporary single title. TIED DOWN is a short story that revisits Isabella & Brady (from Illusions). Brady wants a commitment from Bella…he’ll do whatever it takes to get her to decide…one way or another.

How did you come with the idea for this story?

I wanted to revisit the characters. And knowing Brady as I do, I knew it wouldn’t be long before he was anxious to discuss the future with his woman. I had to laugh though at what he put Isabella through. For me, it was her getting some of the payback for being so stubborn when I wrote Illusions. Bella & I didn’t always get along!

Can you share with us your current work(s) in progress?

I have a WIP that is in the “almost ready” stage to be submitted to a publisher. It’s a Contemporary Ménage—a heroine who meets her two heroes and it has a twist in it that the heroes have to come to grips with.

What would you be if you were not an author?

I probably would have gone back to school to get my teaching degree. I might still be working for an online publisher, working with authors, doing critiques and such for authors. Then again, I would be just as happy to remain a stay at home Mom, and be available to my kids/schools.

What is in your To Read Pile that you are dying to start or upcoming release you can’t wait for?

Jaye Wells’ “Red-Headed Stepchild” is sitting on top of my TBR pile and I’m anxious to read it. I’m dying to read the series (Sabina Kane Series) and have waited til I’ve finished some other fave authors and got some writing in where I could read the whole series consecutively without pause.
