Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.
I absolutely adore writing, even the editing! Gasp, I know shocking huh? Now to the fun stuff… I’ve been happily married for 32 years to my wonderful supporting hubby. Without his love and support I probably wouldn’t have made it this far. When we’re not touring the United States between our signings, you’ll find us in our other favorite spot… camping!
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
The first, by far!
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I keep things fresh by trying to visualize how I’d like to read it and by coming up unique twists and turns the readers don’t see coming. My pocket editor is great for helping in this particular area.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Take your time. It’s not a race. Take time for yourself, do the things you enjoy. And when it becomes too much, step back even if it’s only for 30 minutes. Remember our books don’t write themselves, contrary to some readers’ beliefs! We’re good, great even but the master has to be in peek performance to obtain greatness.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
I spend on the average 10 plus hours writing and editing.
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
Ethan. He’s in my first series. He’s special to me because even with all the lies he uncovers that his father has hidden from him he still manages to show his love for his family.
What is your definition of success?
Holding each one of my book babies in my hand. Even if no one liked them (which I pray never happens) the fact will always be that I busted my butt off and brought my story to life and the proof is in my hands.
