Why did you pursue writing?
Since I was a little girl poetry and short story writing was
always something I enjoyed. When I
wrote my first memoir and then my second it occurred to me that there was more
to it than a simple interest.
After typing the words ‘the end’ on my first romantic suspense, I was
hooked. Now I’ve written eleven
books in total and have loved every minute of it.
What inspired your book?
It began with simple journaling of the funny things my kids
would say to me or to my husband; I wrote them down so I would remember to tell
family members when they called or came over. It turned into a book after about two hundred of them.
How long have you been publishing your work?
Self-publishing was something I had to do after being
rejected by traditional publishers more times than I care to admit (don’t feel
bad, I have two works under contract now-to be published later this
year!). My first memoir was
published in 2010, four years after I began writing.
What’s your writing environment like?
My living room couch is where all the magic happens. A big bay window, a leather couch, a
laptop and a warm cat are my company each day when I write. Who wouldn’t be inspired?
What projects are you currently working on?
As far as works in progress, I have one that I just
completed; a thriller, and another thriller that is approximately halfway
finished. There is another
manuscript I can’t wait to start but in the meantime I’m doing research for it
while I finish my current project.
