After a reading by a medium many years ago, there were some unanswered questions I had about my mother. The medium was insistent about some things that had happened to the women in my family that simply did not apply to me. I've always been curious ever since.
Hope you are well, thanks for writing!

No. I don't do horror.

Easy. I want to take the trip Liz Gilbert took to find herself in Eat, Pray, Love.

I am excited to read Educated and Circe! But check my Goodreads Challenge, I have everything listed there. :)

I wait for it to go away. I know that's not what Stephen King would say to do, but I have to be in a certain mood. I need to be brooding, emotional, way deep inside my own head. So I wait. Patiently. I always get there. And that's when the magic will happen. You can't force it.

Writing something that I genuinely enjoy reading, that I think others relate to, and realizing that it came from ME. It never gets old to revel in creating a good piece of original writing.

Write whatever the hell you want and stop worrying about whether or not people will like it.

An exciting piece of fiction about badass little girls in Brazil, the historic colonial herb trading routes between the Old and New Worlds, sprinkle in some really bad guys and some romantic chaos, and you've got my next novel. I'm pretty pumped!

I am not one of those writers who makes myself sit down and pound out a certain number of words per day. I don't make myself write everyday for an hour. I can't write like. The moodier I am, and the more emotional I am, the better the writing is going to be. A glass of wine and the right music helps a lot too.

Aprils and Decembers started out as a diary and after working in it over several years as I processed my divorce and my husbands death, I realized one day I had a memoir!
