A horror story for me would be a knock a door, opening it and seeing a police officer standing there. I can't imagine him telling me someone in my family was killed!

Surviving raising four sons! I intend to write a series of a mother raising four sons. The ups and downs of four boys raised in the same house with such different perspectives and goals in life. You have to know that there is no rest for anyone living in a house like mine. For a woman who only wanted frilly feminine girls, I ended up with fast cars, sweat socks and a lot of trouble.

Jamie and Claire from the Outland Series will always be my most favourite couple. These two characters are so raw and beautiful with their strengthens and faults, you can't help but fall in love with them.. The characters are so well written you truly believe you have lived their love story. Jamie is the only man I would even think about leaving my husband for. LOL only kidding!

Dear Angela, Thank you for your question. I love the cover of the book and I really want to get people's attention. Out of the thousands of pictures I looked at this one spoke to me. I had to do modifications because it was way too sexy, she didn't have under wear. My characters deal with some heavy issues but they also deal with intimacy issues. Becoming comfortable in their own skin is essential to the story. The cover represents the playfullness and the freedom they worked for. It is sexy and it meant to be. They had to overcome a lot to get to the image on the cover. I am really proud of these characters and I really hope you read it.

I get to finally to think like a man! Or how woman would have men think!

If I could've you any advice, it would be to understand writing is the easy part. Producing and marketing is the hard part. Realize it isn't going to happen over night. You are a grain of sand in a beach. There are millions of books out there. So write what you feel passionate about. And most importantly find good editors. I love mine. Research, find people well-versed in your genre. C&D are by far the most professional people I have ever met and I couldn't have done it without them.

I was working on book two but my characters in book three would not allow me to sleep until I told their story. So book three is now becoming two and two is becoming three. But let me tell you the characters in three are not happy about half of their story being half written. I left them at a critical point and they way on my conscious.

I have spent my life wondering what it would be like to live other peoples lives. I love to watch couples and wonder how they met. What challenges they have had to overcome. What a certain look means. Are they happy, sad, afraid, hurt or in love. My characters allow me do that. I get to feel and react to situations I would otherwise never get to experience in my life. In a nutshell I people watch to get inspired.

Have you ever wondered why you are so lucky? Then you wake up to find it all gone. Well I have wondered how would I ever survive if I lost my reason for living. So I gave my fear a name and told her story!
