I was inspired to write THE LIFE AND (MEDIEVAL) TIMES OF KIT SWEETLY after visiting a place similar to where Kit works in the story and realizing they still don't let anyone other then cis-men fight as knights. Not ok! Once I got writing, however, I drew deeply from my many years as a waitress at a themed restaurant, my love of medieval history/fun facts, and some of my own personal history.
My second book, LUCKY GIRL, was inspired by my deep fascination with lotto winners and my ongoing desire to win loads of money to pay off all my debt, take care of my extended family, and see the world. But the more I researched about the lotto, the more I realized it was a mixed blessing. In fact, in many cases, a huge influx of money makes people do really stupid stuff. But would you say no to millions? I'm not sure I could. But my main character, Jane Belleweather, just might.
