If I'm really blocked--it doesn't happen often, because I give myself permission to make my first drafts really bad--I read instead. Usually something outside my genre so I don't get too jealous.

Creating your own universe and getting to live there rent-free.

Write because you love to write. Don't ever do it with the hope that you'll strike it rich. Try to avoid sounding desperate on social media. And keep your sense of humor about the whole process. If you believe the good reviews, you have to believe the bad ones too. Find people you trust to give you the honest truth, but also seek out the opinions of like-minded strangers.

There are five books in this series, and I'm about to record the audiobook of Book 3. I also just finished another edit of Book 5.

For me writing is the ultimate escape. When I'm writing regularly, my subconscious seems to work on it all the time, and I can't wait to sit down and write it all out.

This novel began as a dream that combined two news stories. In the first, forest rangers came upon a primitive tree house in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie Forest that had existed undetected for decades, though in this instance it housed a child pornographer. In the second, a woman mourning her dead husband wandered into the Olympic National Park with her dog to scatter her husband’s ashes and lost her way, both surviving on bugs and plants until they were found. My dream had me lost in the forest and finding a cabin with a gorgeous, silent man. I didn’t want it to end.
