Do something boring and your mind will wander, and wandering minds is where daydreams happen. Spring clean a room or weed a flower bed, and ideas will start popping up.

I just really enjoy day dreaming and making things up. Inspiration is everywhere- just let your imagination run wild!

I'm currently working on the fourth book in the Coulter Men series. It's in edits with the publisher. I'm also working on a new contemporary romance, Hoosier Daddy. It's a story about a single dad looking for a mom for his kids. And there are a few other seedling stories in the works.

Never give up. The only thing that seperates you from the published author is time and dedication. It's not an easy job, but if you keep at it, you'll get it. To learn- read, read, and read some more. Read good books and bad books. Read books on craft. Read blogs. Meet other writers online, and get support because it's a long journey and friends make it easier.

Readers. The stories were mine and I enjoyed writing them, but once published, they belong to the reader. Hearing characters I created get love (and sometimes loathing!) from readers is like the ultimate high point.

The next book, which is scheduled for release early 2015, came to me while relaxing on the beach. I was trying to think of something to write for the fourth Coulter Men story. I doodled a little heart in the sand. Then I thought- Jo, the heroine, would not be a hearts in the sand sort of girl. Then the spunky little genius girl started speaking to me.
