Thank you, Bernadette. I am thrilled you loved the books. I have a thought for JoJo, but not too much down yet. I am currently exploring another series, but I haven't ruled her out. Thank you again for reading my books.

Hey Lupe, TANK is exclusive to Amazon right now! Thanks for asking.

I’m so glad you enjoyed TANK. I hope to have the next book by the end of the year. No release date yet, but I will keep readers posted.

Most recently released was Wrapped Up In You. The idea... that's a tough one to recall exactly how the idea all formed. It stemmed from multiple places.
Many of my ideas start with reading a submission call. I read a submission call for a publisher wanting Christmas books. I ended up not going that route, however. But that call got the ideas rolling. I read a cute Christmas book, and that got more ideas rolling. I thought about the movie the Santa Claus and again even more ideas began to steamroll in, until eventually I had my own premise. It's fun, quirky, cute, and very lighthearted. The way Christmas books should be.

I've been writing for six years, so now it is apart of my daily routine. Inspiration comes from all sources. A conversation with a friend, something my children say or do, something I see, a place I visit. Literally, everything I do and everywhere I go now, in the back of my mind, I constantly think "How can this be applied to a story?" If you open yourself up to the things and the people around you, inspiration can strike at almost anytime.

I am currently finishing up two stories to be released this year. Tank and Love Comes In The Mourning. After that, I hope to finish another book this year!

Ignore the naysayers. There will be many. There will be those that look at you with almost pity in their eyes when you tell them you are a writer or an aspiring novelist. They may think you've lost your mind, gone all desperate housewife, or secretly they may even think you have nothing interesting to say to write a complete novel. Maybe you are a desperate housewife, and maybe you don't have anything interesting to say. Do it anyway. Learn, grow, and make them wipe their smirk off their face when you've completed that book!

The satisfaction of seeing a complete novel at the end of it all. From a beautiful cover, to title page, to the story inside. It's a true sense of accomplishment.

Ha! I clean. I rearrange my house. I buy something. Anytime I'm stumbling in my writing life, my whole household suffers. Sometimes my buying can be small, like a few picture frames to "dress up" an area of my home, or sometimes it can be BIG. Like my recent new couch purchase.
