Thank you for the question and sorry for the delay. I've always enjoyed fantasy worlds which is why I was really inspired by the detailed way George R. R. Martin created A Song of Ice and Fire. I am not always so great with details in setting up a scene or building a world, so I look at the way he does world building as a reference. Francine rivers is someone who I love her story on how she transitioned from a romance author to a Christian Romance author. I love to dab Biblical elements into my work so I read alot of Christian romance and Biblical Fiction. Other authors I love are Tessa Afshar and Connilyn Cossette and Lynn Austin! Thank you for the question!(less)

Thanks for the question and Happy New Year! Just last month I finished the sequel to my duology, The Fortress, with Book 2, Awakening. In 2021, I am setting the framework for my next 3 book Fantasy series, The Prodigal Woman series. We will enter into a new Fantasy world, The Gourd, and focus on three lost and broken women as they try to steer their lives back on the right paths (and face plenty of opposition along the way!) I am aiming for release of book 1 in early 2022, but depending on how the year goes, I may do an early release of December 2021.
