Author of Safe, Blood Matters and a few more.
I am many things; a writer, a mother, a wife, a dachshund lover, a sister, a daughter, a friend, an author. There isn’t anything on this list I could say I love more or that gives me more joy than the rest. I will fight to the death for my family, as I would fight to the end to give my books their best chance, as I will do everything in my power to provide my dogs the best care, as I have dropped everything to comfort a friend or help out my sister, mother or children (and I'd do it again).
Just as I write rich and engaging stories full of dynamic characters and fascinating ideas and places, I am as equally diverse: filled with a life of amazing and strange adventures.
Though I consider myself a ...more

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Usually if I can’t write something it’s because there is something wrong with it. Something I need to work out. My mind — and I’m not always conscious of this part — is good at working through the problem to a fix if I just give it the time it needs.
I find if I back off and give the problem space to breath. My mind will do what it is so good at doing and suddenly it’s like “light bulb” of course X has to happen and then Y and of course after that Z…
Meanwhile, as I let the process work itself out I’m catching up on a show or the housework or reading I desperately needed to get done, or spending time with my family (or not and getting together with a friend) and sometimes I just let it go and pick up a different project.(less)

Write About What You Know

Arguably that is one of the hardest concepts for me to understand. Probably because I wasn't thinking about it the right way. You see, being a fiction writer, I wasn't sure how I could write about ghosts, super powers, other worlds and especially about vampires. I haven't had a lot of experience with any of those things. I haven't done a lot of research either. My knowledge of these things is limi Read more of this blog post »

Ok, so here it is ~ the bottom line truth about me: I ma dyslexic... Yup I ma a dyslexic author :( So, reading was always a challenge for me. If the story isn't good RIGHT AWAY I won't continue, it feels like a waste of my time.
I am also ADHD. I call it my super power, but sometimes it is my worst enemy too.
That is it - the long and short of it.
