edit data

I’m a self-published writer of stories set on worlds that live only in my mind. If you think it can’t happen, well, I do my best to prove you wrong. I mainly write romance because I like to take the most unlikely of couples (or trios) and give them a happily ever after. My characters quite often pick up the personalities of my family and friends – which can lead to the most interesting of conversations, believe me.

I live in the wilds of Northeast Oklahoma with Mija, a rescued hound of unknown mixed heritage, and a rose point Siamese named Kiko who delights in tormenting both Mija and me when we’d rather be relaxing or sleeping.

You can find me on Twitter (@writermnewman), Facebook, and Goodreads.

Popular Answered Questions

Mary: Several of my friends have trouble with confidence (I sometimes do too) in general. So I thought I'd ask a few writers this very straight forward, open question... What shakes your confidence? In the realm of writing, or otherwise. What tends to foster it? Thanks.

I do have a problem with confidence, especially in my writing, and one of the biggest causes is when I see a rating on one of my books that is a one or two star. This is especially true when there is no accompanying review, so I'm unsure if the book just wasn't to the reader's taste or if they disliked the book for my writing style, or whatever. Interestingly enough, what fosters confidence in my writing is when another writer praises my work. It's kind of like a professional stamp of approval. Yes, I love good reviews from my readers, and I do write for them, but it's just so nice to get that little vote of confidence from another writer.(less)

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

I think maybe my all time favorites for same sex couples are Skye and Dare from Alexa Land's "Skye Blue" and Declan and Quinn from Lynn Tyler's "Pack Mates". When I think of my favorites for an M/F couple, I'd have to choose one of my own books - "Love Unleashed" with Cleona and Marohi. I fell in love with them when I originally wrote them and keep bringing them back into other books in their related series for little spot lights.(less)
