Interview with Beauty In Ruins
"I don't write for weak minds, weak hearts, or weak stomachs..."
I recently had a great interview over at BEAUTY IN RUINS with Bob Milne who hit me with some fantastic questions. We discussed Husk's journey, the writing craft, and what will be happening down the road. When you get a chance, drop by and see how it all went!

Nancy wrote: "Thanks for the add and for answering my question! I loved Bait and hope you're hard at work on Husk. Another horror/thriller?"You're very welcome, Nancy! So glad you enjoyed Bait, and tremendous thanks for the killer review. The novel is still trying to find its audience, and your recommendation of it was awesome.
HUSK is a gritty thriller about the future of prostitution, due out in March 2015. Can't wait for publication date!
Thanks for the add and for answering my question! I loved Bait and hope you're hard at work on Husk. Another horror/thriller?
Denise wrote: "I can't wait to read more of your books! Anything on the horizon?"Yes, definitely! I'm currently working on my second novel HUSK which will hopefully be out within the next year.
I can't wait to read more of your books! Anything on the horizon?
