As an author, the thing I desire most from my work is for it to have a meaningful impact on its audience. First and foremost, my job is to entertain you through character driven stories that also have action-packed excitement, page turning suspense, and jaw dropping twists. But secondly, I want to stir you. No matter what genre my novels fall into, I promise you will emotionally connect to the people on the page. I write from my experiences, therefore when one of my characters takes an emotional journey it is a journey I also have taken. Their tears are my tears. So, when a fan tells me I helped them through a devastating personal loss because one of my characters went through that very loss, THAT is what I write for.
As far as my personal writing style goes, I write the way I think. I prefer authors who get to the point. I do not need 3 pages describing the tapestry on the wall when I am reading a book. While I pay careful attention to constructing well fleshed out characters and descriptive settings, I strive to maintain a fast-paced novel, unless otherwise dictated by the overarching storyline. Therefore, my writing style, (I’ve been told, and hope is true for everyone) connects you emotionally to the characters quickly and keeps a steady pace of action, humor, and emotion so that readers do not lose interest before the story is fully told.
