I'm excited to announce my newest book will release on September 26, 2017. Do Bad Things is a sexy, steamy story about two people who come together a bit unconventionally but find a way to make it work. It's available for a special preorder price of $0.99. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074J6HWGT
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
All of my books present some struggle or conflict. It's important for me to have the characters overcome the main issue and have love win out.
How much of the book is realistic and are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
Do Bad Things, as with most of my books, is totally fictional. I like to provide an escape for my readers so they can get lost in my words. Sometimes I'll write about brothers because I have boys so I enjoy creating that bond. I also try to write realistic dialogue between the characters.
Who designed the covers?
Fantasia Frog Designs has created many of my covers. Lacey Wolfe has done a few of my recent ones.
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Writing has always been natural for me. The most challenging thing is finding the time to write all the stories inside my head.
When and why did you begin writing?
Writing is a part of who I am. I've been writing for as long as I can remember. The words, the plots and the characters always spoke to me. When I discovered the eBook industry about seven years ago, I decided to try my hand at publishing.
What book are you reading now?
I'm rereading Stephen King's It. I read it when I was in high school in the early nineties. I decided to read it again to get ready for the upcoming movie. The book still scares me!
