– STUFF ABOUT YOU
Q: Tell me
something you would like your readers (fans) to know about you.
A: I'm actually not very gregarious. I have a few really good friends, but I think
instead of being a socialite, I juxtapose social interaction into my writing
where my characters can do things I would be afraid to do in real life. For instance, I've never ridden in a limo in
my life. But in the current book, that's
the main ride for the lead characters.
Q: Bedtime,
relaxing so you can sleep sounds. Is your preference, white noise, TV, soft
music, ocean waves, forest or meadow sounds, babbling brook, or something else?
A: Noise at night bothers me so I read. I read manuscripts, books, magazines and so
on. Not for long, just enough to let
myself relax. Or inspire me to get up in
the middle of the night and write something.
Q: If your life
were a movie would it be considered an action film, comedy, drama, romance,
fantasy or a combination?
A: Oh my God, it would be a disaster film,
extended cut. Most people like to think
their lives are a mess, but mine actually has been a series of train
wrecks. From on the job injuries, to
natural disasters, to the never ending problem solving at work it just doesn't get any more action packed.
Q: Tell me one
thing that your spouse does that really endears him/her to you. One thing that
annoys you. These can be tiny little things, actually the smaller the better.
A: She loves me.
She loves me not. She loves me...
Q: Snack of
choice – chips, pretzels, popcorn, or cookies, cake, candy? Or maybe you’re a
healthy snacker - fruit, yogurt, nuts, raisins?
A: Ice cream.
Who doesn't scream for ice cream?
Though I do like key lime and lemon cream pie.
BOOKS
– ABOUT THE CRAFT
Q: When did you
start writing and why?
A: I started writing in high school. I took a class on creative writing and found
out I was good at it. Or so everyone
told me. My first stories were hand
written and about a page or a page and a half in length. No one wanted to read them. Which makes you wonder; if no one wanted to
read my stuff, how did they know it was good?
Q: Where do you
get your ideas?
A: Mostly from real life. I have interesting friends and some of my
business clients at the day job have interesting stories about things they've
seen and done. Not all of them, just
some. I also am not afraid to ask
strangers questions about stuff I get interested in. I just put all these things together with a
plot and a story emerges from the chaos.
Q: How did you
come to write your genre of choice?
A: I don't really have a writing genre. I write about many different areas and
aspects of fiction. I've written short
stories about all kinds of different things, romances, Sci-Fi, and others areas
of interest. The stories are in my
head, the characters exist in my mind.
Writing about them doesn't depend on a specific genre because the
characters tell the story, not me.
Q: What do you
think is the hardest part of writing a book?
A: Every story
is like a marathon race. There's a
starting line, a finish line and all the stuff in between. For me, sometimes at about the 2/3 to ¾ point
there's a spot where I have to go from where the story currently is running
along without a hitch to the beginning of the home stretch. Connecting those two things seamlessly can
often be difficult for me.
Q: Which
element of book writing is most difficult for you?
A: Editing. I'm horrible at it. When I read I don't see punctuation and I
often skip over spelling errors. I have
to have an editor. But here's the real
rub. A GOOD editor doesn't just check
your spelling and punctuation. A really
good editor helps with your story line and catches your mistakes so you can fix
them before you look like a fool with a manuscript.
Q: What is your
favorite part of writing?
A: The acceptance letter. It's a validation that what I've done is
worthwhile to someone else. That someone
else believes in me. You don't get much
better than that.
Q; Now your
least favorite part?
A: Sleepless nights. A lot of what I write is done in the middle
of the night because the Muses wake me up and won't let me roll over and go
back to sleep. Don't get me wrong,
sometimes those ladies are good company, but there are times when I just want
to sleep.
Q: How do you
handle a writer's block?
A: I write.
Usually what comes out is junk, but I get words into the computer. Usually I dump what's there but sometimes
there is something in all that garbage which is a nugget I can use to get
beyond the sticking point. And, it helps
clarify where I want to story to go from where it is.
BOOKS
- NOW LETS PROMOTE – STRUT YOUR STUFF
Q: What are you
working on now? Would you like to share anything about it?
A: Book #2 (A Shadow of Scarlet) is written and we're waiting to see if the
public likes this series before going ahead.
I've mostly got book #3 in this series written as well. Depending on readership there “might be” a
book #4 but if so, that's a couple of years away. Really it comes down to fans and sales.
Q: How can we
find you? Do you have a web page, FaceBook page or any buy links?
A: Yes, I do. Here are the links.

ONE LINER:
BDSM and kink. A
world Karen never knew existed. That is, until she becomes the ultimate
Mistress of The House of Scarlet.
SYNOPSIS:
Violet is a
submissive member of a secret BDSM club. The trouble begins when she petitions
her Mistress for permission to become pregnant and her wish is granted.
Overjoyed and day-dreaming about having a baby, she unintentionally reveals the
existence of the club to her best friend Karen.
Surprised by what
she learns, Karen struggles to deal with this new revelation about Violet.
After being attacked by a rogue member of the club, Karen empowers herself to
overcome her own internal conflicts and seize the reins of her destiny.
Along the way she
meets Callie who, as her sister says, is perfect. Except for her Lesbian side,
which she hides from everyone. Approached by the police to try to help identify
a murder victim, Callie’s tattoo parlor is burned to the ground. With her
dreams reduced to ash and nowhere left to turn, Callie fits her hand into
Karen’s.
