INTERVIEW
Q: Your have written
quite a few different genres and your
characters vary widely. Where do you get
inspiration for a new story?
A: Every book is different. Sometimes
the characters start by whispering
something in my ear. Sometimes it might
start by something as simple as hearing
one word and the story just unfolds. I
have a very vivid imagination and
frequently the characters in my stories
will visit me in my dreams. If they need
to have their story written they make
sure they are heard over any other
voices in my head at the time.
Q: What are you doing when you
aren’t writing?
A: I have a job managing real estate
properties, and I freelance as a graphic
design artist using my marketing skills
for small businesses and writers. I also
have the normal responsibilities of most
mothers and wives, like taking care of
the household, but I don’t want to bore
you with my never ending chore list of
dishes or laundry. I love crafting and
artwork, but most of my creative energy
has gone into my writing lately.
Q: What is your writing day like?
A: Chaos. I’m serious. It’s absolute
chaos.
Other writers might tell you they have a
plan when they start. They set aside
time to write every day. They carefully
manufacture a synopsis and storyline.
They have structure. I have none of
that. I don’t have a routine. I don’t
have a schedule. Every moment I write is
stolen. I work and have very young
children that still require a lot of my
time, so I write when I can and where I
can. You might find me at karate
practice scribbling down notes in my
spiral notebook, or if I am really
desperate to finish a scene, hiding in
my closet, but a writer has to make time
to write to be a writer.
Q: If you could travel anywhere in
the world where would you go?
A: Currently I have this secret
fascination with vampires, so I would
love to see Dracula’s homeland and the
Carpathian Mountains. I want to make a
trip to Romania and visit the country
where people will still use a horse and
wagon to get where they need to go. It
seems every good vampire story can trace
its roots to Romania. I love to travel
and if I can call it research for my
next book—even better! On my writer’s
budget, I limit myself to the best
tourist guides I can find and the few
interviews I can find, but a girl can
dream, right?
Q: Can you tell us something about
yourself that not many other people
know?
A: You’re asking me to tell my secrets?
You understand that unlike the
characters I write about, I don’t bare
all. Okay, okay, just for you—I have an
addiction to coffee. Not just any
coffee, but the stuff they grow in
Hawaii, and I have it shipped to my
house every couple of months. I don’t
even have to add cream and sugar, it is
that good. It's a secret indulgence that
just makes me feel good every morning.
