Where do you find inspiration for your stories?
Writing has been in my blood and soul forever. For as long as I can remember I’ve always been an avid reader and a writer. When I was a child I used to make up my own stories and share them with my family and friends. As I got older I continued to write. When I went to college I started getting more information on actually writing professionally. I joined some writing organization and started to learn my craft.
I’m inspired from everything around me. It can be doing something as simple as taking a walk and something I see sparks and idea.
Would you tell us about your latest release?
Perfect Fit (Singleton, Book # 2) will be released on November 8, 2013 by Total-E-Bound. This book is about a married couple who still loves each other but something has shattered their relationship. It starts when Regina – my heroine – came home and finds divorce papers waiting for her from her husband Spencer – my hero. She is devastated but not leaving it at this. She has known her husband since she was a teenager and knew he was her’s and she was not letting him go. When she goes to confront him she loses hope that they can go back or rebuild what they lost. Spencer loves his wife but sometimes love is not enough. Silence has killed their marriage and he needs for them to talk though things so they can reclaim their ‘us’ but that us easier said than done. The couple has things that they have to work through to become the Perfect Fit again.

Regina put down her cup and stood. She strolled towards him, moving with an innate rhythm he’d always found so intoxicating. She stepped into him, pressing close. Automatically, he placed his hands on her hips.
“Had a nice sleep, Spencer.”
Although it wasn’t a question, he answered. “Yes.” He cleared his throat. “It was very restful.”
“I bet.” She studied him, then smiled. “After the show you had.”
Spencer flushed with need. “You knew I was there,” he accused.
“Yes.” Regina straightened his tie. “You said no sex, but nothing about seduction.” She patted his chest. “I like that. I’m good at it.” She rocked against him.
Spencer groaned as she moved on his erection. “Behave, Reggie.”
“You forgot ‘mis’. I’m going to behave, all right. Misbehave. I want you back in my life all the way. Not this partial way with all these rules.” Regina moved her hips again and placed her face close to his, whispering almost on his lips, “Holding out for some belief of being comfortable together is a moot point. I’ve been comfortable with you from the time we met. And even if you deny it, so have you.” She placed her palm flat on his chest, over his heart. “I know your heart and soul. And most assuredly, your body. I know what makes you shiver.”
Spencer shivered.
“What makes you groan just so.” She widened her legs and rotated.
Spencer groaned, shaking.
“And that you belong to me.” Regina grabbed his hair holding him still, her green gaze fierce. “Mine, Spence.”
She slid her hand into his hair, held him firmly and kissed him. Spencer opened wide, moaning. Regina pushed her tongue into his mouth, moving along his, stroking. Spencer gripped her hips, cupping her ass and pulling her against him. He returned her kiss with equal hunger, grunting as she rocked against him. Spencer shuddered, about ready to come in his pants. Regina wrenched away, pulling out of his hold and he stepped forward to get her back.
“Whoa, there.” She put her hand on his chest. “I made my first move. Now it’s your turn to decide what you truly want.” She stepped back, grabbed her purse and briefcase off the stool from by the kitchen island then headed past him. She touched his ass as she did, then said by his ear, “I’m looking forward to our pillow buying excursion.”
Regina chuckled as she left the room. In moments, he heard the front door close. Spencer went to the island and sat, putting his hand on the counter, then under his chin. He slumped forward.
“Damn. I really am screwed.” Spencer rubbed his hands over his eyes then lowered it as he thought of her parting words. The pillow shopping was going to be hell. Not the buying, but what came with it after.
“So screwed.” Spencer rose and went to the door to go to work.

Do you have any particular writing habits? (Listening to music, best time of day to write, etc.)
Music is always playing as I write. I have playlists that are used based on the mood I am in the book. I write during the weekdays a certain word count each day. I make sure to hit that count before I stop. Most days I go over the word count I set. My writing might be broken by random moments of me dancing when I get a scene how I want it. LOL. Earlier this year I decided to take weekends off so I chill on weekend and let my mind fill with what I have coming to write.
What is your favorite comfort food?
I’d have to say Jello. LOL. My friends know that give me some Jello with a little whip cream on top and I am a happy woman. LOL.
