What is one of your favorite things about writing?
I get to create characters and a story about them. I love plotting a story.
When you’re writing, who is more in control, you or your characters?
Usually me, but I love when the characters take over.
What do you like about writing series books?
I love connect stories and using characters from one book in another one.
Where do you find inspiration for your stories?
Anywhere and anyone—I never know where one will come from.
What usually comes first for you, characters or plot?
Usually the plot or what the story will revolve around.
Would you tell us about your latest release?
The blurb for Dangerous Pursuit, the first book in The Protectors Series:
Reading about danger never prepared Samantha Prince for the desperate phone call from her brother in Brazil that sent her from the safety of her New Orleans bookstore into the rugged, inhospitable Amazon in search of him and a hidden treasure. And reading about romance never prepared Samantha to resist the mysterious appeal of Brock Slader, a guide she hired to help her in her quest.
Alone with Brock in an alien world of orchids and anacondas, primitive headhunters and very up-to-date gunmen, she struggles to keep their relationship strictly business. Will Samantha survive the dangers in the jungle only to have her heart broken by a man who lives on the edge—no strings attached?
What are you working on now?
The third book in The Protectors Series—Dangerous Paradise. I’m hoping to have it up hopefully before this blog post goes up.
