What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Only Rogue Actions (Galactic Bonds Book 5)?
I love stories where the characters discover more about their magic, powers, or abilities. In Only Rogue Actions, my heroine and hero are trying to figure out all the nuances of the connection and magic they share, but they are soon targeted by a new villain.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I love reading all kinds of fantasy, romance, sci-fi, spy thrillers, mysteries, and graphic novels—just about anything!
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I’m currently reading Defending the Galaxy by Maria V. Snyder.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I always love writing action and fight scenes, and Only Rogue Actions has several of those!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I need complete silence to write. If I try to listen to music or anything else, I end up just tuning it out.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
One quote I love is "Never give up, never surrender!" from the movie Galaxy Quest. I feel like it applies to so many things in real life.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
I always hope my books take readers on an action-packed adventure with a little bit of everything, including magic, danger, and romance.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Bloody Banquet?
My mother was a huge movie buff, and for years the two of us used to watch all the old 1930s–50s mystery movies together. With that in mind, I wanted both of my mystery series to incorporate a solid whodunit, full of clues to follow along with, and plenty of humor.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of A Bloody Banquet, what would they be?
I’ve been trying to think of a good one. The two protagonists, Vivian and Preston, are at odds with each other while they solve some difficult crimes. I’ll keep thinking.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I love to read and write historical mysteries and romance, although I sometimes venture into other genres, such as fantasy and paranormal.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Too many to list! I do love re-reading some of the classics, like Agatha Christie, Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, and Charlotte Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I often struggle to find just the right beginning chapters for a new book, but in A Bloody Banquet, I flew through the first two action-packed chapters, and it was a lot of fun!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I am either writing on my computer in our small den with plenty of windows or on our deck overlooking a pond. I also require background music, ranging from classical to hard rock.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Follow your dreams...
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
I hope they remember that it was a fun ride with a surprising ending.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Thief of Echoes (Echoes of the Forgotten Book 1)?
I have always liked science fiction stories and movies. I wasn’t sure I would be creative enough to write fiction, but I decided to try it.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Thief of Echoes (Echoes of the Forgotten Book 1), what would they be?
I am a big music person, so I will give you a longer answer than you were expecting:
The Beatles
- “Nowhere Man” (1965) — dreamy and introspective; about feeling lost and undefined, searching for self and purpose.
- “Across the Universe” (1970) — ethereal and contemplative; floating through thought and memory.
- “Yesterday” (1965) — deeply nostalgic; grieving a past self or lost time.
The Eagles
- “Wasted Time” (1976) — regretful, reflective on lost years and searching for meaning.
- “Take It to the Limit” (1975) — pushing beyond fear, longing for something just out of reach.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Fiction: Dean Koontz, because he thinks outside the box; Brandon Sanderson; and Robert Jordan — so I guess a mixture of science fiction and fantasy.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I have been a big reader throughout my life, but I put that aside when I started writing.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
My favorite scenes are those where she is strong and overcomes her nemeses and internal insecurities.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
No quirks, I am fairly boring.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
If I want it enough, I can make it happen.
Creating beauty from brokenness.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That despite our imperfections and weaknesses, we can still make positive changes in our lives and in the lives of those around us, and find happiness.
