What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Public Speaking: Unlock the Power of Your Voice?

I’ve always been a voracious reader, but with a demanding career, I never had time to write or publish a book. Now that I’m retired, I finally have the time to pursue this passion. The idea for Public Speaking: The Power of Your Voice came from our combined backgrounds—one in theater and the other in corporate communications. We saw how stage presence and messaging could make or break a speaker’s impact, and we wanted to create a practical, engaging guide to help people communicate with confidence. This book blends storytelling, humor, and real-world strategies to make public speaking less intimidating and more accessible.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Public Speaking: Unlock the Power of Your Voice, what would they be?

If I had to pick theme songs for the ‘main character’ of Public Speaking: The Power of Your Voice—which is really the reader stepping up to speak with confidence—I’d go with two iconic Queen songs: 'Don’t Stop Me Now' – This song perfectly captures the energy and momentum of someone who’s found their voice and is owning the stage with enthusiasm. It’s all about unstoppable confidence. 'We Will Rock You' – Public speaking is about engaging an audience and making an impact, and this song’s rhythm and power reflect the kind of commanding presence a great speaker can have. Both songs embody the excitement, energy, and self-assurance that come with mastering public speaking!

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I read many different genres, but when I pick up a book, I’m usually looking for an escape from reality. I love fiction—especially mysteries, thrillers, and action-packed stories that keep me on the edge of my seat. There’s something about the suspense and the twists that make for an exciting read.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

I’m always looking to learn something new, so my TBR pile is constantly growing. Right now, I’m focused on books about website design, social media marketing, and the use of AI. These areas are evolving rapidly, and as an author, understanding them is key to reaching a wider audience and staying ahead of the curve. I still love a good thriller or mystery when I want to unwind, but lately, I’ve been diving into books that help me sharpen my skills and adapt to the ever-changing digital landscape.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Our favorite parts to write were the sections on stage fright and audience engagement. One of the things we wanted to do with this book was make public speaking feel approachable, even for those who are terrified of it. Writing this section allowed us to blend practical advice with humor and storytelling, which really reflects the book’s overall style.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I wouldn’t say I have any quirky writing habits, but I do have a persistent Maine Coon who insists on joining me whenever I sit down to work. He seems to think he’s part of the writing process! Most of my writing happens at my partner’s house, where we collaborate at the dining room table. It’s where we bounce ideas off each other, refine our concepts, and bring the book to life. Having that dedicated space (and a very opinionated cat) makes the process more fun.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

My motto is simple: enjoy what you’re doing and don’t put things off. Life is unpredictable, and you never know how much time you or your loved ones have, so it’s important to savor every moment. That mindset is what pushed us to finally put together this book—our first. I had thought about it for years, finally decided to go for it, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

If there’s one thing I want readers to remember, it’s that public speaking doesn’t have to be scary—it can actually be fun. Engaging with an audience is an opportunity, not just a challenge. With the right mindset and techniques, anyone can turn nervous energy into confidence and even enjoy the experience. Speaking isn’t about perfection; it’s about connection, and that’s something anyone can learn.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write North Country?

North Country is a stand alone womens fiction/speculative fiction novel that follows four women on an adventurous mission to the isolated North Country. It exists in the same universe as my adult series, Pirates of New Earth and has characters that series readers will recognize. I have always known that my protagonist, Kat Wallace, needed to return to the land of her birth to settle some old scores. I also wanted to deal with the issue of chronic illness that affects so many people and I wanted to put together two women who have very different ideas about friendship and loyalty. The inspiration for this book comes from the same place as all my other inspiration: seeing how women cope with trauma and how they work through the issues and relationships that challenge them.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of North Country, what would they be?

Kat: "Girl from the North Country" by Bob Dylan

Carisa: "It's Not Over Yet" by King & Country

Diamond: "Pocketful of Gold" by American Authors

Flossie: "Real Friends" by Camila Cabello

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Oh, I can't pick a favorite because I love many books across many genres. Cozy mysteries, action, adventure, romance, fantasy, and of course speculative fiction.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

So many, the ones I can see from where I am writing include: Grey Wolf by Louise Penny, Broken Sky by M.K. Osmun, and The Road of Bones by Demi Winters.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

I loved the Carisa/sky goddess scene. It was fun to write and so empowering for the character.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

My publishing imprint is Sooner Started Press from one of my favorite expressions: Sooner started, sooner done.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

That we all have strengths and we all can both rise to an occasion and change to meet it if we wish.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Nest of Thieves?

My latest novel, NEST OF THIEVES, is a bucket list item. I’ve always loved crime and thrillers and romance. Mashing them up into one novel has been a dream of mine for a long time—and I’m really happy with the result. It isn’t often that I start a book with an idea of how I want it to come out, and then actually hit that target. I feel like I’ve done that with NEST OF THIEVES.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Nest of Thieves, what would they be?

Conor Monroe's song is "Dog Eat Dog" by ACDC.

Joe Cracker Jones' song is "The Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

It's hard for me to say what my favorite genre to read is. It depends, kind of like music. I listen to every kind of music, depending on how I'm feeling. The same goes for my reading habits. But I do have a few things that are non-negotiable. It has to be fiction. The stakes need to be high. The characters need to drive the narrative. And the plot has to continuously surprise me. These elements would seem to point toward thrillers, but I've read novels in every genre with these elements. In terms of my favorite genre to write, I don't write to genre, I just want to write stories with relatable characters facing a world that's been tipped upside down. If there are elements of different genres in my novels, that makes sense to me because our world is made up of those elements. Romance, thrills, adventure, horror—these are all things that are defined as genres, but aren’t they really just different parts of everyday life? In the end I think my novels have traits associated with thrillers, romance, and adventure genres, so I guess you could say those are my genres.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

I just picked up two books from the library today! The Haters by Robyn Harding is about a woman who just published her first novel. Of course, she's excited beyond belief. But then an online troll targets her. And things start to go off the rails from there. I'm looking forward to diving into it. The other book is Quarry's Return by Max Allan Collins. Seems like it's an old-school pulp noir novel about a hitman who goes on a search-and-destroy mission when his daughter is kidnapped. It should be entertaining. It usually takes me one or two chapters before I know if I'll finish a novel, so fingers crossed on these two.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The fight between Conor and Cracker, hands down. It was the culmination of so many events in the story that it felt like it wrote itself. And so much was at stake for Conor emotionally and physically that the process of writing the fight scene was a cathartic experience. I was exhausted when I finished, but in a good way.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Nothing I'd term quirky. I do things I've learned over the years. I usually read through and edit what I wrote the day before to get back in the rhythm of the story and into the characters’ heads. I also usually end a day of writing by stopping in the middle of a scene. This allows me to jump right in and write, rather than spending any time mulling things over. Once I start writing, I can often just run with the story rather than spending precious time thinking what needs to happen next.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

I'm the kind of person who thinks that no matter what you're doing, do the best job you can. That way of thinking helps no matter what you do.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

Hmmm. I guess they should finish with the understanding that bad things will always happen. You may even feel like you have a target on your back. And that's when you need to, as they say, be calm and carry on. It's the only thing anyone can ever do.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The One Who's Too Perfect (Lizzie Finds the One Book 2)?

This book was kind of personal, but not in a tell-all memoir kind of way. I’ve never fake-dated the first-round NFL draft pick—which honestly feels like an oversight on my part. There were many reasons why things didn’t work out with the guys I dated. Some of those reasons were the men. There were some real head-scratchers in there. But if we’re being honest, a lot of those reasons were me. I was too picky, overanalytical, too why does he breathe like that? I did date a guy who was perfect. And I mean like my friends still bring him up as if he’s some rare unicorn that got away perfect. But I just couldn’t see it at the time. If we’d been ten years older, if I’d had my act together, if Mercury had been in retrograde—who knows? So, I took all of the missed chances, the bad decisions, the how did I not realize this guy was The One moments and let them inspire me for this book that fits so well in my series Lizzy Finds the One. The series is a love letter to messy relationships, bad timing, and figuring things out way too late…but with more fake dating, more jumping off waterfalls, and more shirtless men. And no confirmed crying in my car.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The One Who's Too Perfect (Lizzie Finds the One Book 2), what would they be?

Lizzy Sheridan’s theme song? ‘Oops!... I Did It Again’ by Britney Spears because "I played with your heart, got lost in the game" is her official tagline.

James’ theme song is ‘Industry Baby’ by Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow. Because if there’s one thing James Thorley excels at—besides throwing a football, flashing a perfect, PR-friendly smile, and making every grandma in America adore him—it’s reminding you that he’s already won before you even realized there was a competition.

Rhys Cameron--easy. His theme song is ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ by James Arthur. Cue eye roll. Cue dramatic sip of bourbon. Because underneath that ‘I don’t do feelings’ act, Rhys is exactly the type to love someone quietly, fiercely, and in ways that actually matter.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Picking a favorite genre is like picking a favorite food. Or a favorite dog breed. Sure, I could say panang curry or English bulldogs, but that feels unfair to tacos and to my two mutts, whose sole purpose in life seems to be having absolutely no purpose. I’m equal opportunity when it comes to books. I literally enjoy reading everything. Like, I just finished the MindF*ck series by S.T. Abby. Those books are a twisty, turny, murderous, romantic ride. I honestly needed to check my moral compass after finishing them. Then I swung wildly in the other direction and picked up Good Energy by Casey Means, because I like to balance fictional murder sprees with optimizing my mitochondria. And then I just started We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker, because why not emotionally devastate myself now? As for writing? I love writing rom-coms because love is hard, life is weird, and people are disasters, and I find that deeply relatable. But if my next novel is a serial killer romance that I wrote while chugging a green smoothie and ugly-crying, don’t be surprised.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Right now, my TBR pile is judging me. Staring at me. Threatening to collapse and crush me in my sleep. At the top? Every Last Secret by A.R. Torre. Because who doesn’t love some psychological torture? I mean, in books. Not in life. Just to clarify. Then there’s James by Percival Everett, which—I don’t know how I know this—but I just know it’s going to change me on the inside. Like, deep in my bones. In ways I can’t explain yet but will absolutely text my friends about at 2 AM when I have an existential crisis over a single beautifully crafted sentence.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

My favorite part of the book to write was the not-so-happily-ever-after, followed by the happily-ever-after, which was then immediately topped off with the is-this-actually-a-happily-ever-after? moment. Life is not a straight line. It’s more of a chaotic zig-zag with an occasional accidental backflip into traffic. And I love writing those moments where you think you’ve reached the happy ending, only to have life go, ‘Ha! No. Try again.’ Like, the second my characters start to breathe easy, I throw something deeply inconvenient at them. A miscommunication. A weirdly timed ex-boyfriend sighting. A bird flying directly into someone’s face. Something real. (And I want to throw in a spoiler alert by saying that wasn’t a spoiler…because there is a full stop happily ever after in there. Or is there? No, just kidding. There is.)

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I’ll randomly say words out loud as I’m typing, just to hear how they sound. Like, I’ll be deep in a scene, typing away, and suddenly— “bilious.” Or “dank.” Or, “moist.” And do these words fit in my book? No. Absolutely not. But will I force them in somewhere? You bet. Probably in some viscous, completely unnecessary description of soup. And then I’ll sit there, thinking, Is this too much? Has anyone ever actually described soup as viscous? Will my editor stage an intervention? But by then, I’m already emotionally attached, so it stays. So, that’s my process. Chaos, strange vocabulary choices, and a commitment to making soup sound deeply unsettling.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Technically, my motto is ‘Do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.’ But let’s be real—sometimes even the things you love feel like a lot. Like, I love writing. But have you ever stared at a blank document for three hours, typed six words, deleted five, and then wondered whether snail farming was a viable job? Because I have. So, I guess my real motto is: “Do what you love, but also accept that sometimes even your dream job will make you want to fling your laptop into the ocean. That’s normal. Just drink some coffee, kiss your mutt, and try again.”

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

Expect things you thought would never happen to happen in real life… because you’ll never know when you’ll get randomly selected for a TSA pat-down and the security officer has to tell you, ‘Miss, just the belt.’ That’s exactly the kind of moment I want people to take from my books—that life is unpredictable, embarrassing, hilarious, and sometimes just deeply unfair. Like, one minute you’re confidently strutting through the airport, and the next, you’re standing there—arms out, shoes off, being gently but firmly reminded you didn’t have to take your pants off. So, if there’s one thing I want readers to remember, it’s this: you never know what ridiculous, impossible, slightly mortifying moment life is about to throw at you—so just roll with it, laugh when you can, and wear pretty underwear.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Whispers of the Selkie (The Enchanted Heritage Trilogy Book 1)?

Well, it all started with my love for Irish and Scottish folklore—blame author Karen Moning for that obsession. But while werewolves and vampires are out there hogging the limelight, selkies have been chilling in the background, waiting for their moment. I figured it was time they got their due. So I dove in, crafting a tale where magic is wild, secrets refuse to stay buried, and the sea has a mind of its own.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I’m all about urban fantasy, psychothrillers, and mysteries—the kind of books that make you think while keeping you up way past a reasonable bedtime. My shelves are packed with Karen Moning’s magic-laced worlds, James Patterson’s rapid-fire thrillers, and David Baldacci’s twisty plots—because who doesn’t love a good what-the-heck-just-happened moment? But when it comes to writing, I like to take things a step further. I weave urban fantasy, gothic dark fantasy, and psychothrillers together, blending eerie atmospheres with sharp-witted characters and psychological depth. Thanks to my background in psychology, I love peeling back the layers of human nature (and supernatural nature) to explore what really makes people—and monsters—tick. Urban fantasy lets me play with hidden magic in the real world, psychothrillers fuel my obsession with secrets and mind games, and gothic dark fantasy? Well, that’s just where the really fun nightmares live.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

My TBR pile is brimming with captivating reads:​ Quicksilver by Callie Hart- Just started this last night, expecting a typical fantasy journey. Instead, it whisked me away on an unexpected adventure.​ One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig- A gothic tale promising dark magic and secrets.​ The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent- A fantasy novel blending intrigue and romance.​ The Stars Are Dying by Chloe C. Peñaranda- A dark romantic fantasy inspired by Greek myths.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Probably the opening scene—though calling it one scene feels generous considering I rewrote it at least seven times. It originally started in a university library, full of dusty books and dim lighting, but let’s be honest… it was BORING. Like, textbook-level boring. So, I scrapped it, reworked it, and let the storm roll in—literally. Now, it’s dripping with atmosphere, tension, and just the right amount of uh-oh, things are about to get weird.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Absolutely. My writing setup isn’t complete without my fantasy writing Spotify playlist humming in the background (because nothing says “time to summon words” like an epic orchestral swell). Barq’s root beer is my go-to writing fuel—because caffeine and sass belong together. And when my brain starts dragging? Salt-water taffy to the rescue. Bonus points if it’s sea-themed, because commitment to the vibe matters. Is it magic? Maybe. Is it sugar, caffeine, and mood-setting music? Definitely.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Absolutely—one of the best pieces of wisdom I ever got came from my dad: "Look around you. If everyone likes you, you’ve compromised your standards somewhere. If you truly do the right thing, you’ll have people who like you—and people who don’t." I try to live by that. It’s a reminder to stay true to who I am, write the stories that matter to me, and never water myself down just to please everyone. After all, the most interesting characters (and people) are the ones who stand by their convictions—even when it ruffles a few feathers.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

That magic—whether it’s in the form of selkie legends, eerie gothic secrets, or the mysteries of the mind—is always there, just beneath the surface. Sometimes it’s in the stories we tell, sometimes it’s in the choices we make, and sometimes it’s simply in the way we see the world. Oh, and maybe to never trust a seemingly innocent letter that mysteriously appears on your doorstep. Just saying.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A City of Hearts and Feathers (The Order of Anubis Book 1)?

I have always loved the history of Istanbul, and after two visits to the city in the past few years, I knew I had to write a story based there. History seeps through the ground there, and everywhere I went, my brain exploded with ideas. I really love stories of secret societies and magic, so I wanted to build a world that layered that into the inherent magic of the city itself. Add in a sexy immortal bodyguard and a bookish female main character, and the story wrote itself.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of A City of Hearts and Feathers (The Order of Anubis Book 1), what would they be?

I listened to a lot of Hozier writing this one, so for Kahil it was 'NFWMB', and for Zoe it was 'Too Sweet'.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I'm lucky that my fave genres to read are my fave genres to write – romantic urban fantasy and PNR. My book ideas generally start as me hunting a book and unable to find it!

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

A lot of Ruby Dixon because I can't get enough of her worlds.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

I really enjoyed any of the scenes at the secret Order house. I'm obsessed with secret societies and mythology and I really got to nerd out when creating The Order of Anubis. They were the hardest for me to create but also my faves.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I write on a walking treadmill, using a Freewrite on a standing desk. I always write best when I can't run away and quickly do something else!

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Adapt and overcome. It's served me well because the writing industry is always changing, and it's important to learn to be flexible.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I would really like them to remember that I took them on an adventure that they didn't expect.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Full Throttle (The Bikers of Boston Series Book 1)?

Biker romance has always been a favorite of mine, and I’ve been itching to write a street bike series set in Boston that’s fun, flirty, and full of spice. And let’s be real—haven’t we all had a crush or a fantasy about a teacher or professor at some point? That’s where the idea started. Add in a cocky, adrenaline-junkie street racer and a rigid, uptight professor who knows better but can’t resist the chase, and Full Throttle was born.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Full Throttle (The Bikers of Boston Series Book 1), what would they be?

Great question! I’d say "Pressure" by RÜFÜS DU SOL is the perfect fit. Isabella thrives on control, keeping her walls high and unshakable—she can take the pressure and refuses to break. But beneath that, she craves an escape, one she finds tearing through the streets on her hot pink bike. Diego knows that feeling all too well. He spent his life in the high-pressure world of MotoGP, believing he could handle anything—until his accident proved otherwise. When he meets Isabella, he recognizes himself in her. They’re both adrenaline junkies, but they’re running for different reasons. Diego pursues her HARD, refusing to back down, no matter how many times she tells him no. He pushes, persists, and never caves under the pressure of her denial until one day, she caves to his pressure. It’s their song because, in the end, pressure isn’t what breaks them. It’s what brings them together.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Romance is my favorite genre, of course, and when it comes to subgenres, I’m all about reverse age gap. There’s something undeniably sexy about flipping the script and showing that attraction isn’t defined by age but by confidence, experience, and knowing exactly what you want. And let’s be real, plenty of younger men crave that. They’re drawn to the depth, the conversation, and the undeniable pull of a woman who owns herself and isn’t here to play games. It’s not always about a fling. Sometimes, they want something real, the kind of chemistry and connection that comes with a woman who brings experience and intimacy to the table. And why not? Men have been choosing partners this way for centuries—kings, athletes, actors, politicians. It’s about time we shine a light on women doing the same—owning their desires, setting the rules, and getting exactly who they want.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

My TBR is pure chaos—steamy romances, books on writing craft, and the occasional self-help read to convince myself that I have my life together. I love getting lost in a good love story, but I’m always searching for ways to enhance my own. So if it’s got heat, heart, or a bit of wisdom? It’s likely in my stack.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Oh, I live for the moment when everything falls apart. The fight, the dark moment, the betrayal—when their guts are ripped out, and all hope is gone. It’s messy and devastating. It forces the characters to reveal who they truly are when there’s nothing left to hide behind. Without the heartbreak, the reconciliation wouldn’t hit as hard, and without the gut-wrenching fallout, the love wouldn’t feel as earned. There’s something deeply satisfying about pushing characters to their absolute breaking point, making them question everything, including each other, before they fight their way back together. Honestly, maybe I should be writing classics instead of steamy, happily-ever-after romances, but where’s the fun in that? I’d rather emotionally destroy my characters and make them earn their happy ending. Best of both worlds.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I keep it simple—I write on a laptop only. I tried the whole multiple screens and fancy keyboard setup, but I can’t be that rigid. I need to be able to move, shift, and let the story flow without feeling locked into a desk. When the Houston heat isn’t unbearable—basically, only in spring and winter—I love writing poolside with my bulldog chasing lizards or sunbathing on a lounger. Something about the fresh air, clear water, and sounds of nature keeps my creative juices flowing. Music is essential for the most intense or intimate scenes. It sets the mood, deepens the emotions, and makes the story feel even more alive. When it comes to action-packed moments, I usually dictate them. Keeping my hands free lets me act out the movement in my head, gesturing, pacing, and feeling the momentum so the energy translates straight onto the page. It’s taken me time and a few books to learn this about myself, but now that I do, the words flow.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Bitches Get Stitches is my war cry. It means leaving it all on the table, going all in, and never playing it safe. Chasing your dreams isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes guts, grit, and the kind of tenacity that won’t take no for an answer. When doubt creeps in, when quitting looks easier, when the world tells you to sit down—you stand the hell up and go in harder. Because sometimes you’ve got to be ruthless, sometimes you get knocked on your ass, and sometimes you bleed for it. But you take the hit, get stitched up, and get back in the game. No fear. No quitting. No walking away. Just the relentless, unapologetic pursuit of your dreams. That’s how you win. Because why? Bitches Get Stitches, that’s why.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

Age is just a number. We’re never too old for a new romance, a fresh start, or a bold reinvention. Passion, desire, and ambition don’t have a timeline—they belong to those fearless enough to chase them. Life isn’t about waiting for the right moment; it’s about creating it. Own your power, embrace what sets your soul on fire, and never shrink yourself for anyone. Whether it’s love, success, or a wild, unexpected detour, go for it. Because the best chapters? They’re still ahead.
