What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Dragons Do It Nerdier?
I love reading romances with nerdy-hot heroes, so I knew that my Dragons Shifters Do It series had to have one!
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I used to read ALL the paranormal romance. Now I read ALL the sports romance. Maybe there are hockey-playing dragons in my future? 😉
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I'm reading fun, funny, warm Christmas stories right now. I'm all about light, love, and laughter around this time of year.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I always have two favorites: the beginning, when I'm first meeting my characters and they're first meeting each other, and the end, because as much as I love my characters, I want them sipping bubbly, happily ever after together!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I'm not a morning person, and I make myself write in the mornings. I've done the math, and the math says I write more words when I'm barely awake and can't see straight. Maybe it's math, maybe it's magic?
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Productive longevity. Keep writing the stories I love.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That the world can be a warm place with love in it.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Jackie's Paris?
I love all things Jackie Kennedy. A few years ago, when I read about her junior year of college spent abroad in Paris, I wondered if I could craft it into a story...and here we are!
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Yes, I tend to read what I love to write—mysteries, historicals, and crime fiction.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Beryl Blue Time Cop, a departure from my usual, as this is a fantasy with romantic elements.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I enjoyed the scenes at the masquerade ball. There's dancing, mingling—and a fencing match with a huge surprise!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I like to settle in at my writing desk with a cup of hot chocolate—winter or summer, doesn't matter—and play classical music or excerpts from operas.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Nothing hard and fast, but hey, Kindness is always a good idea.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Jackie's Paris is a coming-of-age story. I think there's often a struggle between embracing who you want to be vs. who your parents have raised you to be. Jackie eventually becomes the well-rounded woman who solidified a place in history. I hope the story is a reminder that conflict and heartaches will come, but we can get through anything.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Self Love Notes: Uplifting Poetry, Affirmations & Quotes?
The effects of adversity can permeate throughout our lives, influencing choices and decisions. It may also impact family dynamics by setting up generational cycles unresolved issues go unchecked. Putting myself first by focusing on self-care and doing what I need to maintain positive well-being not only benefited me, but those who love me. I hope that my thoughts, poetry, affirmations, quotes, and meditations will be useful to you as you grapple with whatever you are going through.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
It is so difficult to choose just one genre, as I am drawn to a number of different kinds of storytelling. Besides poetry which is my first love, I am intrigued by literary fiction centered around a strong character that evolves and triumphs.

Her Name is Knight by Yasmin Angoe, Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed, Verity by Colleen Hoover
