What can you tell us about your new release, An American Cinderella?
This book was inspired by the upcoming royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The plot is a modern take on Cinderella, and it has the same feel-good happily ever after that Cinderella is known for.
What or who inspired you to become an author?
My husband is the reason I became an author. He is the reason that I even considered being an author. Without him, I'd probably still be in the medical field!
Which books would we be surprised to find on your shelves?
I love fantasy. Most of my shelf is taken up with elves, dragons, and magic. And medical books. It's an interesting assortment!
What's on your writing desk?
Right now, I have paper flowers that a reader made for me (out of my own book! They're so cool), my computer stuff, a cup of tea, a random cup of playdough, 3 bookmarks, and the mail I need to go through.
What is a typical day like for you?
I take my oldest son to school, stop at the gym, get groceries/errands, come home and work until it's time for pickup, then make dinner. Sometimes I work after dinner if my husband can watch the kids, and I do some writing after everyone is in bed.
BAM. You're a superhero. What's your superpower?
Elemental manipulation. I want to be able to control water, wind, fire, and earth- or at least one of them.
What scene in An American Cinderella was your favorite to write?
I actually loved writing the evil stepmother scenes. She's so evil and insidious!
