What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Love Me: A Memoir of Online Dating, Mental Illness and Redemption?
It takes place in the space of one year – the worst year of my life. It’s about raw vulnerability, stumbling resilience and rising out of the ashes to a new, hope filled future.
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Fiction and non-fiction.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes, The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women Across The World by Adrienne Mayor.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The scene where I am serving dinner to Chris, and open the front door to four police officers holding their guns, all while I’m holding a plate of lasagna.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Not really, just my laptop and a head full of ideas.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Be kind.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That I survived the darkest days of my life and found real joy, and so can they.
