I’d like to know more about you as a person first. What do you do when you’re not writing?
I
stay busy, so balancing out my family, work, and passions are crucial.
When I’m not writing, I love to hang out with my kids. I do that as much
as I can. I also enjoy making things like soap, candles, etc. I try to
catch up on reading material in my spare time. I’m also interested in
astrology and spiritualism, so I make the time to research those
subjects.
When did you start writing?
I started writing when I was sixteen.
As a published author, what would you say was the most pivotal point of your writing life?
I’d
say the most pivotal point in my writing life was when I decided to
publish. It was an emotionally toilsome decision because I was torn
between pursuing my dreams and protecting the most vulnerable parts of
myself. My stories and characters come from the deepest part of me, an
extension of my heart and mind. Revealing that to the rest of the world
was terrifying, thus pushing the boundaries of my own character. Working
through this, allowing myself to take this journey, has helped me grow
as a person, and as a writer.
If you could go anywhere in the world to start writing your next book, where would that be and why?
Ireland.
My current WIP is based there, and the more I research the country and
its history—particularly druidism/paganism—the more fascinating it
becomes. I’d love to experience it all firsthand.
If you had 4 hours of extra time today, what would you do?
I’d probably prep meals for the week, and maybe go to the gym.
Where would you like to set a story that you haven’t done yet?
I find Basque an incredibly interesting place, and I’ve considered setting a novel there.
Why was writing Precious Burdens so important to you?
The
storyline itself is dramatic, love initiated by revenge. Precious
Burdens was important to me because the more I delved into Sarafina and
Nye’s story, the more connected I became. Peeling back the layers as
their story unfolded, raised a lot of questions within me about
self-love, self-worth, duty, and redemption. The love and anguish
involved in these characters, and the obstacles they faced, gripped me.
In a sense, it left me vulnerable. For me, Precious Burdens was an
emotional journey.
What’s next for you?
Precious
Burdens has a companion novel, which will be announced soon. I'll be
working on that release, and wrapping up a couple of projects.
About Precious Burdens
Taken prisoner at sea, she clashes with her captor and demands freedom, only to discover he is planning her future husband’s demise, with her as a pawn in their deadly feud. The challenge of escape tests her loyalty to family, human decency, and love.
Captain Nye Tarquin is a dangerous man. Left to die on the streets of New Orleans, he swears retribution on the man responsible. When he makes Sarafina part of his plan, he isn’t prepared for the fiery vixen aboard his ship, nor his desire to claim her as his own. When passion overtakes honor, he’s torn between his heart and his need for justice.
