When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
I think I
have always wanted be a writer, but it didn’t become a feasible reality until a
few years ago. I had recently been
cleared of cancer and found that I what I most desperately wanted was to
entertain other people. I think there is
strength in humour and I would like to tap into this and help others.
What genre do you write and why?
I write paranormal romance with
an edge. Everything
I write has a dark, suspenseful, and sexy side.
I like to surprise my readers and keep them on the edges of their seats.
Tell us about your latest book.
Ellie
Smith, an emotionally stunted dancer, finds more than she bargains for after
her human life is taken by the vampire, Master Liam. Once inside the Vampire’s underground lair,
the Keres Den, she meets Ian, an immortal Viking warrior, who is infiltrating
the soulless prison.
As Ellie begins her training, she learns that
the dark tunnels around her are filled with even darker secrets. As the truth of her existence come to light,
she is faced with a choice—does she let her past dictate her future, or can she
begin to feel again?
What marketing methods are you using to promote your
book?
I am a very
social network centered person. Like
most modern authors, it is important to stress the fact that we must be
active. I love talking to fans, doing
interviews and helping out other authors.
Unless you are an author who is struck by marketing lightening I think
being present is imperative for success.
What formats is the book available in?
This novella is in e-book
format.
However, my recently released
novel, Curse of the Wolf is available
in paperback.
What do you like to do when you're not writing?
I live and
work in Montana
What advice do you have for other writers?
Follow your
heart. So many people say it, but to
succeed you must write the book that is in your heart. Yes, make it marketable, but write whatever
it is you choose. Push your boundaries
and make yourself uncomfortable. If you
do, you will succeed.

What's the best thing about being a writer?
As a romance
author I have the opportunity to surround myself with other romance
authors. These women are amazing. They are always willing to help out other
authors whether it means giving a heads-up about marketing opportunities or
beta reading a novel.
