When did you start writing and what inspired you to start?
What a great question! Writing is something I have always done. It’s a part of my existence. I don’t know when it began nor do I know what inspired it.
How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
Phoenix Rising is my third book on Amazon, along with two short stories from The Fortune Series. It’s difficult to name a favorite because they are all favorites for many reasons. September Ends was written as I assisted in end of life care for my mom, so there are many emotions captured in that book and it’s follow-up story, September Again. The Fortune Series are fun, imaginative short stories about the fictional country musician Dallas Fortune. Phoenix Rising is my first venture into my own favorite reading topic, history and historical fiction.

PHOENIX RISING “Compelling, captivating, moving” Claire Ridgway. @AnneBoleynFiles
The current trend in publishing is toward series novels as opposed to stand-alone books. Is your most recent release part of a series? If so, where do you see the story going (ie how many books in the series)? If not, do you have a series you’ve written or plan to write, and if so, what is it?
I love short reads, and believe other readers do, too. The September Stories and The Fortune Series are ongoing, but Phoenix Rising is a stand-alone novella.
When your latest title is adapted to film, and the producers ask for your dream cast, what will you say?
Please use your imagination.
Is there a message in your book that you want readers to grasp?
Each story has a different meaning. Often stories have many meanings, but I don’t have a ‘message’ that I attempt to promote except love. Love is always the right thing to do.
Do you have a new book coming out soon?
Phoenix Rising launched May 19, 2015.
Who are some of the authors you particularly admire or who’ve had some influence on your own writing?
There are so many incredible authors, I can’t narrow it done for one interview. This is a topic for a book, isn’t it?
