When did you start writing and what inspired you to start?
It’s a very long story and I really do not know how to explain it in one interview. Thanks for asking, though.
How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
Books? Novels, novellas, short stories? I’m very prolific, at this point. As to a favorite…isn’t that like asking a parent which child is their favorite? I love the creative spiral of September Ends and how poetry is a main ingredient of the novel’s prose. Yet, I love the story of Tennessee musician Dallas Fortune in The Fortune Series.

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?
Yes, story 2. There WAS an outline for the series, but like most things artistic, an outline doesn’t always stay on place, does it? We shall see where The Fortune Series goes. I LOVE the new man in Dallas Fortune’s life, Tom Vanderfleet. But, there’s the good looking fortune teller, Ernesto Lorenze. And, what will happen with the relationship between Dallas & Nashville’s guitar god, Billie Joe McAllister?
When your latest title is adapted to film, and the producers ask for your dream cast, what will you say?
Oh my, I really do not know, except the Fairy Godmother HAS to be Dolly Parton. Ernesto Lorenze was based on the looks of Foo Fighter’s drummer, Dave Grohl, but otherwise, I’m open to suggestions.
Is there a message in your book that you want readers to grasp?
Generally, the moral of the story is love conquers all, if only for a brief time.
Do you have a new book coming out soon?
Yes. Please see above…
Who are some of the authors you particularly admire or who’ve had some influence on your own writing?
So many authors, so little space…How do you expect me to list everyone love and admire here?
List your favorite quotation or words you live by.
“Believe nothing that you hear and half of what you see.” Southern Proverb; “Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.” Mark Twain; “Writers happen in the best of families.” Rita Mae Brown
Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
Thank you very much for your support. I appreciate everyone that has taken the time, and will take the time to read one of my stories. Your love and generosity mean a great deal and I thank my lucky stars for each of you, every day!
