1. What were you in
your life before you became a writer? Did this influence your writing?
I’ve always worked in healthcare. I’m a Medical Office
Assistant as well as a Health Care Aide. I’ve worked in both doctor’s offices
and hospital care settings. Before that I worked with children and adults with
special needs. Working in healthcare hasn’t
specifically influenced my writing however, I believe it’s given me insights
foe my characters need to belong and the importance of being heard.
2. Are you genre
specific or general? Why? I don't mean genres like romance, mystery, fantasy
etc. There are many subgenres of the above.
I’m pretty attached to romance both in my reading and
writing preference. I would say I am
particularly partial to paranormal romance although I don’t limit myself. I also enjoy suspense, science fiction and
fantasy as long as a romantic thread is woven in.
3. Did your reading
choices have anything to do with your choice of a genre or genres?
Absolutely. I have always enjoyed reading stories about
worlds different from our own. When I was a kid in school my favorite day of
the week was library day. Our librarian
read to my class every week. I remember her reading The Chronicles of Narnia by
CS Lewis. I loved the world he created
with its fantastic creatures and talking animals. I think this shaped my love
for paranormal and fantasy even as I eventually moved on to romance and other
genres.
4. What's your latest
release?
I have recently released my first paranormal romance novel,
Out of Darkness. It’s about an ancient
immortal reluctantly tasked with protecting the mortal world from the existence
and interference of the long forgotten underworld. A mortal woman gets caught in the battle
between him and his enemies. Keeping her safe becomes his top priority.
5. What are you
working on now?
I have a contemporary
romance that I am re-writing. I’ve learned so much while publishing Out of
Darkness that am looking at my previous work with a whole new perspective. I’ve
also just started a sequel to Out of the Darkness.
6. Where can we find
you?
My
book is available to order in print from all independent stores
in Canada through Book Manager, and in through Amazon, Indigo, Chapters and
Coles. It’s also available to order in ebook format from many online sources
like Smashwords, Amazon Kindle, Kobo, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Walmart and more. Here is a quick link:
