Thank you so much for allowing me to
guest on your blog.
Before I was a fulltime writer, I
worked as an information technology professional. I started from the ground
floor, doing user support and worked my way up to server environment supervisor
and finally, solution architect and enterprise architect before I retired. The
last to positions I worked independently as a contractor to various clients. I
was always self-motivated and disciplined, but working one week on site and one
week at home, alternately, sharpened these attributes and are invaluable when
buckling down to write a novel. I find it easy to sit down and pound out at
least a thousand words in one session, usually more. By nature am a planner and
my past work experience has expanded this skill too and comes in handy when
writing mysteries. I like to storyboard the plot.
Because I read multiple genres, they influence
what I write. Romantic suspense, with a fifty-fifty split between the mystery
and the romance. Urban fantasy with the emphasis a three-way division among
paranormal romance, the fantasy aspects, and the mystery.
Cozy mysteries are an eighty/twenty
division where the bulk of the book is the mystery and there may or may not be
a touch of romance. I also like to include some humour and quirky characters in
each novel, a pet, and of course food. In the past ten months I’ve release two
urban fantasies, and one cozy mystery.
HELL CAT and TRUSTING THE WOLF are both
from the VIC Shapeshifter series. DEATH AND CUPCAKES is from the Musgrave
Landing series, to be followed next year by FUN WITH FUNERALS, already
completed.
Currently, I’m working on a third cozy
mystery, CONDO CRAZY, inspired by the mishaps and adventures my sister has had
owning a condo and being on the condo board.
I am also working a fourth book in the
VIC Shapeshifter series, tentatively entitled MAGIC’S PRICE.
My books are available on all ebook
platforms, KOBO, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, iBooks, Walmart, etc.
Print books are available, from Amazon or the publisher’s website or by
requesting them at your local book store. Over this past summer, I’ve donated
many books to libraries.
