Thank you for having me as a guest on your blog.
1.
Tell me
about your latest release? Genre?
MEG, book 20 of the Angel Creek Christmas
Brides, releases December 18 in ebook and print and is also available on Kindle
Unlimited. This is a historical western
romance set in Montana Territory in 1870.
2.
Where
did the idea arise?
Sylvia McDaniel came up with premise of five
friends from Charlotte who left the devastation of their hometown. In 1866,
they traveled west as mail-order brides. The first year the books were released
was 2018 but I didn’t join the series until book 11 in 2019.
3.
How much
research was involved? Did you stay on point or be distracted by wanting to
look at just one more thing?
A map of the town was included in the series
files. Obviously research was involved. For instance, I needed to know the
winter temperatures, how the town would look, were there Native Americans, did
the residents use wood or coal to heat their homes? There’s always one
more thing. Even if thirty minutes of reading results in using only one
sentence, an author has to be certain what he/she writes is credible.
4.
How long
did you take to write the book?
I spent six weeks on this one. That’s a
little longer than necessary but I had the flu. Not Covid, just ordinary flu
that knocked me around for a week. Plus, knowing I had plenty of time, I took
longer to finish the book.
5.
Now a
bit about you. How long have you been writing? What is your Sun Sign?
In reverse order, I’m a Virgo born on
September 16 (Not saying what year). I sold my first book to Kensington in 1998
and started self-publishing in 2012. I’ve been making up stories since I was
about five or six. They usually involved a beautiful princess, a handsome
prince, and a castle and were illustrated by crayon. Fortunately, I know great
cover designers now—no crayons.
6.
Do you
write in a number of genres or stick to one?
Most of my books are historical western romances
but I also write contemporary western romance, time travel, and mystery. One of
the great things about being independent is that you can write what you wish
when you wish.
7. Where on the internet can you be found?
