1.
What were you before
you became an author? Did this influence your choices as a writer?
I became an author
later in life. One of my first jobs was driving a dump truck. I’ve been a
janitor, maid, waitress. The job that began the change in my life was as an
attendant for the developmentally disabled. This led to a career as an
Emergency Medical Technician, both at the developmental center and later in a
women’s state prison. I also volunteered with my local squad. Do to cut backs
in the state, I was laid off from the prison and subsequently opened a coffee
shop and small restaurant running those for several years. Then I found myself
working in a veterinary emergency hospital. 2011 the economy was not good. I
found myself unemployed once more. That’s when I took advantage of bad
situation and began writing.
2.
Are you genre specific
or general? I don’t mean major genres but subdivisions or romance, mystery or
paranormal.
I love to read
different things, so I do write the same. I consider myself a romance writer
who enjoys penning a variety of genres. So contemporary, fantasy, suspense, and
I even published a mid-grade paranormal

What are you working
on now?

release date on a novella titled Rainbow Sprinkles it’s a contemporary
with light paranormal. I’m also working on Jazz House the second book in the
Impact Series
5. Does your reading choices influence your
choice of a writing career?
Absolutely! Back in the day, I passed a
bookstore while traveling between High School and one of my jobs. Almost daily
I stopped and picked up a romance novel. Phyliss Whitney, Rosemary Rogers and
Victoria Holt to name a few. But I also love children’s books. Heidi, Black
Beauty, the Narnia Chronicles. J.R.R. Tolkien is a huge influence in my fantasies.
