Tell us about yourself.:
I'm an Idaho girl. I live in a small town (like, no stoplight kind of small town, lol) with my handsome hubby and my obnoxious four-legged child who I love with all my heart…when I'm not wanting to chuck him out the door. But he is a cat, so really, what can you expect.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?:
I grew up all over the world. My father was born in raised in small-town Idaho but joined the Marine Corps where he served for 20 years. He retired just as I was going into junior high, and we moved back to this tiny no-name town in Idaho where I stuck out like a sore thumb. For the longest time, I hated Idaho, so it's ironic that I'm back home AND writing about small towns to boot! Teenage me NEVER would've expected this.
What’s your biggest weakness?
Dark chocolate and adorable cats. I have the hardest time telling my child no, even if he really needs to hear it. #whoops
When you’re not writing, how do you like to spend your time?
If you ask my cat, petting him. If you ask my husband, hanging out with him. If you ask me, taking a well-deserved nap. :-p
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
I learned to love to read with Nancy Drew in third grade. Until I found the Nancy Drew series, my family worried that I was going to turn out to be an illiterate village idiot who didn't love to read like I loved to breathe. (My family takes reading VERY seriously). After I fell in love with Nancy Drew (and by extension, reading as a whole), my family could take a collective breath of relief.
What is your favorite method for promoting your work?
Nothing beats word of mouth, of course. I take it as SUCH a compliment when people recommend my books to their friends and family. Makes my heart so happy.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I'm working hard on my Servicemen of Long Valley Romance series. Can't wait to finally start releasing these books!
If you could share one thing with your fans, what would that be?
That I am exactly who you think I am. :-p When you read my books, I have a really strong "author voice," and I've been told time and again by friends and family that when they read my books, they can almost hear me because my books sound so much like me.
So if you like my books, I can almost guarantee you'd like me if you met me in real life. I'm not good at pretending otherwise be someone I'm not (for better or worse!)
