Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

I think of myself as an unusual introvert. I am a loner most times, but once I get to know someone, I can be quite the chatterbox with a wicked sense of humor. I'm a big fan of surfing the net for world news, new interests, etc. I love to draw even though I'm not really good. I discovered the Procreate app and haven't looked back. I also love to travel, read, and write. I think my favorite thing is spending time with dogs.

When and why did you start writing books?

I started writing just over a year ago. I'd thought about it ever since I was a kid, but life happened. Prior to writing romance books, I had a book about moving to a foreign country and adjusting. As to why? Why not? :-)

What made you decide to tackle writing as a career?

All the stories running through my head needed to be told. Being able to self publish changed the landscape and I wanted to read stories that I liked to read, and since I couldn't find them, I decided to write them, even if it's for a tiny audience.

Which one of your books or characters is your favourite?

Hmm... I would say Misty from The Billionaire's Redhead because she's feisty like me and we share the same profession. I am also a huge fan of Sable in The Billionaire's Billionaire because she is also quite brave and determined. I love strong women.

Which one of your books was the hardest to write and stretched you the most as a writer?

Protected by the Rancher would be it. I find it hard to write about a woman who suffers at the hand of a man so I most likely wouldn't write something like that again because in real life, I wouldn't stand for it...haha! I'd turn the tables on him.

Who is your favourite author and book?

I know you expect me to name a romance book, but nope! My favorite author was Jeffrey Archer ( I say was because his latest books haven't been as gripping). Favorite book of all time has to be Kane and Abel by him. Jackie Collins is a very close second because she wrote about strong and sexual women.

What book are you reading right now?

a Jack Reacher book called Night School.

Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

Mostly in my head, but sometimes it's from a commercial I see, or a dream.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Watching TV (mostly switching from channel to channel). I've been trying to learn Spanish for a long time, so, I take lessons and try to practice by reading my books that have been translated into Spanish. I'm learning a lot of bad words :-).

Do you have any new books in the works?

Yes, I am currently working on a book about the oldest of the Mafia Triplets named Rade. The first, Ruth, is out now. She is the youngest. It will end with Reed, the middle child. I am also finishing up another Mountain Man book.
