We welcome you to My Bookish Pleasures! Can you tell us how you got started writing fiction?
I started writing fiction because it is basically what I read.
Describe your writing process. Do you plot or write by the seat of your pants? When and where do you write?
I write by the seat of my pants. I come up with a what if scenario then the characters. Sometimes I come up with the ending and work backwards. I write wherever I am; in the vehicle, on the deck or while my husband is fishing.
Can you tell us about your most recent release?
Blood and Water was released 20 years ago then again in 2014. I got sick before I had the chance to really market it. The second time it was released as Betrayal and Forgiveness. The book deals with loss, family conflict and tragedy but in all of that there is a happy ending.
How did you get the idea for the book?
I have worked as a counselor and as a registered nurse. I have witnessed a lot of family tragedy and trauma and conflict and yes they sometimes have a happy ending. I myself am proof of that. You can’t do it by yourself. First I have my relationship with my Savior then with my family and friends.
Of all your characters, which one is your favorite? Why?
I created all my characters. Until I get to my trilogy where I have demons, I love all characters.
What was the most challenging aspect of writing your book?
Learning to stop. I could add so much more detail but then the book would be way too long.
What projects are you currently working on?
I am currently working on a YA trilogy, involving angels and demons.
What advice would you offer to new or aspiring fiction authors?
Just take pen and paper in hand and start writing.
