My answers to Marie Lavender’s questions:

11 Random Facts About Me

I adore hummingbirds.
I’ve had house rabbits as pets.
I can be silly sometimes.
I wrote my first novel when I was twelve.
I suffer from migraines.
I like indie films and foreign movies.
I watch weird TV shows—those with a supernatural element.
I hate to cook.
I love to sing.
I’m addicted to coffee.
I’m naïve.

Who is your favorite author?

Nora Roberts. She writes well and knows how to tell a good story.

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?

Writing my novel Elsewhere. Schizophrenia was difficult to research and explore…but it was a necessary element to my paranormal romance story.

What prompted you to create your blog/website?

I wanted to reach out to other writers, share our experiences, and host guest authors on my blog. I knew that I’d need a website to compete professionally and to promote my novels.

How do you decide which guests to invite to participate in your blog?

I’m honored to have any author, fiction or nonfiction, as a guest on my blog. Other writers are a lot more fascinating than I am!

What is your favorite music genre to listen to?

New Age piano: George Winston, Jim Brickman, David Lanz, Danny Wright, et al.

What advice would you give an aspiring writer?

Write because you love to…because if you didn’t, it would be like losing a limb. Be true to yourself; if you’re not, your stories will lack authenticity. Learn as much as you can about your craft, and master grammar and punctuation. Most importantly, never give up your dream, no matter how difficult or challenging…and, of course, believe in yourself.

What book are you reading now?

The Secret Butterfly Trail, by Zushka Biros (nonfiction).

What genre do you prefer to read?

Romance—preferably, with a paranormal twist.

If you could go anywhere and money wasn’t an obstacle, where would you go?

I’d like to travel to Austria, where my grandparents came from. I have relatives there; now, I just need to brush up on my German!

What do you do for fun?

Any activity that involves The Great Outdoors. That’s just one of the joys of living in Colorado. I can honestly say I have a “Rocky Mountain High” every day of the year!

I welcome guest authors, fiction or nonfiction, of any genre. If you’re interested, please email me.
