Share with us your journey to becoming an author.

I guess like all writers, I’ve been writing since I was a child.  I didn’t become published until I attended a Romantic Times Convention as a Reader in 2003 and discovered small digital presses.   It was a viable way for me to become published which I did in 2005. I belong to a number of writer groups and these days I love to share what I know about the publishing world, including marketing and how tools work for self-publishing.

Share with us something quirky about you.

I have a coffee mug for each day of the week.  One for every Monday, every Tuesday, etc.

I was a world traveler at 18 months.  My father was in the military and my mother was a bit of a wanderer and we traveled throughout Europe while my dad was stationed in Germany.

Where were you born?

I was born in Frankfurt, Germany.  I grew up on bases as my father was in the Armed Forces.   My parents settled in Fargo, ND when I was 7 and I’ve lived here ever since.

How do you unwind?

I love to put one of those fireplace DVD’s in and read a good book.

Have you written any other books that are not published?

I’m working on Book 2 in the B.A.D. (Bold & Adventurous Debutante) Guide Series, How to Love a Lord.

If your book had a candle, what scent would it be?

Lavender Tea.
