How did you become an author and get published? Share your experience.

I was first published with an eBook company when electronic publishing was new then moved to a mid-list company that published in all formats. Later I went indie until 2019 when I signed with Love Inspired for my contemporary romances.

What have you found to be most challenging about writing in [genre]?

The most challenging thing about writing romance is narrowing down the subgenre you enjoy and finding your readership. Romance is a broad crowd.

Would you like readers to have any specific takeaway from your book?

When I finish writing a book, I want my readers to feel uplifted and inspired to be brave and try things they never thought they could do. I want their faith to be renewed and leave them with a few small moments of peace and happiness.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?

I usually sketch out a loose backstory and outline with paper and pen. It's easier for me to get my ideas out this way because there's less pressure than sitting in front of a computer. After I transfer my notes to a document and type a first chapter or two, I'll sometimes take the outline to a white board to work out the plot map so I can see the big picture before I get too far into the story.

As an author, what critique has been the most challenging for you to receive? On the other hand, what compliment has been the most rewarding?

I think the worst critique I ever received was one line which left a lot of unanswered questions and came across as too rude to accept. Constructive criticism should motivate and encourage.

To date, what is your favorite (or most difficult) chapter you have ever written?

The most difficult chapter I've ever written was an unpublished scene of a woman in the darkest depths of depression. It was something I could emphasize with and was triggering, but I wanted to be real even if it was uncomfortable.

What do you like to do when you’re not writing?

Hike. Travel. Work on updating my home.

What can we anticipate from you moving forward?

After writing historical and modern romance the past 25 years, I'd like to segue into historical fiction and women's fiction. That's the dream.

Are any of the characters in your book based on people in your real life? If so, can you tell us more about that process and how it influenced your writing?

Many people I've met or have known have inspired characters or situations, but I never write a book based on real people just to protect their privacy and myself.
