What inspires you to write?
I found a lot of inspiration from my own life actually. I left home at 17 and got involved in an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship. By the time I left over 15 years later, I had four young children. I was lucky my aging mother defied my father and allowed me to go back home until I could find a place to live.
I reconnected with a friend of mine who had also separated from an abusive woman, and we went for coffee, and he helped me and my kids get settled in a place of our own.
He and I celebrated our twelfth wedding anniversary this year.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I get inspiration from several genres and authors like Agatha Christie and Amanda Quick.
Tell us about your writing process.
It's different for every book, but mostly I start with an idea for a verbal interaction between characters, then I jot down rough character descriptions, followed by dot-points for significant plot ideas. After that, I usually let the characters tell me what to do.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Talk to them…argue with them…ask them what the hell they think they're doing…
What advice would you give other writers?
Don't give up and write from the heart and not to please people.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I used to be traditionally published for years – first published shut down; second had an internal dispute and shut down mid-editing process; third put me through the wringer with shotty editing and a contract I couldn't get out of until they shut down a couple of years ago; and the fourth was wonderful to work with but they shut a few years back.
After that roller-coaster, I decided to try my hand at being an independent, so my husband helped me register an online publishing name and that's how I release my books now.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
It's always been a challenge, but now with AI stuff in the works, the market is swamped. Not to mention political correctness and every man and their dog claiming to be offended or triggered by something – it's like governing a minefield.
