What inspires you to write?
I like to grapple with my own fears and concerns in my fiction–everything from adoption and hoarding to being eaten by a wild animal! My family, my students, and my volunteer work are endless sources of inspiration.

Tell us about your writing process.
I am a pantser! Someone more famous than I said that if he wasn’t surprised by what happened next in his books, his readers wouldn’t be either. So, I ask myself a series of questions about my characters, but I don’t make a plot outline.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
My characters are like friends to me–I worry about them and launch with them. Like real people, they often surprise me!

What advice would you give other writers?
Write every day. Revise endlessly. Get feedback. Revise more.

How did you decide how to publish your books?
My first three books were traditionally published by Pocket Books, a division of Simon and Schuster. I went the self-publsihing route when my agent couldn’t sell one o my books. That book, ANOTHER MAN’S TREASURE, has more reviews and has earned me more money than any of the others.

What do you think about the future of book publishing?
It changes every day. There will always be readers, so there will always be books.

What do you use?: Beta Readers, Professional Cover Designer, Professional Editor

What genres do you write?: mystery, romantic suspense, domestic thriller

What formats are your books in?: Both eBook and Print
