Author's Bio
Writing and reading is a true joy for me. It’s a diversion from an often difficult world. I love to read a good story and create my own. It’s exciting to sit down in front of the computer and create a story where my imagination comes alive. I truly enjoy getting to know my characters. I admit I often daydream. I write about my daydreams. I bring them to life and that’s exciting.
I enjoy writing Sci-Fi and paranormal stories because I invent wonderful places and people. Anything is possible. Like a musician hears the music in their head, I hear the stories and the characters. Anything is possible in these genres and that is what is so fascinating. I’m able to create an escape into a special world filled with unique and fantastic things and there is always a happy ending.
I have written since I was in high school. A successful romance author was one of my High School English teachers and she inspired me. However, instead of initially pursuing my writing career I worked at a law career. Now, I am a successful lawyer and a mother of two wonderful children. I work in divorce court, so erotic romance is a great escape. There can be true love and happy-endings, at least on my pages.
My children and I have two good-humored dogs that share our home and ease our stress. I have traveled and lived all over the world and the places I’ve seen and the people I’ve met have given me great creative ideas.
Currently, I am working on several other books. One is the next in the Triaxen Chronicles. I am a member of Romance Writers of America. One day I hope my books will be mentioned in their monthly periodical.
Author's Profile
Q: What is your writing day like?
A: I think about my characters all week long and I mostly write on weekends and evenings. I jot down notes every day. When I sit down in front of the computer, I let the story flow. It is really like a movie to me unfolding before my eyes. It’s better than a movie because I’m in control of what’s happening.
Q: Are your heroines anything like you in real life?
A: In a way, I try to make my heroines career-women. Independent for the most part, but of course they need that strong alpha male to make them complete and completely happy. My heroines have better luck in love. But that’s the fantasy. Right?
Q. Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?
A: Begin somewhere. Just dreaming about writing won’t work. Write and don’t give up. If you are rejected, don’t let that stop you. Reach out to other writers to discuss things with. Sharing the trials and tribulations and the great successes is helpful to the spirit and will encourage you.
Q. What is the most exciting thing about having a book published?
A: I love seeing my dream shared with others. Seeing my name on a published book is absolutely thrilling. Being among other authors I admire, is amazing. But the best thing is to see the book covers that are created for my books. It makes it all the more real to me.
Q. What about writer’s block?
A: I really don’t have writer’s block. My problem is thinking about too many things at one time. I am working on several books right now, and I’m dreaming up others. My mind is always clicking with ideas and characters. I have to focus, that can be my challenge.
