Tell us a bit about
yourself.
I was born in Baytown, Texas not far from Houston. A southern girl at heart, I have lived most
of my life in California. Except for a
few years spent in Alaska while my husband, Dan, was in the U.S. Army.My husband and I have two grown children and many pets.
Multiple dogs, cats and a very curious cockatoo named Clyde. My husband and I have traveled across the country and
have visited thirty eight states in the U.S. some multiples times. Through our travels is where I get some of
the inspirations for my stories.
Writing short stories here and there while growing up,
being a private person, I never shared my writings, even with close friends or
family. Much less allow them to be made
public. I was strongly encouraged to
publish my first novel, Fear’s Revenge in September 2013. I received tremendous feedback from readers so I decided
to release my second novel, Return to Lily Cove in March 2014 and just his past
August I released my third novel, Gabrielle, lost and I am currently working on
my fourth novel in the series, Feathers in the Wind. Hopefully, I can get this one done and
released in early 2016.
What is one of your
favorite positive sayings or quotes?
Be
true to yourself.
Who or What inspired
you to start writing this book?
I kept having scenes run
through my mind and after a few days of it repeating itself I decided to start
writing them down. Day after day until
the first book was done. Then it was
onto the next story.
What three words would you use to describe this book?
Roller
Coaster Ride
Who is your target group for this book?
My books are about women in
their late 30's. Because basically us women
are never older than that, right ladies?
So my target group is women 18 and over.
I feel that some of the chapters are a little graphic, so I wouldn't recommend
them for younger audiences.
Tell us about this book.
Gabrielle
Grimaldi, the former party girl from Fears Revenge, thought she had finally
found the right man, Frank, to settle down with. Her career in the fashion world was beginning
to take off. That
is, until she gets the opportunity to do some training in Italy and meets Giada
Rosso, a wild Italian, fast driving, hot tempered fashion house maverick that
would be her trainer. The two women have
an instant connection. Then Gabrielle
meets Antonio, Gia’s brother and tensions begin to rise between the three of
them. She finds herself reverting back
to her wilder ways.
Gabrielle
soon discovers that her new found friends have a questionable family business
on the dark side of the law. She soon
discovers shipments in the family vineyard wine bottles hidden amongst fabrics
for the fashion house. Soon
she must decide between her boyfriend in America and her new friends in
Italy. Confusion and tension rise as
emotions continue to run high as kidnapping and sexual encounters ensue.Gabrielle
then learns the connection between her boyfriend and her new friends in
Italy.
Do you have a favorite chapter from this book?
In
Gabrielle, lost, my favorite chapter would be hmm . . . that's a tough
one. There are many scenes in that novel
that I really feel good about. Maybe
cooking the lobsters in Chapter 1? Or
maybe being chasing around the office by her trainer. Very tense and funny at the same time.
What do you hope people will gain from reading this book?
Well, I hope they enjoy reading my novels for
stories themselves. I do hope the
readers ultimately get the message that regardless of what or how your life has
turned out we make our life what we want.
If we don't like what we have been dealt with in life, we have the inner
power and strength to change it.
Is your book in Print,
ebook or both?
All
my novels are available in print in pefect bound, hard bound and in ebook for
those readers to download on their ipads, tablets and smart phone.
What advice would you give to other Writers?
Write,
just write. Write it down. Whatever comes to mind. It may not make sense to you right now, but
later on it might. Just keep writing,
never give up something you love doing.
