Hi everyone!!! My book tour for A Chance at Love kicked off this week and I was interviewed by the blog The Reading Cat. The full interview is below:
Who is your favorite author?
I love anything with Carl Weber, Nicholas Sparks, Victoria Christopher Murray, and Reshonda Tate Billingsley. Now that the New Adult genre is huge, I love various authors from Jessica Sorensen to Colleen Hoover.
What book genre of books do you adore?
I love the New Adult genre. It’s just something about reading characters who come full circle with their lives and finding love when they least expect it. I can’t get enough of the genre.
Location and life experiences can really influence writing, tell us where you grew up and where you live now?
I grew up in Houston, Texas, but I live in a sub city named Stafford, which is still in Houston.
Do you find it hard to share your work?
I do sometimes. I may be a bit intimidated when I share my work mostly to strangers than family or friends. With my first story, In Love With My Best Friend, I was really nervous to share it to the public because this was my first book and didn’t know how people would perceive me and my writing. So it takes a little getting used to with comments or feedback about a particular writing or work.
Is your family supportive? Do your friends support you?
My family and friends definitely support me. They were the first one out buying my book! I really appreciate their love and support for me while trying to find my way as a writer. It means a lot.
Do you plan to publish more books?
Of course! I’m in the process of publishing my fifth book, Trust Me, which is the second book in the Love, Life, & Happiness series. The story will be released February 27th. I am taking a month off from writing and will start back in April to begin writing The Wedding Part I & II.
What else do you do to make money, other that write? It is rare today for writers to be full time…. I’m an office manager for a driving school. I run the entire office as well as help teenagers and adults with driving programs. I’m also a freelance writer, and have published several articles for various sites.
What other jobs have you had in your life?
I have been a secretary, a preschool teacher, a cashier for Old Navy and for a community college, and a substitute teacher.
How do you write- lap top, pen, paper, in bed, at a desk?
I have to use a computer when writing. I feel lost without one. When I have ideas, I usually jot them down on my iPad, but I have to use a computer for the final project.
When you are not writing, how do you like to relax?
Usually I will read, watch TV, hang out with my family and friends, or just sleep. Sleep is always good!
