Questions

What do you like the most about writing? 

I love everything! I’m a life-long reader and I just adore becoming completely immersed in a book. As an author, world-building and developing characters for others to love, is very fulfilling for me.

What struggles did you met when you wrote your first novel? 

Getting over the hump of imposter syndrome! Everything is so daunting when you first start out and many times you doubt your own abilities and creativity.

What advices will you give to a new author?

Read as much as you can! Reading in your genre, will make you a better writer. So will networking and making friends in the industry. Join a critique team or a business ideas team!

Do you listen to music when you are writing? If yes, do you have a special song? 

I do listen to music while working but only if I am doing administrative work. Usually the 90’s station!! When I’m writing however, I need complete silence.

What is the difference between writing in an anthology and a novel? 

Writing in an anthology is a fun way to offer your readers a little extra. It’s usually a short story or something similar like a bonus scene from a favorite series or a different POV from a favorite character. Whereas writing a novel, allows you to create a whole new world, write longer and go more in depth, both with the plot and the characters.

Do you prefer to write a series or a stand-alone? 

It really depends on the sub-genre. I have a steamy small-town series that I just adored writing. However, I also have a standalone dark romantic suspense that consumed me for months. I currently have 3 standalones and 3 series, so I guess I don’t have a preference, I really depends on the story and where it takes me.

Why did you decided to write romance?

It has always been my favorite genre to read, so when I began writing it was only natural to choose romance. Plus, there are so many different directions that you can go in romance. There’s really something for everyone.

What are your next projects? 

I’m currently in the plotting phase of a brand-new series so I can’t say too much about it yet. However, what I do know for sure, is that it will be set in the islands of the South Pacific and it will be as sizzling hot as the weather there!
