How
long have you been writing?
I
began writing poems and short stories when I was twelve and have been
writing off and on ever since. I’ve been writing professionally for
five years now and I’m grateful to finally be able to do that. I’ve
taken a break from writing newspaper articles to concentrate on
finishing five new novels in the works. Sometimes you have to set
priorities and finishing these books is most important to me at this
time.
Why
do you write?
To
me, writing is as natural as breathing. My mind is so full of stories
and characters wanting their stories told. I love poetry, but I’m
drawn more to the poets of the past. There are a few modern poets I love
and enjoy. Debbie Steven being one. I’m not happy with the changes
taking place in poetry or what’s considered ‘in’ or ‘good’ in
today’s society. There’s way too much emphasis on technique,
grammar, capitalization—and the aversion to rhyming in poetry today is
ludicrous. To me poetry is about emotions and images…that’s where
the emphasis should be.
Who
are some of your favorite authors?
Emily
Dickinson, Dean Koontz, Edgar Allen Poe, Amanda Quick, Charlotte Bronte,
Lavyrle Spencer, Elizabeth Lowell, Robert Frost, Henry David Thoreau, E.
E. Cummings, and many more. I'm an avid reader and I love finding
wonderful new authors to add to my favorites. I've recently added M.
Jean Pike, Karen Rose, Lindsey Sands and Debbie Stevens to my list of
favorites.

Fear”
A madman stalks
the small city of Briarwood and surrounding communities, carefully
choosing those women he feels are worthy of his attention.
Stripping them of all pride and dignity, he adds them to his
ever-growing collection. At first his captive victims only wish to stay
alive, eventually some will pray to die.
Police detective, Matthew Barns has a reputation for finding missing
people when all hope is gone. With his attention divided between finding
the missing women and winning back his fiancé, will he be able to find
the victims before it's too late? When one woman is found brutally
raped and murdered, Matthew realizes time is running out for all the
women.
Charles Ambrose Elliot, a wealthy and powerful businessman has loved one
woman his entire life, Matthew's fiancé Alexia Wellington. Devastated
when she and her best friend Meg fall into the hands of this madman,
he's determined to do whatever it takes to bring them home.
“Black Rock ~ A Time For Love”
Imagine
discovering that your entire life had been a lie, that you'd been
kidnapped as a toddler and sent back to the 1800's. Roxanne makes this
discovery from the rudest man she's ever met—a man who can turn her
brain to mush and set her soul afire with just a look. You know the
type, devastatingly sexy...impossible to resist. While fighting to
remain the lady she was raised to be, Roxanne also must deal with
another man...charming, obsessed...evil.
