Enjoy!
Please
tell the readers a little about yourself:
I’m a U.S. Army Veteran, so my writing often
reflects a lot of that. I was also born and raised on a ranch in the Sandhills
of Nebraska. I spent a lot of time daydreaming and I had a world, for a child,
that was the ultimate place to be. My entertainment went as far as I could
stretch my creativity. I think all of this carried over to make me a better
artist and writer.
How
about your latest release?
I
have two this month, but the latest is my Christmas Story, This Endris Night.
Even though this cover has a polar bear on it, the story is science fiction.
I’m considering writing a few more stories in this world with my
“doppelgangers”
What
was your primary inspiration for this book?
A Christmas Carol from the 16th century.
We had to name our story after a Carol, and this one brought a doozie of a
story to mind.
Thys endris nygth
I saw a sygth,
A stare as brygt as day;
And ever among
A mayden song
Lullay, by by, lullay.
It
said to me, look up, something supernatural is happening.
Do
you have any muses?
Real
people? I’m inspired by life around me. For instance here are some observations
from one day.
I’m driving behind a
truck with a trailer, it’s giving off a cloud of noxious exhaust. As I pull up
alongside to pass, the wrap on the door says, “Save Mother Earth, Recycle.”
A large muscled man
with a shaved and tattooed head, leather from head to toe, climbs off an
impressive Harley outside the convenience store, unzips his jacket and pulls
out a Pomeranian He walks her around on a leash.
I saw a crow with a
discarded McDonald’s bag, the top rolled down and clutched in its beak, hopping
across the road, like he’d just gone through the drive through.
When you open your eyes
up and take a look around you, the world can be your muse. I know it’s mine.
Do
you control your characters or do they flog you into shape?
They do their own
thing. I’m only along for the ride.
When
you write, is there a special routine you follow?
I write in my vehicle
and it’s the only place I can write.
If
you could be one animal, person, or at a place for a day what/who/where would
it be?
I
would have loved to see ancient Greece first hand, the Spartans, Troy, and the
Parthenon. They had running water and conveniences a lot of the ancient
cultures didn’t.
Five
random facts about you:
I’m
a grandmother (young grandmother)
I’m an award-winning artist.
I have a recommended black belt. I’m Dyslexic. I’m a hell of a shot with a
rifle.
Are
you working on any new releases later this year?
Yes,
but more for stories that will release at the beginning of the year. I have a
story contracted for Decadent’s new Edge Series that will be coming out in the
near future, and one I’m polishing for submission for the same series. I also
have a story for their new science fiction line I’m working on. I have a second
book that follows my Blown Away series with Passion in Print, nearly done and
two others I’m polishing up for that series. A story that follows my award
winning futuristic novel, Slipping the Past with Liquid Silver Books, nearly
ready to go. A young adult science fiction novel. A military erotic romance
about a female sniper. And…
I think that’s all for
now. I have more, but I’m not working on them at the moment.
Anything
else you’d like to say?
Happy Holidays. May you have a
wonderful season with your family, whatever holidays you celebrate, wherever in
the world you are.
