How long have you been writing?
I’ve been writing since I was ten, but writing for publication about 13 years.
How did you pick the genre you write in?
The genre picked me. I started out as a romance writer, but I always seemed to end up with a crime in it. I also tend to like stories with more than one plot so thriller and suspense lends itself to that.
What was the best writing advice someone gave you?
This applies to any dream. Every day do at least one thing to work towards your goal.
What was the worst?
An early critique partner told me to write for Harlequin. Nothing wrong with Harlequin, my stories wouldn’t fit there.
What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
Do one thing every single day to get closer to your goal.
What was your favorite book when you were a child?
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. That may seem an odd choice, as it is middle grade, but I was reading 3 grades ahead of my age.
What’s your favorite quote?
From a John Lennon song called Beautiful Boy. Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.
What is your favorite word?
Potential
Tell me one thing about yourself that very few people know?
I’m not fearless.
What are your other interests and hobbies?
I wish I had more time for other things, but writing is very time-consuming. What I used to like to do was cross stitch. The rhythm of it is very relaxing. I also like to hike.
