Interview
Where are you from?
I'm from the tropical paradise of Florida, born and raised!
Tell us your latest news?
Well, I just released my first novel in eight years, RAINDROPS ON
ROSES, which is Book One of my brand new Favorite Things Trilogy, which features
a razor-sharp love triangle! And I'm SO excited for everyone to read it!
When and why did you begin
writing?
In college. Prior to that the thought had never even crossed my
mind! But we got an assignment to write a poem that we had to read to the class;
the positive reaction I got set me off in the 'write' direction, so to speak. ;-)
When did you first
consider yourself a writer?
I'm not sure I do
consider myself a writer, per se. I feel like more of a storyteller, which is a
whole lot more fun!
What inspired you to write
your first book?
My first book was THE GREAT PRETENDER—the story of a man who lives
a double life for several years, going back and forth between two separate
families—and he gets away with it!
I remember thinking about the fact that most women who get
involved with married men usually know they're married, or find out before too
long; but I got excited about the idea of exploring a high tension circumstance
in which a woman doesn't find out for many years!
Do you have a specific writing
style?
Engaging, I hope!
How did you come up with
the title?
For RAINDROPS ON ROSES: I've always loved the Favorite Things song
from "The Sound of Music" and one day the idea for a chain of
high-end boutique hotels popped into my head— and the Favorite Things Trilogy
was born!
Is there a message in your
novel that you want readers to grasp?
Indeed. It's never a good idea to allow yourself to be defined by
(or completely dependent on, anyone)—especially
not a man, ladies! Some seriously crazy things tend to happen when a woman's not
emotionally healthy and independent!
How much of the book is
realistic?
100%. Dramatic love triangles and co-dependent relationships are
playing out all around us, everywhere in the world, every single day!
Are experiences based on
someone you know, or events in your own life?
Not at all. It's all from my own wonderful imagination!
What books have influenced
your life most?
In fiction, the most influential would be THE GOOD EARTH by Pearl
S. Buck. I love the emotional truth and the lessons about loyalty, struggle and
betrayal.
In non-fiction, it's super hard to pick just one, but I'll go with
A NEW EARTH by Eckhart Tolle—a definite turning point in my life!
If you had to choose,
which writer would you consider a mentor?
I'd go with Sidney Sheldon. Why not? He was King of the
page-turner!
What book are you reading
now?
I just started reading A WEEK IN WINTER by Maeve Binchy, her final
book before she passed away a couple years ago.
Are there any new authors
that have grasped your interest?
Absolutely! Two who stand out right now are Shilpi Somaya Gowda,
author of SECRET DAUGHTER, a true gem of a read! And Lawrence Hill, author of
the amazingly epic novel, SOMEONE KNOWS MY NAME! I highly recommend both—great writers!
What are your current
projects?
Right now I'm hard at work on the second book of the Favorite
Things Trilogy, BLUE SATIN SASHES! Very exciting!
