Interview
Where are you from?
I’m from the Chicago area but now I live in northern
Illinois by the Wisconsin boarder.
Tell us your latest news?
Today is my debut book release called TEMPTING THE
LIGHT.
When and why did you begin writing?
I wrote my first book in second grade. I started
back up when I became an empty nester about five years ago.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
When I finished my first manuscript and wrote
another.
What inspired you to write your first book?
I loved to read and wanted to write unique stories.
Do you have a specific writing style?
How did you come up with the title?
I wanted my titles to reflect the series and be related
to each other. The acronym for Legends and Myth Police Squad is LAMPS so I
chose Light to be the common denominator. My heroine temps my hero therefore my
story’s name became Tempting The Light.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?
There are a few subtle messages. The main one is
sometimes we need help from our friends. There is also a very minor one about
adopting pets from shelters and rescues.
How much of the book is realistic?
Everything except the gnome, Jersey Devil, genie,
and the mime J
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life?
I’m very lucky to have a group of friends that have
been my friends since grade school. I based Abby’s and Pepper’s friendship off
of that experience.
What books have most influenced your life most?
I used to read Michael Crichton and Stephen King but
Twilight introduced me to paranormal romance. After reading the series I just
couldn’t get enough of the genre.
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor?
Terry Spear has been a great friend and mentor to
me. We met when we roomed together at a RWA conference. I’ve learned more about
writing and the business from her than anyone else.
What book are you reading now?
The Dirt on Ninth Grave by Darynda Jones
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest?
There are so many wonderful new authors out there. I
really enjoyed Viking Warrior Rising by Asa Maria Bradley.
What are your current projects?
I’m currently working on the second LAMPS book
called Pursuing the Light. Here’s a blurb.
L.A.M.P.S. hunter Leif Gunther grew up as an only
child. He has a system for keeping order in his life while hunting Cryptids. He
enjoys the solitude and quiet the job provides. Until a chatty redhead is
assigned to assist him in his quest for the vicious Sheepsquatch in West
Virginia and his systemized life gets turned upside down.
Cleaning up after Cryptids is not Holly McClure’s
favorite job. She’d rather be hunting like her four brothers. But when she
finds evidence that a pack of Abbagoochie’s are present an opportunity presents
itself and she seizes it with both hands. Not to mention she gets to be pared
up with the strong silent Leif Gunther, the man she’s been crushing on for the
last five years.
Leif just has three rules. Keep quiet, stay out of
my way, and don’t touch my stuff. Too bad Holly can’t help breaking them
repeatedly. Drawn together by the chase, Leif and Holly find that if they work
together they make a great hunting team and their passion grows as they pursue
their prey.
