What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write this book?
It began with a headline sent to me by my best friend, Pamela Morsi, but evolved into something very personal to me. Much of this story lies close to my heart, but I don’t want to give too much away in the explanation of that. I just had things I needed/wanted to say!
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of your book, what would they be?
Way Down We Go by Kaleo!
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
It depends on my mood! I cut my teeth on Historical Romance and still love those, but lately I find myself reading mostly fantasy and women’s fiction — both genres that I still write.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
A Whisper of Death by Darcy Burke.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I loved writing the final scene, but I can’t tell you why without giving away the end! 😉
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I have an office, but tend to write on my couch with my fuzzy blanket (even in summer) and one of my kitties beside me.
Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?
I try to examine my motives for every decision I make, and try (I fail sometimes) to make my decision with “love” as my motivator — as in, love thy neighbor.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Remember that what you see on the surface is rarely the entire truth. And sisters, let’s lift each other up.
