  1. Tell us a little about yourself.
Thank you so much for having me here, Lacey.

I’m a mother of two wonderful, albeit energetic children, living in Vienna. I work as an assistant nurse.


2. What genre do you write?
Contemporary romance as well as paranormal and fantasy.

3.Please tell us about your latest release Truly, Madly, Deeply, You  and how you came up with the idea. Truly, Madly  is about two people, two best friends who have known each other since they were kids. One is going through a difficult time in her life, while the other is hopelessly in love with his friend and will do anything to take away her pain. It’s a ‘Friends to lovers’ story, as well as second chance at love.

I was inspired by a couple who I visited in their home during my home visits. The man was 93 years and his wife 88, and while I sat there listening to them, telling me how they were best friends even before they got married, my mind wandered and began weaving a story: a friends to lovers story. Only in mine, the male harbors feelings for his female friend, but she has no idea how he feels.

4. Is it part of a series?
Yes it is

5. A must have snack while you write.
I enjoy nibbling pretzels and salt sticks.

6. If you had to choose a favorite book that you’ve written, which would it be
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. That book is awesome.

7. Advice to writers who have yet to be published.
Research: It would be embarrassing to have a very well thought and written story, but the facts are all wrong. Do your homework, before submitting to the ‘teacher’.

Never let anyone tell you , you can’t make it as a writer. You can and you will. It’s difficult but others have been there and done that. Just needs a little bit of patience – well, a lot - and elbow grease to get that manuscript finished.

Get your work edited before publishing. Yes, it’s expensive, but worth it. Your story might be like the next best thing to chocolate, a trendsetter even, but if it isn’t polished, and keeps pulling th reader out of it, it can be disastrous.

Join a critique group, or at least have your work beta read.

8. Is there a genre you haven’t written yet that you want to?
I would love to write Sci-fi romance one day. Something Space Opera-ish.

9. Any quirky habits?
I bite my nails and jiggle my foot when I am nervous.

10. What type of hero do you enjoy writing about?
 I love writing both Alpha and Beta Heroes. Each has their own qualities and character that make them fun and intriguing,

11.  What are you currently reading?
Right now I am reading Beautiful Distaster by Jamie McGuire

12.  What are you currently working on?
I’m working on two projects at the moment.

Reaper’s Novice:

It’s about a normal girl with normal teenage dreams. Her family is falling apart, and all she wants to do is glue it together. Instead she ends up trading her soul for  the four souls of her family in order to save them, after an accident, and ends up becoming the Reaper’s Novice. After two years of Novicehood, Grim decides to test her. If she passes the tests, then her family’s souls are off the proverbial hook.

The second is the Truly Madly sequel, which continues from where Truly Madly ended. How the two characters deal with the fact that they are now on the lovers level, the challenges they face and if they can compromise and try to work out the differences. It also introduces two more characters to the story.

13. Anything that you’d like to share.

I’d like to  share some links I can be found loitering about. Please feel free to visit and email. Would love to hear from you.
