What are you working on next?
Having just completed Book 2 of the 'Safe In His Arms' series, I am working on the first draft of the third and last book of the series. The tentative title is "Look Behind You," but that may change. I will be taking readers back to the fictional town of Elmsmere, Virginia, although
most of the action will take place at a fishing and hunting lodge a few miles outside town. This book will definitely keep you up at night, so I suggest reading it with lots of lights on in the house! Hope you'll join me in Elmsmere for more action and excitement!

How do you discover the ebooks you read?
There are two types of books I enjoy reading: romance (both contemporary and historical) and suspense thrillers. Of course, I have a few favourite authors which I check up on regularly to see if they've published anything new, but otherwise, I search book sites under the two genres I most enjoy reading and go from there.
What book marketing techniques have been most effective for you?
That is a tough question to answer. Writing is fun, exciting, challenging. Marketing is awful! Before publishing my first novel, I was a 'closet writer.' No one, save my husband and daughter, knew of my passion for writing. To finally decide to put myself out there for the world to read my work had to have been the most gut-wrenching thing I've ever done. Now that I'm a published author, I know I can't stop there. I have to push on endlessly to publicize my books and hope readers will pick up one of my novels and fall in love with it! Not easy, but worth every minute!
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I am Canadian-born and raised. Love my country. But I also love to travel. My husband and I spend a few months every year (we're both retired) travelling in the southern United States. Having visited various cities on the way to our southern destinations has provided me with endless ideas for future books. I love the south and hope that comes through in the books I write.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
That's an easy one! I'm basically a control freak. It would be extremely painful for me to put one of my books into someone else's hands and then have them suggest 500 or so changes I should make to it.
