The Story Behind The Stories
Healing Lance Character Profile - Gust
While I always have affection for every character I create, whether hero or villain, I have to say that I was delightfully surprised and gratified with the final incarnation of Gust.

Healing Lance Character Profile - Lance

I love shape-shifter romances and wanted to try my hand at it. I didn't have a set plan about writing a series until the second or third book, and then I couldn't be stopped! LOL. With this series I wanted to mix all the things I loved into one place: paranormal, supernatural, magic, etc.

My very first published book, A Giant’s Friend, is a novella that holds a special place in my heart. It opened the world of publishing for me. However, since it was my first, it wasn’t my best. It was still a bit rough, and I should have spent more time cultivating the story.
Author Interview: Writing Process
For me, inspiration comes in every form—from movies, to books, to daily life, to stray thoughts of “what if?” So once I have the inspiration, I let it simmer and make some notes. I have notepads in every room of my home and even some at my day job, so I am never without the ability to jot down my thoughts.
Author Interview
Here are a few quick-fire questions to get a sense of me and what I write. This list was compiled using guest interviews/blogs I’ve written over the years. I decided to present the most relevant ones. Enjoy!
Why I Write
I’ve been writing on and off for most of my life and my first published story was in 2011. Since then I have learned so much about the craft of writing. And the one thing that underwent the most evolution—besides my skill itself—is the reason behind my writing.
