AUTHOR INTERVIEW
1.
Tell us a little about yourself and your
background? Born in Philadelphia, I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband
and rescue kitty. I enjoy writing in the
romantic suspense, suspense, and mystery genres, but when not writing, I can be
found reading or playing amateur photographer. Inside Christian fiction, I
bring an “average” family into extraordinary situations, brush with life-size
strokes of reality, adding just a touch of humor, and coat with suspense. It is
my goal to do enough research that I can give readers a panoramic view from
inside law enforcement to provide character authenticity.
2.
Which writers inspire you? Many writers have
drawn me into their character's world, and it was their stories that ignited my
writer's spark.
3.
So, what have you written? Tell us all about
REVENGE: As a job coach, it’s up to Olivia Foster to ensure her clients work in

4.
Give us an insight into your main character.
What does he/she do that is so special? Olivia Foster has a caring heart and is
willing to sacrifice herself when she makes plans to bring her missing client
home.
5.
Which actor/actress would you like to see
playing the lead character from REVENGE? I can see Kristen Stewart as Olivia
Foster, and I’d vote for James Franco to play Detective Lt. Phillip Landon!
6.
What draws you to inspirational romance/romantic
suspense? Faith and romance is a solid
foundation and a wonderful story but adding suspense is a mystery lovers dream!
7.
What are you working on at the moment? Revenge
was not crafted as a series, but these secondary characters are practically
demanding their own stories. I’m finishing up a separate romantic suspense
story. Also, I’m sitting on a mystery
that’s into the rewrite stage.
8.
When did you decide to become a writer? Writing
flowed from years of reading as a child, and I often thought up stories even as
a youngster. However, I didn’t actively
start to consider this a serious endeavor until much later in life, during a
period of convalesce. It was my husband who encouraged me to write my stories
in earnest.
9.
Where do the your ideas come from? I enjoy
photography and could be considered amateur at best, and I’m not sure when or
even how, but writing and pics became a blended pair. Now, I must say not all of my stories come
from or with photos, and sometimes, a perfect photo can’t always link a scene,
but my muse tends to sketch a story from a picture, even if story doesn’t
exactly link to that photo. For
instance, Revenge, came from a photo that showed only conveyer belts and one
worker assisting another. It could have
been in anyplace and at anytime, but when I saw the photo a theme came to light
. . . assistance. It’s something
everyone needs, at times. My thoughts automatically spiraled through “what ifs”
scenarios and my story sketch was born.
10.
Do you work according to an outline or are you a
pantser? Mostly a pantser! Sometimes, I
know exactly where my story is going, but most times, I have only a loose idea
and am surprised as things happen. I
sketch my characters out, but they don’t always stick to my plans. For example, in Revenge, Olivia Foster was
supposed to be a damsel in distress while the Police detective was drafted as
an Alpha male. What happened? Olivia became daring and not one to be led,
and the lead man decided that his background needed to be front and center,
making him pensive, brooding, and someone I didn’t know.
