When did you start writing?

I first published on Amazon in April 2021.

What was it like growing up?

I loved reading horror. I remember sitting in my room and reading for hours because I would get stuck in a book and unable to put it down. And when I found out they were having a writing competition in school, I entered with a vampire story. I won the Young Author’s award and continued to write short stories, but life caught up with me, and I stopped writing for years until my children were old enough to take care of themselves for the most part.

How was your early life?

I loved to draw at a very young age, and I learned how to play the violin at age seven. I was winning competitions by ten years old, but I still loved to write and read horror stories. I’m also a cancer survivor. I was born with one of the rarest cancers in the world, so I went to St. Jude Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where they saved my life.

What has been the biggest influence in your career?

My dreams. I have a goal to publish 100 works within five years.

Tell us about your newest release.

The Lake Part 3 is the finale of The Lake Trilogy. Laura is forced to return to Haven because she must fight the monster or die.

Which book of yours would you call your favorite child?

I love them all, but the one that brings tears to my eyes every time is, It Had To Be You.

What inspired you to write this book?

I had a vivid dream about it and then woke up and created something beautiful.

What are you usually found doing when you’re not writing?

Making earrings, listening to music, making covers, art, etc. I also love to do things with my husband and children.

What does your writing space look like?

I sit on my couch with a blanket and usually a cat. The laptop is on my lap, and either music is playing or there is complete silence.

If you wrote your autobiography, what would you name it?

Miracles really do happen.

How long did it take to write your novel, and what was your process?

Usually, it takes a week or two, but my first novel took a year in my spare time. I didn’t publish it for a couple of years because I didn’t think anyone would want to read it, but with the constant prodding of my mom and sister, I finally did.

Favorite reads?

IT, by Stephen King, Anne Rice, V.C. Andrews, Dean Koontz

Do you have any book recommendations?

Phantoms, by Dean Koontz

What’s your next big project?

I am working on Just Love Me, the first book in the Bad Behavior series about a serial killer who kills her parents because of abuse, and then years later, she goes to bars and kills the men who love her, even if for only a few moments.

Do you have any advice for aspiring authors?

Keep going, and never let anyone push you down. Just remember that you can’t please everyone.
