1) What's the best way to handle a bully?
Public shaming. In my husband’s case, he threw a chair at the bully and was left alone. In my children’s case, they made known that they know Krav Maga. Neither has been bullied since.
2) What inspired you to write?
Boredom. I had the option to play games for hours with nothing to show for it, or I could write the repeating dream to get it out of my head. That novel is with a publisher now.
3) If you could gain advice from your favorite author, who would you choose and what would you ask?
Johanna Lindsey or Anna Carven: how do they stay so motivated, and what sort of daily writing routine do/did they have? Also, I'd love to know how they got their big breaks?

4) When writing as a beginner, what is the one advice a publisher/agent/editor gave you that impacted your writing style?

There are so many. To write in deep point-of-view, for one. No head-hopping, show vs tell, the usual.
5) What's the best way to enjoy a rainy day?
In front of my desk, rain or shine, writing. I’d like to finish all my WIP before I die.
6) What's your dream vacation?
Sitting at a table writing with an almond cappuccino and a view in front of me. Savanna/beach/city skyline, it doesn’t matter as long as I am writing.
7) If you could hang out with your favorite celeb for a day, who would you choose and what would you do?

I don’t have a favorite celeb. If you asked about a fictitious character, it would be Geralt of Rivia. The stories he could tell!
8) What's a good piece of advice for a newcomer?
Pay for an editor on your first novel. Mine helped me out so much. I didn’t know about Deep POV, showing vs telling, one chapter per POV, adverb/passive voice abuse, limiting my dialogue tags, Oxford comma, etc.
9) What's your favorite snack?
Popcorn, my kryptonite.
10) What's your favorite holiday and why?
Ascension Day because Christ is risen.
11) What are you currently working on?
My current WIP? Check out Bits and Bobs. I don't need to be updating multiple places on my website :P
