One thing from my childhood that I will always remember is just being able to run the streets, and play all over town without any worries or trouble. It was a freedom of small town living that doesn’t really exist now.

My grandmother and mother are my biggest inspirations in life. They are both strong women that taught me how to love.

It took me about 6 months to write my first novel because I was only writing on and off when I felt like it. I learned a lot the editing process that I had no idea about. There can be several rounds of editing that can be very tedious.

I can say that I would never write about my own personal life although I am “inspired” by my own experiences sometimes.

Yes, I absolutely believe that love at first sight happens. If so, has it ever happened to you? I can honestly say that I don’t remember not ever loving my husband, and we first met I felt a connection to him immediately, so yes it has happened to me.

There are several different topics that I would like to write about, one being overcoming abuse or an abusive situation. I hope my readers get to relax and enjoy the story. I want my books to be a getaway, something that is entertaining.

I researched mostly on the internet, so I’m sure my search history is questionable lol, but that is usually where I go since I don’t know any mobsters or FBI agents personally. The other stuff just comes from books, movies, TV, and my imagination.

Korrine was a lot more sensitive and a little naïve, whereas Chase was always head strong and independent. What are some similarities between these two women? The similarities between the characters are that they are both strong women who care a great deal about their loved ones. They also both evolved in character as their stories developed.

No, my siblings don’t read my books. I have two younger brothers, so they don’t particularly read romance novels.

I think I would like to explore the paranormal genre. It’s completely different, and I absolutely love science fiction.

Music always makes me smile. The right song can brighten my mood so fast.

I believe getting involved in different groups not just for promotion, but to socialize with readers can make a big difference. I also think having a website is a good idea, and it’s something that I’m working on creating.

I think talent is a must have, but both practice and experience are important as well. I’ve definitely gotten better with each book, and I don’t make some of the mistakes that I made in the past.

I was born and raised in a small town in Oklahoma by a single mother. I am the oldest of 3 kids and the only girl. It was hard growing up in a town where I was the only black female in my class in school. However, growing up in that way gave me an opportunity to truly learn what tolerance was.

I love being a writer. I never imagined being able to write something that other people enjoyed.

I’ve been writing since I was a kid. I loved to write poetry and short stories. But I wrote my first full length novel in 2015 and had it published in the same year. I was inspired by other authors and I decided to just go for it.

I love mysteries and romance, so the story came naturally to me. Once I started writing, it just flowed from there.

I want my characters to be as real as possible, so their names are usually a play on someone I actually know or been in contact with.

My series just happen. I have a plan for my book once I think of an idea, but I like standalone novels when I read them, so that’s what I usually end up writing.

I like to tell stories that I would want to read, and hopefully other people enjoy them too.

I get writer’s block sometimes, and I just step away from that story and come back when inspiration strikes but I do my best not to force a story.

I always have a reader in mind. Because I’m such a fangirl of IR, I love to keep romance readers in mind when I write.

My husband is usually the first person to read my first drafts, although he is not an avid romance reader, I know that he will tell me like it is.

To tell the truth reviews are my biggest mystery. I still don’t know how other authors get so many. I suspect the ones that I do get come from social media promotion, but I’m still working on building my fan base and getting more reviews.

The word story means something that I can weave and build for the enjoyment of myself and others.

I don’t think an author should be put in a box. I love diversity in an author. If a person can write different types of Genre, that is a talent that anyone should appreciate (although I am not that author. Lol)

I just finished my third novel, and I hope readers enjoy it as much as they did the other two.

I don’t really have a special time or place for writing. If something comes to me, I just start writing. If I’m somewhere that I don’t have my computer or a notebook, I type notes in my phone.

Most of my promotion is done through social media. I am a very new author, so I am still finding ways to put myself out there. Hopefully QuotesRain will help my book to be seen by people that I wouldn’t necessarily come into contact with. I already have referred this platform to my author friends.

I would like to share the fact that I love writing fictional stories. I write because it is fun and a way to relax and share something with people all over the world. I want readers to know that I do my best to write stories that will entertain them, and hopefully I get better with every word that I write.
