1). Tell us a little bit of yourself and if you had to describe yourself in three words--what would they be?

I’m a wife, mother and maid--LOL. I’m also a cashier at the 99 cents only store in Porterville, CA. If I had to describe myself in three words. Let’s just say I’m a little demented so I guess that’s more than three words--LOL.

2) You have a lot of titles to your name--how long have you been writing professionally?

I’ve been writing for close to five years now and I enjoy every moment that I do it. VBG.

3) What is the Prisoner of Her Heart about and is it part of a series?

The prisoner of her heart is about two people trying to figure out who they really are after the brief war on Kapnek. After arriving on Earth, Bryant and Elisa went their separate ways, never thinking that they’ll see each other again. Bryant had hoped to continue his education, but something kept happening to him. He would wake up in strange motels and he had blackouts. On top of that, he would find envelopes with credits to his account and nearly ended being killed. Elisa found religion. But during a stormy night, Bryant makes his way toward a church and found Elisa dressed in a nun’s habit. Together they find out what’s really going on with Bryant and true love, only to have an old enemy tear them apart. The Prisoner of her Heart is book two in a three part series. The first book is called Her Imprisoned Heart and book three is called The Captive of Her Heart which is Trou’s story.

4) Which book was your favourite to write and which hero/heroine do you love the most? Why?

I love all of the books I’ve written so it’s hard to choose which one is my favourite. I guess if it really comes right down to it, I have to choose Genie In A Bottle which is being published with Star Dust and was too hot by Wings standards. The two characters I love the most is Bryant and Elisa. They are the characters in The Prisoner of Her Heart. They were two troubled people looking for what they wanted out of life. Together they find out what they wanted out of life and love with each other

5) If you were not an author what would you be?

I really don’t know what I’ll be if I can’t be a writer… <sigh> one thing I do know is that my oldest son Eddie would be a great writer one day. VBG.

6) Who or what inspires you to write?

I have to say my three children inspire me right now. Some of the things they come up with would be great future stories for me to write.

7) What are your thoughts on the current genre of Futuristic/Sci-fi Romance and who are your favourite authors from this genre?

I haven’t been reading much these past few months so I really can’t comment on the current genre and there are too many authors out there, that I really enjoy reading, to list.

8) What is your ambition as an author and what keeps you going?

My greatest ambition right now is to write the greatest story ever written. It also keeps me going.

9) What would be the one thing in the world that would give you the greatest pleasure as an author?

The only thing that would please me as an author is the people who enjoy reading the stories and characters I create.
