Would this be my own fictional world or another fictional world I’ve read? If my own, I’d like visit the Pararealm from the Guardians of Magic series. If someone else’s fictional world, I’d have to say Percy Jackson. I’ve been fascinated with Greek mythology since I was a kid. I’d want to train with the rest of the demigods. Thanks for the question!

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to read much this summer. Between a strict deadline, a new grandchild, and personal projects, my summer was full. I am back to reading a little bit now, but currently, I’m reading nonfiction books on plotting and outlining.

I'm sorry but I don't write horror books.

This is a hard one, but I'd have to say all time favorite couple is Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara. (Gone with the Wind & Scarlett.) They couldn't stand each other at first, got under each other's skin, but in the end they fall in love. The road to their happiness was riffled with many obstacles that would cause most couples to split. Love triumphed. I'm a sucker for books and characters with a "love conquers all theme". Thank you for you question!

There are two more books planned for a total of 6 by series end. Currently, I do not have a definitive date for the next release. My goal is to start writing over the summer. I just finished the first book in a new series and will be finishing the second book in the Mystique Antiques series before I dig in to Soulmate #5. Thank you for your question!

My current work in progress is a short story I'm revising into a full length novel. It's loosely based on events I've experienced in my life.

Most days I just sit down and begin writing. On days when I'm less motivated, I listen to music, take a walk, or soak in the tub. I don't know why, but water seems to unblock me.

Write every day, even when you don't feel like it. You can edit words you created on a 'bad writing day', but you can't edit a blank page.

Creating something from nothing. I love taking a passing thought and creating into something that will transport readers into another time and place.

I either listen to music, take a hot bath, a walk in the woods, or I'll hop in the car and take a drive. Inspiration always hits when I least expect it and normally when I'm busy with something else.

My current work in progress is Heartstrings. Originally released as a short story in a Valentine's Day anthology, Heartstrings follows the life of Jocelyn 'Jo' Hayes and her brother, Brighton. Jo's been involved in a horrible accident which she can't remember. Not only has she lost her memories, she's lost the use of her hand. How can a pianist survive without the use of her hand?
