TB: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? I’m a Canadian girl who loves to create stories. My creations run the range from short stories to full length novels. They run from semi-sweet romances to full-blown steamy erotica. I read such a variety of genres, that I write a variety of things. I’m a wife, mother and grandmother. I love spending my time camping with the family and cannot resist a campfire of any size. TB: Was there a certain time in your life you knew you wanted to write? I started writing when I was in university. Back then, I wrote poetry. Hideous awful poetry. At some point I migrated to romance. I cringe at the first novel I submitted. My writing has improved a lot since then. I’ve learned that stories need a plot and realistic characters. TB: What are you currently working on? I’m currently working on a cozy romance, a thriller and a contemporary romance series. TB: Of the books you’ve written, which one is your favorite and why? My favorite, so far, is Saving Grace. Grace is part of my Heart’s Haven series. She’s my favorite because she’s the most real to me. She’s hugely flawed as a person; loaded with resentment and insecurity and can’t make a decision over anything. She is, in a lot of ways, me. Grace has an enormous growth curve and matures considerably in the book. And her hero, Sterling? He’s amazing and patient and such a fabulous father. He’s my book boyfriend. ♥♥♥
