Why did you decide to write romance novels?
I wanted to write science fiction, but the pub-
lish rate was about two percent. Dismal. When
I discovered a “new” genre called science fic-
tion romance, I decided to write my series as
romance novels instead. I’ve since self-
published and have both sci-fi and sci-fi ro-
mance.
How much of your personality and life experi-
ences are in your writing?
Life changes our perspectives. I’d be lying if I
answered this as none.
Tell us about your latest book. What motivated
the story? Where did the idea come from?
Where do your story ideas usually come from?
This story was motivated by the need to under-
stand my villain. Once I started writing his back
story, I realized he wasn’t a villain at all. Ideas
fly at me out the ether. I can’t avoid them.

Do you feel humor
is important in fic-
tion and why?
It’s vital. Bringer of
Chaos: Forged in
Fire is a serious
book with a great
deal of angst. All my
books are. They also
have scenes where you will laugh out loud.
What about your family? Do they know not to
bother you when you are writing, or are there
constant interruptions? Are they, especially
your significant other, supportive of your
work? Do you ever ask them for advice?
My husband is the most supportive man on the
planet. He does not interrupt me but will check
to see if I need anything. You know, like a kiss.
Of course, I always do!
