Tell us about your latest release. The storyline for The Thick of Things came to me because of my job. At the time, I was at a resort working at a golf tournament which included people from other islands. I wondered what would happen if a female volunteer was attracted to one of the players, threw caution to the wind, and did the unexpected. The seed for the novel was born two years ago and germinated over time with the story line expanding and characters being added. Readers have been very receptive to this tale of a forty-something woman finding love again after being steeped in grief from the loss of her son and a pending divorce. The book was released through a publisher in March of this year. I should also mention that I’m part of the Spice anthology, headlined by Naleighna Kai. I’m expecting big things from Sugar and Spice.
