December 19-January 19: Goodreads giveaway for Don’t Look Back What was your favorite or most surprising comment/review about the book? A reviewer said that my story kept her on the edge of her seat. It made me feel good because that’s what I want to do. If given a chance, which author (living or dead) would you like to meet (have met) and why? Margaret Mitchell. She wrote Gone with the Wind. Do I need to say more? If your book was made into a movie, who would you cast as which characters? Kelly Giddish as Kellyn, Tom Selleck as Blake, Jason Beghe as Dalton, Molly Hagan as Sam and Enrique Iglesias as Madison When and why did you decide to become a writer? My parents gave me a portable typewriter for Christmas when I was 12. I started a novel then but never finished. I wrote short stories and poems throughout my teens. Life took over and it wasn’t until about four years ago a good friend and author convinced me to start writing again. I began working on my first novel, When the Morning Comes, in 2013, but I kept changing it and putting it away until early 2016. I focused and I finally finished and published When the Morning Comes (Book One in the Land’s End Series) in late April of 2016. What other jobs have you held? I was a secretary for 10 years, then a sales agent for 3 and I’ve been a homemaker for 21 years. What are you working on next and when do you expect it to be on the shelves? I’m working on Book three, as yet untitled and I hope to publish by May of 2017 Are you traditionally published or self-published and why? Self-published. I can set my own deadlines. Do you belong to any writer’s groups? Which ones and how have they helped you? I just recently joined the Mystery Thriller Week group. Everyone that I’ve had contact with has been super supportive. If you were going to dabble in a different genre, what would it be? Southern humor
