Interview
Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to
Grasp?
Happy endings do exist,
but we must be willing to fight for them. In Taking Chances, Katie Fitzgerald
could have continued to guard herself from future heartache. But where would
that have left her?
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your
writing?
There are two things really. I never have enough time to write. Like many
independent authors, I have a full-time job outside of writing. I also have a
family. I struggle with external conflict. A lot!
How many books have you written and which is your favorite?
I
have written and released two. The third is half way completed. My first,
Coming Home, will always have a huge emotional attachment. I originally wrote
it in 2002 while awaiting the adoption of our daughter from Russia.
If You had the chance to cast your main character from Hollywood today, who would you pick and why?
I
would pick Patrick Dempsey to play Flynn Reynolds. I have always had a huge
crush on him, and the whole doctor connection doesn’t hurt.
When did you begin writing?
I began writing in 2002 but
quickly traded that manuscript for new motherhood. Many years passed before I
thought to take it out and dust it off.
How long did it take to complete your first book?
I
wrote the first version of Coming Home in three weeks. Of course, that was many
years and versions ago. In total, it took 15 years.
Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?
There isn’t any one
author who inspired me to become one. I read voraciously and love many authors.
I do try to adopt bits and pieces of many authors’ styles into my writing.
What is your favorite part of the writing process?
My favorite part is
never knowing where the story will take me. I sit at my laptop and am
constantly amazed by what unfolds. It drives people crazy, which just makes it
more appealing.
Describe your latest book in 4 words.
A
good beach read!
Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is
in the future for your writing?
My novels are part of a series set in the mythical town of Windsor Falls,
NC. I foresee maybe seven or eight books total. I’m already dreaming of the
next series which will be set at the beach. Think Oak Island, NC.
