What
inspired you to write this particular story (and/or series)?
Closure
is about an elite FBI Internet Security Task Force tracking a serial Internet
Predator. My years of dedicated volunteering with the schools gave me the idea
for Closure. Our School Council held cyber safety seminars with our local
police to help educate parents on Internet Safety for their children. Then I
intertwined my love for romance and suspense into the idea.

Describe
your writing in three words.
Engaging ~Intense ~Romance
·
Do
you have specific techniques you use to develop the plot and stay on track?
My
mind never stops…characters, plots and settings are constant in my thoughts. I
love to create a story that will pull you in and build characters to fall in
love with. I start with the major plot and I enjoy building the twists and
turns as I write.
·
Are
your characters in the book based on anyone you know?
No, but they become people I feel I know.
·
Was
there any research involved in your work?
Yes. I used the knowledge I gained from Cyber
Safety seminars and research involving Internet Predators and Crime Task Forces
involved with Internet Security. Also through books and tv shows about crime
investigation.
·
What
authors inspire or influence your work?
Danielle Steele has always inspired my
writing. Her writing pulls you into to fall in love with characters and
settings. Also, Allison Brennan is a master of suspense.
·
Do
you need visual media to describe people or places?
Most of the
visual comes from my mind…how I visualize my characters or where they are and
sometimes it is from memory of a place I have been or would like to go. Then I
would say some visual may come from something I’ve seen or read.

Do
you have a Muse?
·
Once
a character is fully developed do you set them free or do they still dance
around your mind?
A character is never fully developed until
the end of the story and then still they continue to dance.

Share
the biggest hurdles in the marketing process.
It is a huge competitive market and you have
to get your book out there. It is especially hard for a new author to get
noticed but there are so many helpful resources, sites and fellow authors that
are a huge help. I am thankful and blessed with my publisher and fellow authors
for their amazing support and help…and my mom who is my biggest PR!

project(s) are you working on now?
I am editing my second book, Unforgettable
Kiss and almost finished my third book. Besides the endless marketing of
Closure J

Is

I hope they love Closure as much as I do and
I love to hear from them. Their comments and reviews make me smile. I feel
successful when I hear they’ve enjoyed the read J
