- Can you, for those who don't know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
My writing journey started in
2012. I used to read quite a bit. I ended up reading the Hunger Game Trilogy
three times (in a row!) and couldn’t decide what I wanted to tackle next. So I
decided to try my hand at writing.
Where were you born/grew up at?
- I was born and raised in suburban Chicago, but you would never guess that now. Other than an abiding love for Cubs baseball and Bears football, I’m long detached from Chicago. I moved to Missouri years ago and spend most of my weekends out in the country.
- What are you passionate about these days?
Bourbon. Lots of other
things too, like my family, of course.
It’s back to school time, which has been a nice but strange change from
the last six months with everyone at home. In terms of other hobbies or
passions, I have a soft spot for quiet places, hiking, fishing…. Mostly
outdoorsy things and some woodworking.
I’ve also been experimenting with sandblasting custom art/names/logos on
metal cups and glass.
- Describe yourself in 5 words or less!
Thorough, hard-worker, dedicated, quiet/reserved,
regimented. Probably not the normal
recipe for a creative person, but it works okay for me.
- When did you first consider yourself a writer?
Probably sometime in 2013.
I started putting together a couple novels in 2012, and spend most of
that year figuring out how to write effectively. It was a steep learning curve,
but I worked hard at it. By the end of 2012 I had a couple books finished, and
one represented by an indie publisher. That’s when it started to feel real.
- Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
I’ve actually just adapted Whiskey Thief into a screenplay. I’ve recently entered a few contests with the
hope that maybe I can catch a break. Fingers and toes crossed on that, though I
don’t really expect much to come of it. But I think it would make a great suspenseful
thriller.
When
their Kentucky bourbon tour takes a turn for the worse, two engaged
couples join up with strangers to seek shelter in the ruins of an old
distillery. Grace encounters more than abandoned spirits on the
decaying property, bringing her semi-comfortable world crashing
down.
Tensions
pull at the group, splintering the couples into teams. Only it’s
hard for Grace to know what side to be on when bonds are tested, and
opposites no longer attract. Questions abound. Who really are the
strangers they paired up with? Should she break convenient bonds for
a risky one? Then again, does it even matter if they don’t make it
out alive?

It’s
been six long months since Grace’s world turned upside down. She
unexpectedly finds herself back in bourbon country with Vince,
dredging up memories barely concealed. Anxiety builds when a
mysterious stranger shadows them, but it’s her own indecisiveness
that first leads to misadventure.
Just
like a flight of unfamiliar bourbons, Grace can only wonder if each
of her trials will unleash a rot gut burn or a warm Kentucky Hug.
More likely a mixture of both.

After
another nine solid months, things couldn’t be going much better for
Grace. Life has settled into a comfortable routine. So, of course,
she’s headed back to bourbon country with Vince. Maybe not the
destination wedding she’d been dreaming about more recently, but
the venue couldn’t be any more perfect. Or so they
thought.
Wedding
day should be a joyous occasion for the couple, but nothing is ever
easy for them—especially when a manhunt locks down the venue and
spirits flow from sleeping barrels.

Wow, psychological thriller and romantic suspense together, so awesome. I'm so excited to read this series. I love the covers, even though I haven't been much of a drinker in many years.
