What inspired you to write?
I started writing when I was seven after my father died. I mostly wrote poems then. My mom has always had this amazing gift to put words to paper. She inspired me. Anytime something significant happens in her life she writes it down. I started keeping a journal when I was young because I wanted to be like her. My journal became stories.
Are you a reader? What are some of your favorites?
I love to read. My favorite books are Jigsaw Man by Gord Rolo, Obsession by John Douglas and anything Thomas Harris writes.
What is your newest work, and what is going to happen in the future?
I have a new book coming out on October 31. It is the second book in the series The Devil Wore A Brown Suit. The new book is Queen of Hell. I have started working on another series Memoirs of Murder.

What influenced you as a writer?
The first book I read was Carrie. I knew I wanted to be a writer. Carrie started my love affair with books. Books are my lifesource. I cannot live without them. I wanted to give someone what had been given to me. Books are an escape pod. We pick up a book and we go on a great adventure. I hope I can do that for someone.
Do you prefer a normal book or ebook?
Audible. I love audible books. I can listen in the car instead of the radio. I have ebooks for on-the-go reading and I have paperbacks for when I need to curl up and read. If I really love the book, I will have the ebook, the paperback and the audible.
