Where are you from: I’m from the midwest of the United States of America
A little about your self `ie your education Family life etc – I’m an ex-accountant, office manager. I’m married with three children, two boys and a girl. We also have two miniature black and tan dachshunds. We live in the middle of the woods on a lake which suits my nature.
Fiona: Tell us your latest news?
The big news is that I have been asked by Siren Publishing to become an exclusive author. And I have accepted.
Fiona: When and why did you begin writing?
I actually became unemployed last year and thought what the heck. I sat down and wrote a story. I then followed the directions for submitting to Siren Publishing. And the rest is history.
Fiona: When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I think I started to believe it was real around book 10.
Fiona: What inspired you to write your first book?
I was watching the news and saw a house being swept away by a flooding river. I thought about what would happen if there was a group of experts that could come in and help. Rescue for Hire was born.
Fiona: Do you have a specific writing style?
I don’t know. I write the way I think and make sure it isn’t boring.
Fiona: How did you come up with the title?
Out of thin air.
Fiona: Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
One character was kidnapped and abused. He vowed to never be a victim again, no matter what. Even though he was kidnapped again and abused, he wouldn’t succumb to being a victim. He fought against his attacker the whole way. I hope someone reading it in whatever situation they are in, can realize they can fight and not be a victim.
Fiona: How much of the book is realistic?
Other than the paranormal series, I try to keep it pretty real.
Fiona: Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
Some, all, none and a few.
Fiona: What book are you reading now?
I’m reading one by Skye Michaels, Sean Michaels and Helen Bruch Pearson
Fiona: What are your current projects?
I am working on Lubirea Mia 3. This is about a bigoted lion shifter and a very stubborn human. The readers will get an inside look at the big cat council in this one.
Fiona: Do you see writing as a career?
I hope so. I’m going to give it my best shot.
Fiona: If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest book?
My latest book is Rescue for Hire 6 – Gabriel’s Pretty turned out pretty good. Maybe I would explain the epilogue happened 6 months after the original story. Although in the next story it is explained.
Fiona: Can you share a little of your current work with us?
Here is a snippet :
Prologue
One year earlier during a mate sealing ritual between Samuel, Simon’s brother, and Riley.
Taking Riley’s hand, Samuel went over and stood on the soft white rug. Riley positioned himself in front of him and Samuel put his arms around his lubirea mai, pulling his back solidly against Samuel’s front. Samuel braced himself as Simon came toward them, his green eyes glowing.
Simon reached out his hands, ready to place them on lubirea mai symbols on their chests. The tips of his fingers were mere millimeters from their skin, when Riley spoke.
“Simon Craydon, I wish with all my heart that when you meet your mate, he or she will refuse to bow down to you until you’ve bowed to them first.”
Simon’s fingers froze for just a moment and white light burst in his blazing green eyes. The next moment the palms of his hands connected with the blurry scarred lubirea mai symbols on their chests. “Lion cat to human, human to lion cat. You are now united, becoming one in heart, soul and body. It is what is and what will be. For eternity and a day.” Simon’s deep voice echoed in the vast still room.
Fiona: Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Just when I conquer on habit a new one develops. Sighs.
Fiona: Who designed the covers?
The awesome Harris Channing
Fiona: Do you have any advice for other writers?
Learn the game of promotion. Don’t assume because you have a book published you are going to sell a million copies. It takes putting in the time to promote your book and yourself.
Fiona: Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
Thank you with all my heart.
Fiona: Do you remember the first book you read?
See Dick and Jane
Fiona: Is there one person pass or present you would
To meet and why? I would love to meet my grandfather who died when my mother was 2 years old. I feel a connection with him when hearing all the stories about him. I would love to see and hear how he thinks. He was quite a successful man, but died on July 4th when he was only 52.
Fiona: Other than writing do you have any hobbies ?
Reading, camping, fishing, knitting, crocheting and reading.
Fiona: What TV shows/films do you enjoy watching?
I like reality TV, The Big Bang Theory and Criminal Minds.
