The Interview

1.Tell us about your writing - What genre do you prefer to write? What books, stories, other publications that you've written are your personal favorites? Anything new coming up?
I write romance, mostly Regency historical romance, which is the time period of Jane Austen. Asking me to choose a favorite publication is like asking me to choose a favorite child. I love them all. But I always seem to love my latest works the most, probably because I’m a bit more deeply attached to the recent ones. I have written book 1 for a new series which I have recently submitted to my editor. It’s sorta of Sabrina meets Pride and Prejudice.
 
2. What about you as a person? What do you do to relax? Hobbies?
I love to read—it’s relaxing and a great escape from stress. I enjoy long walks and short hikes and I really love to swim. I also sing and play the harp. Oh, and I adore dancing—especially ballroom dancing.
 
3. What gets your creative juices going? Do you write to a music, and do you want to share your playlist?
I don’t have a ritual to put me in the mood to write but I do like to listen to instrumental music when I write—no lyrics or drum beat. I prefer harp and piano music and chamber music. If I’m having trouble getting through a scene or a round of edits, I indulge in chocolate. Dove works well because it comes in little bite-sized pieces that I can pop in my mouth if I get really stuck or stressed. It’s hard to be stressed with a mouth full of chocolate.
