The Interview

1-What inspired the idea for Fatal Memories?
I’m a full time RV’er and spend the winter months in southern Arizona near Nogales. A report of drug tunnels beneath the city sparked the idea for the story but I also wanted to capture this unique climate and location. I think I fell in love with it! 
2-What did you as an author take away from writing Fatal Memories?
I come from a loving family and I have four children and many grandchildren. I’ve always thought how difficult life would be if my family was stripped from me. So I spent a lot of time exploring Joss and Dylan’s emotions as they dealt with the loss of their family and support system. What I came away with was a reinforcement of how important it is to treat your family as you would yourself.
3-What is your current WIP?  What can you tell us about it?
Well, the title of my current work in progress is set California’s central valley and is about a deadly pathogen that can kill the world’s crops. The heroine is searching for a cure but a terrorist group is trying to kidnap her. The hero must protect her and her baby. It’s called Killer Harvest.
4-What top 5 books are currently on your TBR pile?
Who had time to read? Just kidding. I always have books lined up but right now I’m only reading research books for my next WIP. But I have a Hannah Alexander book on my list when I finish.
5-What are some of your favorite summer activities?
Traveling. Since I live in an RV, we hit the road in the summer. I love staying in a location where we can dig into the history and the culture. I have some great story ideas from our traveling.
