Can you, for those who don't
know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
I’m a freelance travel writer and
have written travel books, and travel articles for the last fifteen years. My
favorite books to read are full of twisty suspense, and if they have a beach,
an island, or an ocean in the setting, I’m in. I guess you write what you love
to read, and both of my published books have settings by the ocean, intertwined
with unique places to visit. My debut novel, A Deep Thing, was
traditionally published by a small press less than five years ago. My new
release, Pseudocide, is independently published by my publishing
company, Books with Soul® Press. Books With Soul has published over 400 gift
books, including children’s books, travel books and inspirational journals.
What is something unique/quirky about you?
I work remotely from
the beautiful Sea of Cortez in Mexico and the desert of Arizona. For my first
book, A Deep Thing, I dove the beautiful cenotes of the Yucatan, so I
could accurately write about them in my novel. My husband and I took 99
vacations in three years, and I wrote a book about how it is possible on a
working budget.
Where were you born/grew up at?
I grew up in a small Western Pennsylvania town outside of
Pittsburgh. Although, I have lived in over ten states and two countries.
If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your
last day?
Wow, that’s a tough question to answer, unless I could be
like the main character in my book, Pseudocide and just fake my death
and start all over again.
What are you passionate about these days?
Kindness, traveling, and sunsets. If I’m not on the water, in
the water, or walking on the beach, I’m probably looking at the water. Now that
traveling is back, I am passionate about my quest to step foot on every
continent and explore this planet. I’m slowly getting there.
What do you do to unwind and relax?
I love to stream twisty series or movies especially if they
have an island or beach in them. I think there should be more series and movies
with boats, oceans and unique destinations. That goes for books as well.
Describe yourself in 5 words or less!
Beach lover writer who loves kindness…whoops that’s six.
Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
I can imagine my first novel, A Deep Thing, would make
a great twisty adventure thriller, complete with islands, diving, and a college
campus with a secret tunnel underneath. My second novel Pseudocide, I
imagine as a young adult series, with gorgeous bay settings, thick green woods,
and the shiny lights of Las Vegas.
An intriguing cover and synopsis, this sounds like an excellent read. Thank you for sharing the book details and author's guest post
