INSPIRATION AND MUSE

If you could live in any fictional universe/world what would it be?

Sookie Stackhouse’s Bon Temps. And I’d be a shifter.

If you could have lunch with any author dead or alive whom would it be and why?

Susan Howatch because I love her books and I think she’d be really interesting to talk to.

If you were locked in a room for 48 hours and forced to watch one TV show the entire time, which television series would you choose?

Rome. Gotta love all that nudity, sex and violence.

What is the most outrageous or bizarre thing you have done in the name of “research”?

A few years ago when I was flirting with writing historicals, I discussed rouging nipples with a librarian.

What is your latest release?

Allegra Fairweather: Paranormal Investigator.

What inspired you to write said story/book?

I’ve always been fascinated by myths and legends. Add my love of kickass heroines and you have the basis for the book. Oh, did I mention Allegra’s gorgeous guardian angel? It’s great fun to create a cute hero.

Fab Five

• Coffee or Tea?   Coffee although oddly enough I hate coffee cream chocolates. Go figure.
• Chocolate or Vanilla?   Chocolate

• Meatie or Veggie? Bit of both.
• Salty or Sweet?   Salty.

Last but not Least

Three words that describe you:  Good sense of humor   (Oops, that’s four words!)
