Tell us about yourself?
I am a grown up caught in an imaginary world of fiction. I create worlds with real living people in them out of thin air. What some people call a job, I call it a great time. I love what I do and put in as many hours as I can just for the sheer joy of being a part of all this. I am getting married in February to the same man I married in 1983. I have three kids, all grown and five cats, two of who are my best friends. They feel the same way.
What's your favorite place to read?
Bed with my phone/kindle.
What are some of your reading pet peeves?
Stories that don't follow the cannon they established. If your vampire can fly on page one, then, unless it was explained, he better be able to fly on the last page.
I don't ever think I was "motivated" to write a book. There is this story brewing, a character walks in and raises his hand. It's a natural progression, as well as courtesy to the characters, to start typing what they say. If I don't write his/her story, no one ever will. So I type. I love typing.
