Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find your books?

My books are available on Amazon.com, though you can also find information about them on Goodreads.com and BookBub.com.

Where do your ideas come from?

I've had a variety of inspirations. Like many authors, several of my books are loosely based on my life with enhancements and straight-up inventions of places and people. The fantasy series - Reunion - started with a challenge from my husband to write for the National Novel Writing Month, aka NaNoWriMo. That challenge lead to the book, Finding Magic. From there, I created my new world, a new way for magic to work, and set the characters off on their journey to save the world. 

What do you think makes a good book?

I like character-driven writing. I call some of my books "fictional autobiographies" because that's how I write them, as if I'm telling someone's story from their perspective. Writing with a first-person narrator is challenging, because that person has to be "in the room" for every scene and chapter. But mostly, I think you have to care, as a reader, what happens to the characters. Otherwise, why turn the page?


In fantasy, I look also for strong characters, but also magic that has rules. If magic can just do anything, with no restrictions, then the author has no bounds either. I created this idea of organic vs. elemental magic, which led to other interesting dichotomies.

Have you ever thought about audiobooks?

The first audio book will be released at the end of December 2020 - Finding Magic: The Legend of Sorcha and Aidan.
