1.How
and why did you choose your book covers?
I try to find covers that are linked to the
story without revealing too much. For the books “Viewings”, “At Hidden Lake”,
and “Wings to Whispers”, I drew the covers myself. Some day I may go back and
do that for all of the 40 books.
2. If
you had to choose a recipe that reflected one of your books, what would it be?
Definitely I would have to find a recipe
for the short story collections “Visitations” and “Wings to Whispers” A
heavenly dessert, because the books are both collections of loved ones who have
passed away and are trying to reach us from the other side.
3. If
you had the chance to spend the day with one of your characters, who would it
be and why?
I would say Joshua in the book
“Obligations”. He had a near death experience that took him to the other side
and back again. Something evil followed behind. Now, Joshua can see spirits and
people’s auras. I am fascinated by auras and think it would be amazing to be
able to see them and decide what they truly mean. If we could see a person’s
aura we would have an idea about what makes them tick. I think sitting down
with Joshua as he learns about not only auras, but communicating with spirits,
or angels, would be fascinating. I hope readers feel that when they read the
story.
4. What
do you find the most challenging thing about being an author?
That would have to be promoting. Trying to
get your book out where others can find it and grab it to read is a challenge.
I am not a salesman and had no idea how to even do this. Luckily for me, I had
other authors to help and a son that is computer savvy. A skill I lack. If I
didn’t have to promote I would be happy to just write. After 40 in 45 months, I
think that part of this journey has gone well and I love the amazing reviews I
have received.
5. If
money was no object and you could travel to any place in the world for your
dream vacation where would you go and what would you do?
I have two places I would love to see,
first Ireland and then Australia. Both places seem to me to be fascinating and
rich with scenery. I would love to sit and write books in either place. I think
the scenery in the books makes the story interesting. I am lucky to live in
North West Montana filled with Lakes, Trees and Mountains and use the landscape
in a lot of the books. I also have lived in Utah and Idaho and add those
locations in a few. In the book “Tunnels”, the group travels down a highway
from Montana to Idaho, a road I have traveled often. In the book “Mystic
Valley” the location is a place in Utah I know the government did a lot of
hiding of secrets. So, I used that location to set up the sci-fi conspiracy. In
“At Hidden Lake”, I used Montana because I watched a TV special about how
Hitler may have hid gold and treasure near Glacier Park, Montana, where I live.
6. Tell
us about your publishing experience. Did you always intend to be traditionally
published or indie published?
I thought about traditional publishing, but
because I write books so quickly, I decided to indie publish. It seems to be
the best for me. If I had to wait for a traditional publisher to get back to
me, I would probably still be on book one and my nerves would be shot.
I am just blessed to have great readers who will
read one book, like it, and then go back for another. That is such a compliment
and repeat readers have a special place in my heart. I have been very lucky
with reviewers. With over 360 reviews, only 4 have been below a three. Five
have been threes, and the rest four and five stars, that is awesome and
inspiring. If readers would like to see
