BANTER – STUFF ABOUT YOU
Q: How would you
describe yourself as a color? Think personality here. Are you a light and airy
pastel person, or more of a deep, dark, sultry and mysterious color?
A: I would have to
say it ranges from Pink to Red. Somedays, I’m a pink and others a red.
Q: Are you a morning
person, or a midnight candle burner?
A: I’m not a morning
person. In fact, I do not come completely awake until after the first large 20
oz of coffee. I’m more a night owl. I get more work done in the late afternoon
and evening.
Q: Tell me something
you would like your readers (fans) to know about you.
A: I’m a big Sci-Fi
fan and enjoy reading some of the futuristic writing of the 1960s. I really
like Ray Bradbury and Anthony Burgess.
Q: If your life were
a movie, would it be considered an action film, comedy, drama, romance, fantasy
or a combination?
A: I have many people
tell me that at this current time in my life I could be my own Hallmark Movie
Crime Drama. It’s a long story, but that what it is.
BOOKS – ABOUT THE CRAFT
Q: Where do you get
your ideas?
A: Many of my ideas
for stories come from my dreams. I have very colorful and vivid dreams. They
seem to be a motion picture with a lot of action and drama. Sometimes they are
fantasy and sometime Sci-fi, but I always write down the good ones.
Q: What do you think
is the hardest part of writing a book?
A: Finding the time.
I teach college and during the off season (summer) I’m also doing research on
history projects. I would love to be able to write on a full time basis, but
right now its now feasible financially.
I also think that finishing a manuscript is just a difficult venture
itself. Those who do complete their books should congratulate themselves,
because they are many who do not do this.
Q: Would you ever
consider a joint project?
A: Absolutely! I
actually wrote a chapter for from Chainbooks Press. Each author that picked up
the book after the first chapter was written, became responsible for moving the
story forward by writing the next chapter. It was fun to do.
Q: How do you handle
a writer's block?
A: For me, when I
struggle with writer’s block, I find that this is good time to sit down and
outline. I know that sounds weird, but my characters all chip in when I am
writing. Sometimes when I outline the other books in my series, they pip up and
add comments. It gets me back on track. 😉
BOOKS - NOW LETS PROMOTE – STRUT YOUR STUFF
Q: What are you
working on now? Would you like to share anything about it?
A: At the moment, I
have begun book three of Legends of Green Isle. It’s titled “The Ice Queen.”
The story is picked up 30 years after book two “The Mirror Sliver” ends.
Q: Do you have a new
book coming out soon? Tell us about it.
A: Yes. I would love
too. Book two, “The Mirror Sliver” has just been released. It’s the second in
the six part series of Legends of Green Isle. This book continues the story
from book one. Time seems to be running out for the characters
as they travel to Black Isle. All of them know that soon, the Black
Warlock, Uthal, will escape from his mirror prison. Our heroine, Miranda knows
her own magic is growing stronger, but she is unsure of herself. She can sense
there is a difference in her Matt, who is lost somewhere on the isle and she
does not know if this strangeness in her friend will keep them from succeeding.
He certainly does not appear to be the same Matt she knew. There are some new characters that make an
entrance into the story in book two that will be in the story through the rest
of the books. It’s definitely an adventure!
Q: How can we find
you? Do you have a web page, FaceBook page or any buy links?
A: Yes, I do. Here are the links.

ONE LINER:
Join the adventure as those from Earth journey to save Green Isle from the ancient evil that wants to destroy all magic.
SYNOPSIS:
Time
is running out. Soon, the Black Warlock, Uthal, will escape from his
mirror prison. Miranda knows she must find the courage to locate Matt on
Black Isle and reunite the group before they battle him. But something
is wrong. While her own magic is growing stronger, she senses there is a
difference in Matt. Will this strangeness in her friend keep them from
succeeding in their quest?
EXCERPT:
The light from the sword grew intense. It resonated emotion. A beacon of revenge from a time so long ago. She leaped on the Fir Darrig, burying the length of her sword into its back, spearing him to the floor. A fury, not her own, seemed to engulf her. She quickly pulled the sword out and turned. Her actions were automatic as she sliced through the other two without hesitation. When she was done, the power ebbed, leaving her cold. She regarded the lifeless bodies that lie between her and the others in shock. Her heart immediately saddened. It released the hate and the anger that had earlier transformed her. In its place was regret. Had she done this? Was this slaughter from her? Her eyes found those of the wizard. She knew he saw what was transpiring in her thoughts. The words and questions reflecting from her soul in the pupils of her blue eyes said much. “Death is never easy,” he said quietly. “Even when it’s your enemy.”
“Will I feel this way when it’s time to battle Uthal?” she asked. “Will I mourn his death?”
“Only if you haven’t lost yourself in the sword’s power,” he replied. “Remember. To always come back to the emotion of regret means you have not lost your humanity.”
