Interview with the author
1. When did you first start writing?I was in the 7th grade and read a book where the heroine died in the end. I was so PO’d that I literally threw the book across the room, putting a hole in the drywall (I also learned how to patch drywall). I hated that ending and wouldn’t stop whining about what a ripoff it was to invest so much time into a story only to not give the characters their Happily Ever After (HEA). Finally, a friend tells me to rewrite the ending if I hated it so much. So I did. She told me she liked it better than the original ending and suggested I write a book. So I did. I published my first book in 2008, which was actually my 3rd completed story, and have never looked back.
2. Why did you choose your specific genre?
When I write, I always end up putting my characters in
danger (you know, car chases, gun fights, racing against time, and the like…).
Because of that, I can’t NOT write romantic suspense. Believe me, I’ve tried.
I’m not sure why I do what I do, only that I love dropping them into an
impossible situation and watching how they get out of it. I also write New
Adult (NA). I’m a 20-something at heart (and will be forever, dang it!), so the
NA genre “speaks” to me. Of course, I sprinkle in a little suspense to go along
with all the fun.
3. Paper or plastic?
Definitely plastic. I don’t remember the last time I
bought a paper book. I download everything to my Kindle app on my iPad. There
are a few authors I prefer to listen to instead of read. Tess Gerritsen is one.
Richard Castle (yes, I know it’s a ghost writer, not Nathan Fillion writing the
book) is another.
4. What is your go to snack/drink to consume
while you are writing?
Wine. I drink a lot of wine. I sometimes eat grapes, but I
prefer them in the form of wine.
5. Where is the place you find you are most
drawn to when you have time to write?
I have an office in my house totally set up for my
writing. I also have a stinkin’ day job (SDJ) that consumes a good 8-10 hours a
day. I have a great L-shaped desk--1 side is for the SDJ and the other is for
my writing.
6. Have
you ever hated something you wrote?
I
think every author hates something s/he wrote at some point in the process. So
the answer is yes. To add to that, my current work, which is a thriller, has a
baddie so bad, so twisted and dark, that I hate him. Like a really lot. That’s
a different hate than hating what I write, but it sort of counts, right?
7. Did you learn anything from writing your book
and what was it?
Every
book I write, I learn something. The research I do before I even write the
first word is extensive. I’ve learned the stages of hypothermia and how the
body reacts to each stage; the degrees of burns (there are 6) and how anything
after 2nd-degree doesn’t hurt (nerves die, so when you’re torturing someone,
keep the burns blistered but not charred--TMI?); how nanotechnology is being
used to repair DNA strands; how to not only hack into a system but also find
out how to skip your IP address so you aren’t caught. Those are just a few.
8. Manicures, pedicures or both?
I
love love love pedis. Manis are nice but since I type all stinkin day long, if
I have nails, the ‘click-click-click’ eventually drives me to drink (refer to
question 4). That being said, I do love the wax treatment to keep my hands
soft. :-)
9. What is your all time favorite Christmas
present?
The
hubs presented me with a ring one Christmas. He put it in a GIANT box, so I was
disappointed that it wasn’t a ring. I open the box, and there’s another box, so
I open that one. So on and so on, until I get to the little velvet box. It took
me like 30 minutes to get to the ring. The suspense was killing me! Maybe
that’s why I write suspense? The anticipation builds and builds and builds.
When the payoff hits, there’s nothing better.
10. Have you ever been in trouble with the
police?
Define
trouble. If you mean I’ve gotten a ticket, then yes. If you mean I’ve ever been
arrested...no comment. If you mean I’ve ever had a warrant out for my arrest,
then no. I’ve been sworn to secrecy on everything else.
11. Have you ever gotten in a bar fight?
Yes,
and I still need to put it in a book. Someone said, “Redheaded slut” and one of
my friends went a little nuts. I tried to explain that it was nothing more than
the name of a drink and to chill. Then I found out the dude really was talking
to me, so I punched him. You know, it’s not like the movies. That sh*t hurts!
Next time I’m going to kick him in the cluster. Never mess with a 6 foot
ginger. I’ve got issues. :-)
12. Animals?
Do you have any, if so what kind and what are their names?
I have 2 Keeshonds. They are like giant Pomeranians. Rocky
is the male. He’s about 50 lbs and dumb as a rock. Pebbles is my little female.
She’s only about 30 lbs and spends her day contemplating how to take over the
world. I liken them to Pinkie & the Brain.
13. What is the one subject you would never write
about as an author?
For me, that’s war. I have a kid in the service and the
reality of her being deployed is frightening. I write to escape reality and to
want my readers to experience that same escape.
14. Where do you come up with the names for the
characters in your books?
I’ll hear a name and think, “That’s a great name!” and try
to remember it. I have a mug sitting on my desk listing every person I
graduated high school with. I have Google. I play around with the sound of the
name and see what emotions the name invokes. If it fits, I use it. I’ve been
known to change character names after I finish the book. I’ve also been known
to kill of a character if I don’t like them. I’m brutal.
15. What person (author or not) was the biggest
influence in your decision to become an author?
My mom, hands down. I gave her the name MICOR (Mom In
Charge Of Research) and dedicated her favorite book to her (RESCUE ME-October
2013). I lost her in August of this year, so now every book I write will have a
dedication to her.
16. So you have any secret talents, like juggling
or balancing a spoon on your nose?
I can roll quarters off my nose with freakish accuracy.
Never play quarters with me. You will lose. I also use my toes to pick stuff up
so I don’t have to bend over. I’m like Rain Man when it comes to numbers and
colors. I can’t remember names or where we’ve met, but tell me your phone
number and I can still call you in 20 years.
17. If you were a zoo animal, which would you be?
I’d be a lioness in a wildlife preserve. I’m not a fan of
zoos. Animals weren’t meant to be locked in cages like that for other’s viewing
pleasure. I’d be the first female lion to run a pride. :-)
18. What is the weirdest thing that has ever been
said or done to you by a fan?
I've got my books at an outdoor vendor fair and I spot the
cutest little old lady is on one of those scooters. She’s got her purple dress
and red hat, and has a flock of about 10 other little old ladies walking with
her. She stops in front of my booth and asks about one of my books. “It’s
romance,” I tell her. The rest of the ladies gasp and cover their hearts. “Is
it graphic romance?” she asks. I respond with, “It’s erotic romance. Very open
door.” The crowd gasps again, followed by murmurs and *that* look. The woman
smiles at me and hands me a twenty. “These are my favorite. Will you sign it
for me?” The other women were shocked. And then each of them bought a copy as
well. :-)
19. Imagine your characters are on survivor. Who will they vote out of the book?
I’m going to use my TREX suspense series as the basis for
this question. Regardless of the book, I think they’d vote everyone not part of
the brotherhood of the agency out first. Once they have to turn on each other,
they’d all lift their torches and bring them together to create a single flame.
You vote one off, you vote them all off.
20. Where do you hope you are in your career in
10 years?
In 10 years, I’d like to be writing full time and have the
means to not only mentor other authors, but provide support in the form of
scholarships for authors wanting to but can’t afford to attend conferences. I
want to pay it forward.

TREX BRIEF First Response (FREE BOOK)
When opportunity knocks...
TREX Special Agent Spencer Allen has been waiting to take the lead since he first started with the covert agency. He's earned his place as his team’s CO and is given a mission that could make or break his career. The night before he deploys, he decides a little R&R is in order. He meets the CEO of the search and rescue group TREX contracts with, takes her home, and they have an unforgettable one-night stand, despite TREX's strict policy not allowing agents to get involved with members of competing agencies.
The response is everything...
Kat Davis didn't expect to be swept off her feet by a member of the egotistical men-in-black agency that orders her agency around on searches. He says all the right things, touches her in all the right ways, and makes it impossible to resist him. It's only one-night, she reasons. She's not ready to commit to more than what they've already had together and quickly retreats, leaving Spencer confused and angry.
Spencer completes his mission and has a decision to make--one that could give him an ounce of happiness, the other the right thing to do. Will he do the right thing? Or do what's right?

TREX 5
After being badly injured on a mission, spec ops agent David Snyder is offered a transfer to one of the sideline divisions of TREX. Even Charis McKoy, the brainy, mouthwatering brunette sent in to coordinate the transfer isn't enough to sway his allegiance to the frontline spec ops division. He'd rather cut off vital parts of his anatomy than work the sidelines. He's frontline and always will be.
Charis has the handsome agent in her sights, in every sense of the word. He may be part of the all-bronze-no-brains spec ops division she despises, but he is also more perfectly chiseled than the statue bearing his name.
When TREX pairs them up to find a cyber-terrorist threatening to destroy the nation's techno-infrastructure, the best frontline agent and the best sideline agent must work side-by-side to stop the madman before he strikes again. Racing to stay one step ahead, they enter into a dangerous game where the hunter becomes the hunted.

Undercover TREX Agent Wayde Davis bids on the sexy-as-sin Mia the instant she wobbles out onto the stage in 4-inch stilettos. She fits the profile of all the missing women and may be next. If protecting her means taking her to bed, then he'd be more than willing to make that sacrifice.
Painfully shy, high roller James Pearce wants the dark beauty as his permanent courtesan. His unique fetish requires the help of another man, one so taken with Mia he's willing to do anything to stay by her side—even share her.
Her pleasure will drive them all to the boiling point.
Something dark lurks in the hot Seattle nightlife, a madman using the clubs as his personal hunting ground. It’s up to Wayde to catch the killer before Mia becomes the next victim.
