You wish you have written something different of any of your books?

If you could spend a week with one of your characters, who would it be and why?

what is the character you despise the most? And what is the one love the most? (either yours or written by someone else)

Hello...
What is your favourite quote?

If you could change anything on one of your books , what it would be?

First let me start off by saying hey. I’m on the last two days of a summer getaway with my husband. But no fears, I’ll be checking in regularly.

Caroline, no. I’m actually at radio ally published children’s author as well. So anything I want to write, I can find somewhere to fit it in.

Hello Latifa, how are you beautiful? I would want to be with Leo. No to Stella since I’m basically Stella. But Leo is a Harley mechanic who falls for a rocket scientist. I ride my own Harley and am married to a rocket scientist.

MiDourado, the one I love the best is Ringo, he is a drag queen. He is actually described as one of my real best friends. Same personality and all. Character I hate most, there are many. Mainly I have issues with catty women. Once in a blue moon I will have a catty side character but generally I try to make the women you think are going to be catty, secretly supportive.

Antonella, so funny you ask this. We were talking in another group about how I use quotes in my books, I find such power in them. I could be poignant and give you Dickinson, Hepburn, or even Austen. But truthfully my very favorite is: Well behaved women seldom make history.

Ines, I would add more side characters that you hear about but don’t know. This way I can always go back and write their story and stay in the same world.

If you could be any book character for a day, who would you choose and why?

J, I’d say Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables. I love her precocious behavior.

Who is your favorite H of all the ones your written?

Natalie, Stella was the easiest since I’m basically Stella. But I bled when I wrote Sophie. She and I have some of the same scars. I was very young when I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer (29). My husband was out of town for several months on a mission. In my mind I thought to myself, why bother him, he can’t change anything so I didn’t tell him. I had my son who was less than a year old and I trudged through it , my husband returned two weeks before my bilateral mastectomy.

Hi! What are you currently working on?

Nicole, I’m currently working on sunday’s Book, she is a kickass PI. I’m also concocting a series set in the world of Susan Stoker, Badges of Honor series.

Which character of yours 'spoke' to you the most?

What made you want to take the leap from being a children's author to writing romance?

Of all characters, Piper was the one who spoke to me. Her story just came out in a breath.

I still write children’s books but less and am hoping to stop all together. The genre has changed. They have become very “write within your race”. I write nonfiction, sorry. 95% of children’s authors are white. The last thing we need is to whitewash school book shelves. — that may sound too heavy but I wanted to write about strong people in history no mater race, sex, religion, etc.
