My fans mean everything to me! Without them I could not do what I do and be successful. They give me feedback on what I am doing wrong, praise for what I am doing right and suggestions for what I could do better.

I am currently working on a sequel to Dutchmann's Curse. My next book will tell AnaLise's story.

It is hard to pick one - I love to read so much. If I had to pick my top three it would be Claudia Hall Christian, Patricia Briggs and Nalini Singh.

When I am not writing I can usually be found working in my yard or riding my motorcycle (it's a great way to clear your head) or spending time with my family.

I have signed up for multiple ebook lists and get emails everyday and usually try at least one of the recommendations I receive.

This is a tough one - I think of things (usually in the middle of the night) that I just know I can work into a story so get up, write my notes then go back to sleep and try to work the notes into my story the next day. I write out the short version of a story first then fill in the blanks with my nightly notes to myself.

The first story I ever read that was a full length book was Louis L'Amour's 'The First Fast Draw'. I loved that book. I still have it today. It travelled with me even during my time in the military. I loved how Mr L'Amour painted a picture for me with words and how it felt like I could see everything that was happening. That I was a part of it. I hope my readers feel the same way about my stories. Like they are a part of what is happening and can see everything as it unfolds.

Anything I can get my hands on. I am an avid reader and will read almost anything.

My son got me a Nook for Christmas a few years ago so that has to be my favorite.

Piled high with a little of everything - from weights to notebooks to a candy jar.
