What to you write?
I write fiction novel series - of the Young Adult / New Adult romance variety. But it's not all romance! There are interwoven themes of "coming of age", child/parent and family struggles, teen angst, and finding and practicing faith. The teen years and early twenties are a tough time of figuring out who you are, what you stand for, where you want to go in life, etc. I write about characters finding their way through that critical time in their lives. Sometimes it's not pretty. Sometimes other people in their lives are helpful, but sometimes they're not, and a person has to figure out how to deal with that.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I feel a sense of celebration for my characters when they overcome adversity and figure out how to break free of whatever is holding them back from experiencing life to the fullest. I also love it when I myself am moved to tears, whether from sadness or joy, by what is happening to my characters. That's when I am reminded of why I write - to evoke emotion out of thin air.
