Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
I always said I'd never write a sequel because I have too many ideas! However, my readers liked "Poppy" quite a bit and kept asking if I'd ever consider writing more about her. When I asked Poppy how she felt about that, she told me she definitely had another story to tell. And so "Evergreen" was born.

"Evergreen" synopsis:

A pink-loving mortician who can speak to the dead.
A moody funeral director who’d prefer not to speak to anyone.
Poppy and Dante are back

When Skyview Funeral Home burns down, Poppy and Dante decide to fulfill a lifelong dream of owning their own funeral home. Settling on another Victorian, they discover the house holds many secrets. And not just what lurks in the basement.
The lonely spirit of a little girl with a gift
The ghost of a woman cheated in life
And a small town with a questionable history
These secrets come together to make Poppy and Dante’s dream...a nightmare
When did you first start writing?
I wrote my first short story in grade six. I was asked by the teacher to read it aloud to the class, which terrified me. After I was finished, I realized that I actually had everyone’s attention! I was shy and we moved every year, so I was always the new kid. When you’re in that situation, it’s kind of like being invisible. Finding my voice through story-telling made me realize how powerful writing could be.
