Smashwords Interview

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I have lots of interests as you can tell by my many different book topics! I was born to travel and I am especially fond of adventure travel. Some of my favorite activities include hot-air ballooning over the Northern Serengeti, camping in the Himalayas, shark cage diving in South Africa, dog sledding in the Arctic, and a camel safari in Egypt.

I also love to participate in ghost investigations and my creepiest experience was being locked inside the Trans-Alleghany Luntatic Asylum overnight. Korners Folly was another very interesting experience.

I am an avid reader of many different genres so I read whenever I can. I also spend a lot of time researching my books and traveling as part of that research and also for book promotions/tours/interviews and just for fun.
What do you read for pleasure?
I read many different genres. One of my favorite is mystery/suspense. I also enjoy women's fiction, southern literature, detective stories, sci fi/thrillers, paranormal, memoirs, and travel books/essays.
