What sparked
your interest in becoming a romance writer?
Really, who doesn’t love some kind of romance? And
being able to imagine something new with every book? It really is like being
able to play out every girls dream
What was the
first romance novel you read that made an impression on you?
That is an extremely hard question because I’ve been
reading for so long! Still thinking…still thinking. I’m gonna have to go with a
more current one; SC Stephens, Thoughtless. My mind was blown!
Tell us 5
surprising things about yourself.
1. I’m an extremely calm person. A building
could be on fire, and I would be able to have a straight head.
2. I danced when I was younger, and was a dancer at a
studio that Katie Holmes was a student and teacher at. I never had her, but my
sister did!
3. I hate
shopping! Yes, I know, most women love it, but I just don’t. I go to the store
to get what I need, and I’m out. My husband, on the other hand, loves to look
around and it drives me nuts.
4. I’m a fondue fanatic. I could eat it for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner if possible. I should’ve been born in the
seventies or something.
5. I’m
obsessed with the beach. That’s really not too surprising, but if I could move
to the beach tomorrow, I would pack my family up and do it.
What is your
writing environment?
98% of the time it is pure chaos! I’m a stay at home
mom, and have three little ones 4, 3, and 4 months, so really I have no peace
and quiet. Luckily, I’m able to find a little bit of time, and can work with a
ton of noise. By the time they’re all settled for the night, I can barely keep
my eyes open, but I still peck away at the keyboard for a little while.
Do you have
a website recommendation for other writers?
I had no clue what I was getting into when I first
started writing. Facebook was really the most helpful, there are just so many
resources. I still have a ton to learn, but there’s always new pages that I
find with something helpful almost every day.
Who is your
perfect hero? And why?
One that has flaws, because no one is perfect.
Which
authors have caught your interest lately? Why?
Nicole Reed, I like the laugh factor she took with
Cake. It was something different from her, and I loved it. I also have to
immediately read anything by Jillian Dodd as soon as it’s released.
What type of
book have you always wanted to write?
I was really into paranormal books for a while, and I
was like hmmm…I wonder if I could write one of those?? Then I decided, I
couldn’t. I mean that stuff is probably one of the most creative genres out
there, and it simply blows my mind.
Who are your
dream dinner party guests?
I would love to have dinner with a group of my
favorite authors; Jillian Dodd, K.A. Linde, Claire Contreras, Tara Sivec. Just
to name a few!
What’s the
last movie you watched and loved?
Catching Fire, best one yet, but I
can’t wait for Mockingjay now!
Most
_____________in high school. (popular, nerdy, sporty…) Why?
I would
have to go with shy. I didn’t have the best experience in high school, and
really, wouldn’t ever want to repeat the experience. EVER AGAIN.
Top three
things on your bucket list.
1.Go to Italy.
2.Try out scuba diving, even though
I think I’ll only ever be brave enough to do snorkeling.
3. Attend a movie premiere.
How did you
get the idea for this particular novel?
Well, One Simple Step is Ally’s story from the
Journey series. I really felt like she needed her story even though it seemed
to be wrapped up at the end of Limitless, but I just wasn’t happy with her
ending quite yet.
What is your
favorite scene in your new release?
My favorite part has to be the breakup scene. I’m not
going to give away the specific details because I don’t want to spoil things,
but it was my favorite part. Yeah, that might sound a little twisted, but I
just love when books can give you that stomach-in-knots feeling, even when
you’re the one writing it.
If you could
be one of your characters - Who would you be? And why?
Even though you don’t see her too much in this book,
I would have to go with Leah. She has a dry sense of humor that I can
definitely relate to.
Flirting Questions
Which
actor or book character do you have a crush on?
Hands down, Ian Somerhalder. Even if I didn’t
like Vampire Diaries, I would still watch it muted just because of him. He. Is.
Amazing.
What’s your
favorite body part of the opposite sex?
Hmm…that is a really hard question. I’m gonna have to
go with the ass as long as it’s in a pair of football pants. Yeah, I make my
husband walk around in those things all the time.
What does
love feel like?
It’s an overwhelming feeling that you just can’t get
enough, can’t live without, and never want to go away. You can also
occasionally want to slap the ones you love, especially husbands, but that just
makes the love even more special!
Hey, baby!
What’s your sign?
Pisces
When was
your last kiss?
Five minutes ago from my four year old. Does that
count?
What’s an
absolute no-no in a relationship?
Cheating. Hell. No. Bye-bye. See ya later!
How did you
meet your significant other?
I was dating his step brother, and he was dating one
of my friends. A little while after we both ended our relationships, we started
dating when I was fifteen and he was eighteen, and we’ve been together ever
since.
What’s your
idea of a perfect date?
A trip to Melting Pot, the best restaurant ever, and
either a movie or a night out at the hot tubs.
If you could
take a romantic trip, where would it be?
Somewhere secluded and kid free. I love my kids but a
one night break would be amazing. I would probably just want to sleep!
Do you
believe in love at first sight?
Absolutely.
