Author Interview
1. What inspired you to write your first book?
I was inspired to write my very first book when I was in high school. A few other swimmers and I were having a competition to see who could write the best story. None of us finished them at the time, and it took me more than 10 years to finish and publish that first book.
2. Do you have a specific writing style?
Umm, I don’t think so. I write when I have the chance and either on a computer or longhand.
3. How did you come up with the title for your book?
Titles are the worst for me. I agonize over titles. I always try to come up with something that’s interesting and encompasses the essence of my story. Most of my titles are thought up after the story is complete.
4. Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
The basis of the Road to Salvation series is looking at what could happen when a teenage girl with no experience in love falls for the bad boy. We have this notion in society that it is expected and accepted for women to fall for bad boys and be the catalyst to change them, but that’s a dangerous place for women to be. What if the person doesn’t want to change? Where does that leave her? This book looks at what could happen in this type of relationship.
5. How much of the book is realistic?
Hmmm, well, teenage girls really exist.
6. What book are you reading now?
I am currently reading History of the 313th infantry in World War II. It is research for the project I’m working on.
7. Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
Tonia Brown, Adrienne Jones, Eric Brown—just to name a few.
8. What are your current projects?
I am currently working on my grandfather-in-law’s biography, which talks about his time in WWII and ranching in Wyoming.
9. Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
I learned that main characters don’t always have to be likable, but that doesn’t mean their story is any less important.
10. What were the challenges (research, psychological etc) in bringing your story to life?
Just finding the time to get it done. Working a full-time job and having a family doesn’t leave me a lot of free time, but I get it accomplished.
