Q: What do you like to do when you're not writing?
A: Reading. I always had a book within my reach.
Q: What do you like to read in your free time?
A: I like Romance. Especially, if children are involved. So, I guess it’s more like Family Drama stories that I enjoy reading more than anything.
Q: Who are your favorite authors?
A: I have several of them. Stephenie Meyer. V.C. Andrews. And lately, I’ve become fans of H.M. Ward.
Q: When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
A: I was fourteen. Back then I was always reading First Love Stories. Teenage Romance and every book were the same. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Have a disagreement. Patch things up and lives Happy Ever After. The only differences were the characters and place of events. Being fourteen, I knew life wasn’t really like that. I want something more realistic. So, I started writing my own view of first love.

A: I write anywhere. Bedroom. Living Room. Whenever an idea may hit me.
Q: Let's talk about your characters. Are Michael and Jessie your main characters?

​
Q: What is the time frame of your book series?
A: It starts out back in the ’80s with cassette tapes and a ’79 Trans Am. Then as each book comes, the time frame moves closer to today in time. Book One: Michael, Is It True is time framed over a period of six years then Book Two: Yes, Jessie, It’s True starts up the exact morning and goes for another two years. There is a little over six years gap before Book Three: Two’s Company Three’s A Crowd come in play and it covers only a month of time. Book Four picks up eight-teen months later and goes on to the end of the story. About eight years. It is right around 22 years of coverage in the whole series.
