2. Does what you read influence what you write and what are some of your favourite authors/books?
I’m so used to reading stories with Alpha hero’s and sassy heroines so my stories have the same type of characters. I always look forward to reading books by Maya Banks, Shayla Black, Cara Bristol, Renee Rose, Sandra Hill. And that’s just mentioning a few.

‘A Heart’s Endeavor’ is my first published novella. I tackled the subject of depression and the affects it can have on a person. After seventeen years of marriage my heroine is diagnosed with depression and her husband turns verbally abusive. He makes her feel worthless and treats her as if she was a mental case just because she needs medication to keep her illness and panic attacks under control. After his death she vows to pick up the pieces of her life and never trust her heart to another man. But, she doesn’t expect state trooper Jack Horan to pop into her life. He turns out to be totally different and throws her for a loop.
