Good morning, Sarah. Tell us
something about yourself both writing and non-writing related.
I have been a wife now for 17 yrs. and I am the
mother to three children. A girl-16 and two boys- 14 and 11. As for
writing, I have been writing now for 6 years and Heaven Sent is my first
release.
Do you have a
writing routine? Where do you usually do your writing?
I do all of my writing in the living room of my
house. I wait until the husband and the kids have left for the day and then I
begin. I like to have Twizzlers nearby if I can. They help me think. The T.V.
is usually on but just for noise.
Hmm. I like Twizzlers. I might have to see if they help me think while I'm writing. Why do you
write in the genre or sub-genre that you do? Any plans in the future to write
in another genre?
I write in historical paranormal because it is
what I like to read also. I love time-travels. And, I figure I live now a day
romance, why not write about the past and learn something new. HEAVEN SENT is a
contemporary romance that was started for a contest and I enjoyed writing it. I
would like to write more in this genre, but will concentrate fully on
historical paranormal.
How do you
stay motivated when you have writer’s block or your muse won’t cooperate?
I have to take a step back. I will either work
on another project or I will leave it alone for a day or two. Once, I watched
Braveheart to get me back in the mood.
Taking a day break works for me too. I just have to be careful that it doesn't stretch longer than that. What is the
strangest thing you have ever done in the name of research?
Most of my research has been for my novel. I
went deer hunting and I have drank whiskey. Both instances were quite eye
opening! LOL!
Deer hunting! You're braver than I am. What’s the
best writing advice I have ever been given?
I was advised to join Celtic Hearts Romance
Writers. It is a group affiliated with RWA and they discuss everything Celtic.
The information I have learned there and the friends I have made have been
unbelievable. I highly recommend this group.

What do you
like to do in your leisure time?
I love to go camping, to work in my garden or
flower beds, and I like to read. My kids are in a lot of sports so I spend a
lot of time watching them.
I like to garden too. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a green thumb. Tell us about
your current release in a couple of sentences.
HEAVEN SENT is about undying love, faith, and
the ability to forgive.
Can you tell
us a little bit about your next project?
I have a novel coming out in January and I am
currently working on the second book for that. It’s not a series, rather than
there are three brothers and they each get their own book. The title of the
novel coming out in January is Dreams of the Highlander and it is with Soul
Mate Publishing.
Congratulations on your second novel. Anything else
you would like to share?
I want to thank you for having me here today. I
hope everyone will enjoy Heaven Sent and I look forward to hearing from them.

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Glad you could be my guest.
DeleteGreat interview! I love that you went deer hunting and drank whiskey, all in the name of research. =)
ReplyDeleteHi Jena,
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the interview. Thank you for stopping by.
Jena- Thank you for stopping by! I have to say, besides being cold... deer hunting wasn't that bad. Boring, but not bad.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a sweet read. And perfect for Christmas. :) Happy Holidays.
