Interview

1. What other pen names have you written under?

 Like many writers, I've been writing and telling stories since I was little. I only attempted publication once - sending in a story to Harlequin, which was quite rightly rejected, when I was in my early twenties. Then I worked in various and sundry professions, including newspaper reporter, waitress, EMT, emergency room tech, nurse's aide, and finally now I'm a full time author.  

 2. You write about women who are not stick figures they have curves and attitude to spare, all women have body issues any women who says she doesn't is either lying or a narcissist, do you think we as women judge ourselves and each other to harshly? 

 I do think that we as women are too quick to judge other women for their looks, their body, their clothing...that's why I write BBW books in which the hero always sees the heroine as beautiful, in which he celebrates her curves and her body the way people did back in the time of Rubens.  

 

3. You are in your own words, "shamelessly commercial", what exactly do you think that means? (I honestly don't know)

 When I say that I'm shamelessly commercial - I mean that I am writing to make a living, and I keep that in mind when I'm plotting and writing my books.  I have studied the bestseller lists to see what sells well, I have read countless books to improve my craft, and I write in subject areas that I feel are popular ones and that will sell well.  I also write in subject areas that I enjoy - I've read science fiction and fantasy since I was a child, watched reruns of the original Star Trek when I was in my teens  - and now I write paranormal romance. If it didn't sell well, however, I'd try something else.  In fact, I wrote a couple of cowboy romances that I loved, which didn't sell well, and I didn't end up writing any more of them.

4. Your new book The Bobcat's Tale is out, even after a book is released do you still feel nervous until the reviews start coming in?

I always feel nervous when I've released a new book, until I see how well it's selling and what the reviewers say. I do pay attention to my reviews, and I've learned a lot from them.

5. You love getting reviews of your book does it ever bug you or hurt your feelings when you see reviews for your books that are just plain cruel and are more malicious than anything else? When you see a good review does it give you the warm and fuzzies?

 And since I'm only human, if I get 20 great reviews and one terrible one, the terrible one still stings.  Great reviews delight me, of course, I read them again and again.  I don't mind at all when I get constructive criticism, in fact I find it helpful, but when people are just insulting without even pointing out what they didn't like, it's hard to take - but that is unfortunately what every writer has to deal with if they want to offer their books for sale.

6. What is your favorite comfort food/s?

 My favorite comfort foods are pasta and sweets, especially tira misu and chocolate mousse. I love fettucine alfredo almost as much as I love my children. Also pasta primavera. Also - darn it, now I'm hungry!

Curvy Girls

  

Poppy Donovan has been roped in to helping her half-sister Penelope run her new bakery for the summer while she recovers from a car accident - but as usual, Penelope’s been keeping secrets. Like the fact that Sweet Surrender is actually an erotic bakery that sells desserts so naughty they make Poppy blush. And the fact that there’s an overly-muscled, macho hunk living next door who has suddenly developed an intense interest in everything about Sweet Surrender – including Poppy. Or the fact that Penelope’s accident may not have been an accident. With Poppy’s life suddenly in danger and the future of the bakery at risk, Poppy may be forced to seek safety in the form of dreamboat-next-door Rafe McGovern – but Rafe’s been keeping secrets of his own.

But what are Ty’s true reasons for wanting to marry Abigail…and what are his secret plans for the ranch?  







  Curvy girl Josephine Sawyer knows there’s only one reason why hottie bounty hunter Cooper Thomas is putting the moves on her – because he wants information on the whereabouts of her bail jumping brother.

But Josephine is shocked when she finds Cooper pursuing her with increasing passion, acting jealous when other men hit on her, and shadowing her every move. Is he really falling for the feisty, plus sized beauty, or is it all part of a greater scheme – a scheme which could put her life in danger?





Blue Moon Junction 
  New Yorker Ginger Colby, half witch, half werewolf, all curves, has made an immediate and lasting impression on the Alpha of Blue Moon County. Unfortunately, she did it by publicly insulting him – she turned down the smug, sexy werewolf sheriff when he asked her to dance with him at the local honky-tonk. Now the furious Alpha of her pack is ordering her to make amends with Sheriff Sexy – or risk igniting a war between the Red Wolves and the Gray. The Sheriff’s idea of re-establishing his dominance includes a bare bottom spanking, making her work for him as his new assistant, and flirting with her outrageously. But is he flirting with her just to get revenge for humiliating him – or does he want something more? And can a liberated big city werewolf find happiness with a dominant small town shifter? With the mysterious disappearance of an archeology professor, and a jealous Alpha female stirring up trouble…Ginger may not have a chance to find out!

Worse, some crazy love psychic is insisting that Lainey crash the wedding because her fated mate will be there, tensions are running high between the Blue Moon Pack and a rival pack, and a gorgeous wolf shifter is either suspiciously interested in Lainey, or just suspicious of her.

The problem is, the Chamberlin family are the ones who ruined her family’s life and reputation – and the sinfully handsome Kenneth makes her tingle in all the right places.
