1. What was the hardest scene to write in Becklan’s Doll?
The hardest scene for me was Audrina’s past. I wasn’t prepared for such an emotional glimpse into her sorrow.
2. Do you have a favorite character that you’ve written? If so, who? And what makes them so special?
Yes, Myles has a special place in my heart. He’s so witty and sassy, yet still holds the ability to lighten the mood in only a few words. He’s a personal favorite with a personality that shines no matter where he is.
3. Can you tell us about the process for coming up with the cover?
This cover in particular is special to me because the two models on the cover are very dear friends of mine. Chris and Cheyanne. That photo was taken inside my dining-room and then handed to a designer, who took my ideas and magically brought the cover to life! It’s exactly how I envisioned it from the beginning.
4. What do you hope for your readers take away from the story?
I hope my readers take inner strength and courage from my story, and put it to good use where ever they can.
5. What was the inspiration for Becklan’s Doll?
I live by the mountains and I was working in Carbondale, Pa. After so many musings on the way to work, it was only a matter of time before I decided to create a world under it and named it Crobania.
6. What inspired you to start writing?
I was thirty years old and working two jobs when I discovered Stephen King’s memoir. After reading it from cover to cover, I not only started my novel… but I did it long-hand as I didn’t have a laptop at the time. A highly recommended read for any inspiring writer!
7. When did you realize you wanted to be a writer?
I started reading when I was young, 2 to 3 novels a week for years! That’s, when I noticed them; the mistakes. When I was able to spot errors inside published novels, I knew I wanted to be a writer. I started a few projects back then but I wasn’t anywhere close to ready. Now, I’m ready.
8. Do you want each book to stand on its own? Or, are you trying to build a connection between each book?
The books inside the Crestemere Series will each be a pivotal point. My readers can go from book to book without getting lost and still share a connection as they experience a character’s story.
9. Where can your readers purchase your books?
Barnes & Nobles, Nook and hopefully their local book stores.
10. Are you working on anything in the present you would like to share with your readers?
Readers should be expecting the second edition of the Crestemere series very soon, release date yet to be determined.
