Tell us a little about yourself.
How are you like and
unlike your main character?
I’m like Angelina in that I love music and
I’m fiercely loyal to my friends and family. I’m unlike her in that I’m not an
Appalachian witch. :-)
What/who do you read for
pleasure?
Nicholas
Sparks, JK Rowling, Lissa Bryan, Alice Clayton, John Green.
How long have your been writing? Was it a dream, a goal
or is it just a hobby?
I’ve been writing since I was a young. It
was just a hobby until last year, when one of my online stories was noticed by
an editor at my publishing house.
How
many hours a day do you devote to writing? Do you have a set routine or do you
write when the mood strikes?
With a full-time job, it’s impossible for
me to have a set routine. I typically write on the weekends, unless it’s
summer. Then I have all the time in the world to write.
Tell us about your
book:
What
is the name of it and is it part of a series or a stand alone novel?
My upcoming book is called Mountain Charm.
It is a stand-alone novel, but it is included in my Appalachian Heart
Collection. All the stories are based in Appalachia.
What is it about?
At the age of thirteen, Angelina Clark followed in the footsteps of her
ancestors by casting an Appalachian love spell, which promised she would
blossom into a beautiful and gifted woman who would find her true love. A young
Angelina had been thrilled to participate in the sacred ritual, but through the
years, her father’s untimely death and her mother’s failing health have shaken
Angelina’s magical faith to its core. As her twenty-first birthday approaches,
she refuses to practice her supernatural gifts and no longer believes in the
love charm.
That is, until Dylan Thomas arrives on her front porch.
Dylan, a Nashville writer, travels to the mountain town of Maple Ridge to unearth the family’s supernatural secrets. While her clairvoyant mother is convinced that Dylan is her daughter’s soul mate, Angelina refuses to see the nosy reporter as anything more than a nuisance.
That is, until Dylan Thomas arrives on her front porch.
Dylan, a Nashville writer, travels to the mountain town of Maple Ridge to unearth the family’s supernatural secrets. While her clairvoyant mother is convinced that Dylan is her daughter’s soul mate, Angelina refuses to see the nosy reporter as anything more than a nuisance.
Despite their constant bickering, sparks fly.
Dylan admits he feels strangely drawn to Angelina and is in no hurry to leave Maple Ridge or publish his magazine article. Fearful that his emotions are being influenced by the spell, a stubborn Angelina struggles to fight her own budding attraction to the reporter.
The two inevitably grow closer just as her mother’s health begins to deteriorate, and Angelina is faced with the possibility of selling the family’s music shop to pay the mounting medical expenses. Desperate to help the woman he loves, Dylan explores his own family tree and finds support from an unlikely source. Can he finally prove his love is real—spell or no spell?
I think the pitch
says it best:
A story filled with love, friendship,
family, and just a hint of Appalachian magic, Mountain Charm will leave you
spellbound.
Do
you have any upcoming projects in the works or other books that have been
published?
My first novel, Lessons Learned, was
released in 2012. I am currently working on a novella I hope to release prior
to Mountain Charm. I’m also working on book #3.
