1. Snowbanked is such acool title. How did you come up with it?Myhusband did. Yup, I'm willing to admit that. He'd also want me to tell you thathe came up with my blog titled, Unedited. Apparently I'm not great with titles.It started off as Snow and an Ex, but I find this is much more fitting!
2. Which two or three authors wouldyou like to emulate?I want tostay me. Original, flirty, and fun. But if we're going on who I'd like to oneday be next too in a bookstore it'd be Talli Roland & Sophie Kinsella.
3. The small town/big city dynamicseems integral to the story. Do you have a preference for one or theother? I've comefrom a small town and hated it growing up. Moved to a big city and realized itwasn't all it's cracked up to be. I think home for the holidays resonatesbecause I get the warmth and welcome feeling I want to achieve, but the cityoffers plays, outdoor activities, the world at your fingertips. So a little ofboth!
4. Tell me about your writing. Doyou pretty much focus on romance, or are there other genres you work in? Why?I writechick lit, dystopian YA, and horrors. I like to mix it up. My moood depends onwhat path I'll take for the day. Normally it's what character is screaminglouder. Each of them have a story tell, and it's my job to make sure it comesacross as they'd like.
5. Are you a cat person or a dogperson? Why?Cats.They're independent and have personalities just like humans. I find them to befar more entertaining but I don't have to worry about leaving them for a roadtrip. They can fend for themselves.
6. What have been the keys to yoursuccess as a writer? Perserverence,patience, and support. Write when you don't feel like it, ask for advice whenyou need it, and allow yourself to act like a fool when writer's block hits.
