About the Writer

1. What five words describe you?

Creative, witty, humorous, passionate, & organized.

2. What was the first story you ever wrote? I mean the really bad one we all have that you’re trying to hide in the back of closet now that you’re published?

Right Before My Eyes is my first story.

3. What inspires you?

As a hairstylist, I hear so many different stories from clients, it sometimes makes you say, “this isn’t real”, but it’s real life, someone’s real life story. So as an writer, I have fun picking apart these stories and adding twists to them to make them fictional.

4. What distracts you?

My other half, my career as a hairstylist and business owner, TV, Facebook, text messages and emails. However, I wised up and took another day off just to write.

5. What’s your favorite story? This can be specific, as in a particular book or even story-driven movie, or general, like “I’m a sucker for a hero looking for redemption story.”

Any fiction with a lot of different characters that has twists in the story. I want to be into the book so much that I don’t want to answer my phone. I really like the 4 friends thing…Sex And The City, Girlfriends, & Golden Girls!
