Tell us some things about yourself. 1.  I love sushi 2.  I’m afraid to cut my hair short 3.  Shocking pink is my favorite color 4.  Playing hard-to-get won my husband 5.  I once gave a speech in front of 500 women 6.  I love to ride horses 
Was there a moment when you first thought "I'm a writer."? I clearly remember that moment! It was my first try at writing a book and I’d gotten about three chapters in. My Hubs asked how it was going, so I read it to him. He was surprised…and so was I.
What genre(s) do you write in? I am published in romance (erotic fantasy), but have a western time-travel in the works.
Have many books have you written? List names of published books? I have six books either completed or semi-completed. The two published are Remedy Maker, which won the 2012 Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer’s Choice Award, and Troll-y Yours. My novella Portals of Oz will come out in a few months.(let me just point that out again in case you missed it - 
Remedy Maker, which won the 2012 Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer’s Choice Award)
What is your latest book about? My latest book, Troll-y Yours, is the second book in my shape-shifting Centaur series. Classified as an Erotic BBW Fantasy Romance, the story is about the head palace guard named Aleksander who was voted “Most Eligible Bachelor in Boronda”. He’s handsome to the point of being vain, he’s second in command only to that of the Centaur queen, and the females swoon at his hooves. That is, until he meets Ella the Troll. She’s not interested in his straight white teeth or impeccably groomed goatee. Ella only wants to make enough money from her speed-dating business so she can move far, far away from Boronda.

What is your favourite moment in the story (one that doesn’t give away any secrets) Ah…It ‘s the moment Aleksander comes to realize he’s willing to give up his lofty position in the palace he worked so hard to gain, all the women he could have, even his drooling good-looks mean nothing—if it means living without Ella.
Have any of your characters ever been based on people you knew from real life? I based my first hero, Rhycious from Remedy Maker, on someone I once knew. If ever there was a real-life tortured soul, this man was it. His story broke my heart. In Troll-y Yours, Ella is also based on someone I know who lives with a fractured family as described in my book. She’s beautiful inside and out, but her family fails to see her that way, thus she views herself in the worst way possible.

Short question time. Favourite ice cream – It’s a tie between Moose Tracks and Ben & Jerry’s Coffee Caramel Buzz Dream vacation – (on my bucket list) To do the horseback pub crawl in either Scotland or Ireland Least favourite food – liver
If you won the lottery, what would you do?I would pay off all our debts, invest for ours and the kids futures, make sure my Hubs never has to work again, and then plan for some serious play time!  Love this cover!!!! Blurb SHE TAKES A CHANCE.
Determined to forge a better life, Ella launches her new business with high hopes—until a sexy Centaur bumps into her and throws her life off course forever. Voted “Most Eligible Bachelor in Boronda”, Aleksander shakes up her world and tilts her in more ways than one.
HE’S IN DANGEROUS TERRITORY.
Years of warfare and countless bedroom encounters have stolen Kempor Aleksander’s luster for life. He never expects to rediscover his zeal in the small, redheaded form of Ella the Troll, who fires his blood hotter than the deepest caverns in the forest.
A PASSION SO HOT.
But as trouble lingers in their midst—and edges ever closer—Alek and Ella spiral into troubled terrain. Turning to each other, the pair face down dangers that run impenetrably deep in their mythological world. But will the two lovers discover a passion that runs even deeper?   
Excerpt: Gods. So wet, so ready. How was he supposed to hold back? Ella moaned, parted her thighs to his touch, and he easily found her hot nub with the pad of his thumb. As he sucked deeply on her taut nipple, his thumb brushed back and forth against the tiny bundle of nerves, drawing the little whimpers of pleasure that turned him on even more. Alek lifted his head to sweep his lips against hers, gently licking them, teasing the corners, nibbling on her full lower one. Her lips lured him with their sensuous swell, and he learned he loved to kiss and taste them. Nip at them. Lose hours just making love to her mouth. Ella opened her mouth then, and he pounced on the perfect moment by slipping his tongue to find the hot slickness inside. The hesitant touch of her tongue against his, sent arrows of fire rocking through him. The strike went straight to his throbbing cock and aching balls. Whoa, buddy. Slow down. He only had one opportunity to show how much he wanted her. How he felt about her—royal duties be damned. Their tongues danced, slowly at first, and then darting back and forth while his thumb continued to work her clit in an unhurried motion. Ella moaned again, the tight sound echoing into his mouth. Her hands pulled at his back, straining her body closer to his. When she bent her legs and dropped her thighs wide open, he accepted her silent invitation to explore farther. He moved his hand until he slid two fingers into the hot well of her center. Holy Bacchus. Hot, hot, hot! So very wet. The tight walls of her sex were slippery with her juices, her flesh pulsing around his fingers. Aleksander tore his mouth away from her. “Ella.” His voice was hoarse and he hardly recognized it. “I can’t wait any longer.” “Then don’t,” she urged. “I want you inside me. I want you now.” “You don’t need to tell me twice.” Meat Wrench jumped with joy. Alek levered himself to his knees, ready for action. However, the sight of her damp, welcoming pink center was so tempting, so mouth-watering, that first he had to have a taste. Lowering his head, he used his thumbs to spread her labia wide, then lapped the length of her slit and let his goatee tickle her clit. “For the love of Bacchus!” Ella’s desperate keen of pleasure sent another surge of heat through him. And he loved those sounds. Thus, he did it again…and again, not sure who he teased most. Licking the honey-tart taste from his lips, Aleksander moved into position, notching himself at her opening. With one firm roll of his hips, he entered her scorching, wet heat. Oh, gods of mythic pleasure!
(Whoa - excuse me I have to go get a cold drink!)
