Do you outline books ahead of time or are you more of a by-the-seat-of-your-pants writer?
I didn’t use to, but spent days and weeks spinning my wheels, so I do know. That’s why the pantser has so many unfinished novels on the hard drive. I’m going back now and deconstructing them to create outlines.
What do you do in your free time when you aren’t writing?
Travel. I visited over 15 countries in 2017.
Do you put yourself in your books/characters at all?
I like to think there is a little of my personality of each of my characters. The good, the bad….you get my drift.
What has been one of your most rewarding experiences as an author?
Having someone tell me how much they could relate to a character in my book.
What are your top three favorite books of all time?
Sacajawea by Anna Lee Waldo, Follow the River by James Alexander Thom, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
When Cece Cavanaugh’s husband empties their joint bank account, steals her designer luggage, and runs off with a younger woman, Cece must decide whether to ask her manipulative mother-in-law for a handout or get a job. Choosing the easier path, Cece lands a job cleaning a crime scene where a high school coach was murdered. When his wife is implicated—a young woman Cece practically raised—Cece finds herself mopping floors, balancing an empty checkbook, and ferreting out a killer.
Amid all this messy business, Cece bumps heads with a handsome detective. She tries to ignore her growing attraction to the detective, but he gives new meaning to the term “hot flash.”
After she stumbles onto a clue that could vindicate her friend, her elation turns to panic when she haphazardly confronts the killer. Through the danger and romance, Cece discovers self-reliance and inner strength.
And that crime—at least, someone else’s—does pay the bills.
