My most surprising discovery while writing was that I’ve finally overcome my fear of writing. When I first started writing, I thought the fear would never go away.
Who is your favorite character?

Have any of your books been made into audiobooks? If so, what are the challenges in producing an audiobook?
Only one title has been made into an audiobook so far and that’s You Don’t Even Know My Name. The only challenge was finding the right person to read the manuscript.
Which of your books were the most enjoyable to write?
I think my latest title, Say My Name, is probably the most enjoyable to read because it’s a short and steamy read.
Tell us about your first published book. What was the journey like?
My first book titled Forgive Us This Day was published in November 2004. It’s a romance novel that took me two months to write, four months to edit, and another six months to decide on self-publishing.
