What is your genre? What draws you to this genre?
My genre has always been romance suspense /intrigue.
Since I was twelve and I saw a Fabio Cover I’ve been in love with romance, but living in Detroit, I was constantly indulged with violence. Without giving up hope for a happily ever after, I was determined to find true love for two people in a difficult violent dramatic world all the while weaving some eroticism and ecstasy around their story. I’m drawn to intrigue like a moth to a flame and writing stories in this genre gives me hope that happily ever afters for everyone can come true.
What is your purpose?
My purpose in this world is to be an asset and not a liability
My purpose as woman is to be a master of the gender
My purpose as a mother is to be the best that I can be.
