Interview Questions

1. What is the experience of having a co-author like? There are a lot more positives than negatives when working with a co-author. You have a soundboard and elaborate ideas, scenes, and storylines. It helps because you do not feel so alone in the process. On the other hand, working with a co-author creates tension because life gets in the way, and you have to make time for them. Overall, it is a well-worth experience. 

2. Love is Deceiving has a military storyline or tie. Do you have any ties personally to the military? I do have ties with the military. In my line of work as a police officer, many have transitioned from a military career to police work. We work well together and have similar tales to tell. 

3. What do you like to do when not writing?

Working I work a lot often six days out of the week. I also enjoy listening to music, reading a good book, having a nice conversation over a hot cup of coffee, and playing with my dogs.

4. What do you hope people gain from reading Love is Deceiving?

 I would like people to relax and get lost inside of my book. I want to identify with the characters and cheer for the good guys and boo for the bad guys. I just would like it to be a bit memorable.

5. The sequel is almost ready for release. What do you want readers to know about it?

I want to know the story goes on. Love is part of what we want in our life. Love is not easy free or cheap. However, I want the readers to enjoy it, cherish it, and aspire to have romance. Honestly, I want them to forget the world and get lost in between the pages of the book.
