Author I draw inspiration from: Too many to name
Favorite place to read a book: In bed before I go to sleep.
Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: Michelle Obama (Becoming)
The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: When my short story was censored in third grade because the clue to a mystery was a bloody handprint on the wall.
Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: All the above
The last book I read: The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate and The Searcher by Tana French--one on audio, the other on my eReader.
Pen & paper or computer: A computer always.
Book character I think I’d be best friends with: Wanda Gray, a character in all three of my Happiness Key novels because she's an amazing pie baker and not afraid to express her opinions or feelings.
If I weren’t an author, I’d be a: A marriage and family counselor--which I trained to be and got sidetracked
Favorite decade in fashion history: Unlike most people I view the sixties with nostalgia. Lots of color and prints, soft, comfortable dresses and embroidered jeans and shirts. It was a time to be creative and practice your own design skills..
Place I’d most like to travel: I'd like to go back to Morocco (especially Marrakech) and spend more time traversing the country.
My signature drink: I would be very unhappy to live without iced tea--with extra lemon, of course.
Favorite artist: I love folk art, especially bright, happy, quilts.
Number one on my bucket list: Walking the Cotswolds, something I've wanted to do for years.
