Author I draw inspiration from: I read a lot of romance across a variety of different subgenres. I draw inspiration from many different romance authors across the genre. However, my inspiration to write began with Tara Janzen and Teresa Medeiros.

Favorite place to read a book: My best reading spot is curled up on the couch, covered with a blanket while sipping a hot beverage.

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: I can't pinpoint an exact moment. I've always been an author at heart. But reading some amazing romance authors definitely inspired me to pursue my own dream of being a published author and sharing my books with the world.
Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: I prefer eBook for travel and paperback for at home. If I love the eBook, I'll buy the paperback for my collection.
The last book I read: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood.

Pen & paper or computer: Pen and paper is my go to for plotting and brainstorming. Computer is definitely easier and faster for my actual writing. My fingers can type faster than they can wield a pen for writing the actual story. Keeping up with my brain is hard work!
Book character I think I’d be best friends with: Honestly, I can't think of any off the top of my head. Yikes. Guess I need to think about that one, or I need to read more and find my book BFF.
If I weren’t an author, I’d be a: Gardener. I love being out in my gardens among the bees and flowers. Maybe an herbalist. I'm fascinated by the history and modern applications.
Favorite decade in fashion history: Oh, I'm torn. Either the 1880s/90s late-Victorian era, or the 1950s pin up vibe.
Place I’d most like to travel: Poland. I want to search for my grandmother's hometown and eat all the Polish foods! The Bavarian region of Germany is one of my favorites, so that would be a close second.
My signature drink: Cabernet Franc. I will never turn down a glass of Italian red wine.
Favorite artist: All of the Pre-Raphaelites. I adore that style of art.
Number one on my bucket list: Fly in a USAF Thunderbird. I have a need for speed.
Anything else you'd like to add: Thank you for being amazing! I appreciate the support and love. xoxo
