If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

-Somewhere warm preferably with a beach. My husband and I have talked about moving to Fort Lauderdale, Florida multiple times because his family is down there but there isn’t much work for my profession down there. I would love to go on an Eat, Pray, Love kick and take a few years and live all over, though.

How do you write – lap top, pen, paper, in bed, at a desk?

-These days I use my laptop. But when I first penned Order of Earth, I wrote most of it by hand. Later I saw the light and realized that was a waste of time and actually hindered the writing process. Now I use a combination of excel and word to construct my work.

I write most of my work during my lunch breaks. Some days I fit in an hour or so of writing between when I get home and when I make dinner. I really have to fit it in whenever I can.

Where do you get support from? Do you have friends in the industry?

-I actually don’t know many people in the industry which has been a difficult part of the process. I would love to say I had an “in” somewhere or someone was guiding me through the process, but really my support comes from my friends and family who simply believe in the project. We are all learning the process together.

How much sleep do you need to be your best?

-I would absolutely love to get 9 hours. Sadly, I average closer to 6, but that’s life.

Is there anyone you’d like to acknowledge and thank for their support?

-I have a small group of people who have been amazing. I have to thank my family and husband who have been a tremendous form of support. They have been with me every step of the way. My friends have also been really great. They act as beta-readers, social media promoters, and all around support systems. I’m a lucky girl to have such great people in my life.
