RELEASE DATE: January

FAVORITE WRITING STORY/SAYING/MEMORY: I’d read an adventure
story written in the first person by Gena Showalter called Playing With Fire. It was
such a fun, lighthearted read, and I completely enjoyed myself. I may have even read it in one sitting. It
got me thinking. Could I do this? I hadn’t had time to write for a while
because my children (identical twin boys) were young, but now they were older.
Quicksilver Dreams started as a short scene written in the first person as an
experiment, and it was such a blast, my characters were so real for me, that
the story filled in naturally. Taylor
Lane became this very spunky, kick*ss character that you could really cheer
for. She wasn’t someone who ever gave
up. She might get knocked down, but she
came back swinging. I loved that about
her. Then she meets Ryder Langston,
someone with his own demons to slay, and letting the two of them hash it out
was exciting. They were both intense,
passionate people and by the end of the story, you’re really pulling for them.
FAVORITE NON-WRITING STORY/SAYING/MEMORY: I get my best
thinking done in the shower.
Really! It’s the least
distracting place, and the ideas just flow. It’s a place where I don’t have to
solve an issue between kids, I don’t have to look for a missing object for my
husband because I seem to be the only one who knows where anything is (even
when it’s not mine), and I don’t have the dog blowing unfriendly toxins at me.
The shower. Seriously. And, it’s a glass shower, so I even get extra
time to think because I take the time to squeegee it.
COMFORT FOOD: After a busy day that gets me home too late to
be motivated to do something healthy, my go-to food is this great little mom
and pop place that is really small enough to be a hole-in-the-wall-Mexican food
restaurant. It’s cash only and has the best meat-bean-rice-cheese burritos around.
This was a hard question because sometimes, In-n-Out Burgers is the place.
Sorry. It’s a toss-up.
COMFORT READ: Authors
I’ve gone back to time and again over years have been Joanna Lindsey, Nora
Roberts, Christine Feehan and Kresley Cole to name just a few. I sincerely
can’t pick just one.
YOUR PERFECT DAY: My usual workdays are jam-packed with
activity where every part of the day is completely accounted for, which is why
I love days when I can stay in my soft PJ bottoms until noon, lounging in front
of the TV with my kids, my husband and my dog all intertwined on the couch with
a book in one hand and a football game on at the same time. In my family, we enjoy laying all over each
other and randomly snoozing. A family that loafs together stays together.
That’s my motto. (-;
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON NOW?: Dreams Of A Wild Heart, Book #2 in the
Dreamwalker series, is coming out in June, so I’m currently in the middle of
the editing process. At the same time,
I’m writing Book #3, which does not yet have a title, but will be coming out in
December.

things has kept the creative spark alive. Danube lives in Claremont with her
biggest fans, her loving husband, amazing and wonderful identical twin sons,
