Why was she stolen? The Author explains
If you could recommend a living author – who would it be? A dead author?
Just one? I am a huge Sarah J. Maas fan. Her storytelling and characters steal me away in every single one of her books. For a deceased author, I’d go with Jane Austen. I love her humor and all the family scandal that goes along with her novels.
In your opinion who is the funniest author now writing?
Currently, Rainbow Rowell is cracking me up with her Simon Snow series. Listening to Wayward Son in bed on audiobook my entire body was shaking with laughter (while my husband was trying to get to sleep).
What have you done with the things you wrote when in school?
All my spiral notebooks and three ringed binders stuffed with stories used to be stored in boxes beneath the stairs of my mom’s house in Alaska. She recently dumped them off at my current address in Washington State. Now they’re shoved in my closets. I’d never take the time to reread them, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to throw them into the recycle bin.
I have a Westie named Cosmo. He will be 14 years old soon and has been my sweet little writing (and reading) buddy all along. With writing being such an isolated endeavor, having his company is a huge comfort. Luckily, he can’t reach my keyboard the way a cat can. He does like to sleep behind the wheels of my chair, so I have to watch out that I don’t back up and roll over him.
Which of your books are you most proud of?
I’m super stoked about my current series: Royal Conquest (Stolen Princess). It’s outlandish, unpredictable, steamy, and laugh-out-loud funny. Watching readers become hyper over how much they enjoyed the characters gives me an overwhelming sense of satisfaction and pride. Fans fuel the flames and keep the series going!
Do you have an unusual hobby?
I enjoy motorcycling. This is my husband’s passion. I never expected to take any part of it until six years ago when we were living on a remote island with a max speed of 40 MPH. I was getting bored with island life and figured that if I was ever going to learn, that was the best place to do it. It really revved up our relationship and gave us something fun to do on (sunny) weekends.
If you could choose to live in another country/town – which would you choose? And why?
I wish I knew! One thing is certain, my husband and I dream of living someplace sunny and warm most of the year. I was born and raised in Alaska for the first thirty years of my life. My husband grew up near Paris, which has Seattle’s similar overcast and rain. Somehow, we ended up in the Pacific Northwest with rain, rain, gray, gray, gray. Not ideal for motorcycling or healthy dose of vitamin D!
