Describe yourself in three words:
positive, friendly, family-oriented
Tell us a little about your latest release:
The Rose Ring
With a will that reads like a piece of fiction, the
return of his long-lost brother, and the possibility of losing the family
ranch, Micah Cooper calls on high school friend, Sky Baxter, to bail him out of
a bad situation.
Though her brain tells her no, Sky’s heart says yes.
She accepts Micah’s in-name-only proposal, knowing it’s unlikely anything
permanent will come of it. She’s been in love with him since the ninth grade,
and if he hasn’t figured it out by now, there’s little chance he ever will.
When an unexpected kiss ignites a spark, giving Micah
hope for a possible future with Sky, a tragic accident threatens to take it all
away. Torn between following his heart, doing the right thing, and forgiving
the past, Micah is lost in a whirlwind of pain and emotions. Will he make it
through the next two years, or will a long-kept family secret be the undoing of
them all?
When I originally wrote The Rose Ring, it took place
in New York instead of Montana, and had a feisty grandmother instead of a
feisty aunt. I set it aside to pursue publication of a different book, and
didn't look at it for a while. When I came back to it, I wanted a more
"homey" feel, so I changed the setting to a cattle ranch, added a
brother, an ex-girlfriend, an ornery pregnant horse and a crippled pup. I just
went for it all. Lol!
What is your earliest memory?
I was around 2 or 3. I don't remember how it happened,
my family was at a lake or beach, and I suddenly found myself face-first in
water. I couldn't get up and remember feeling panicked. A stranger picked me up
and returned me to my parents. That man, whoever he may be, was my guardian
angel that day.
What would you consider the greatest moment in your life?
I know I should probably say my wedding day, or the
day I gave birth to my first child, but in all honesty, it was the day I
received my first writing contract. Marriage and childbearing included my
husband, but writing was mine alone.
What’s the hardest thing in in life you’ve done?
Dealing with my mother's dementia and having to put
her in a nursing home, My father didn't handle things well, so that was an
added struggle.
I'm greatful to
God that Mom went fast, and that I got to hold her hand and be with her as she
took her final breath. That was nearly
two years ago. I still miss her, but through it all, my relationship with my
father inproved a hundredfold.
What have you learned in life so far?
That if you want it, you'd better go after it, because
it's not going to come to you.
Everyone’s favourite question: if you could invite five
people for dinner, who would it be?
There are hundreds of famous or influential people I
could think of (dead or alive), but quite frankly, I would much rather sit down
with family and friends. So, my list of five would be: Rick (husband), Jamie
(daughter), Josh (son), and Pam and Phil (best friends).
