What can you tell us about your new release, Engaging the Bachelor?

Engaging the Bachelor is a fun, sexy, second chance/fake engagement story set in Southampton. Last year I was chatting with writer friend Lauren Hawkeye about doing a series together when this idea came to us. We then called in our other good friends, Mari Carr and Jan Meredith ( who already writes hot doctors) and after hours of brainstorming, PULSE was born. We had a lot of fun writing these stories and carrying characters across in our books.

What’s on your top 5 list for the best books you’ve ever read?

Oh my goodness, that’s like asking me my favourite child. LOL I turn my head to my right and have a wall to wall bookshelf full of books, and I love them all. Okay, some of my favourites are, Outlander, The Fault in our Stars, Perfect Chemistry, Marked by Moonlight, Hunger Games.

How do you like to spend a rainy day?

It’s raining right now as I write this. I live in Nova Scotia by the ocean so it rains a lot! Rainy days are perfect for writing, and when I’m not writing I can be found reading or trying some new recipe in the kitchen.

Which books would we be surprised to find on your shelves?

I love Young Adult/New Adult so that might surprise you. I also have a lot of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

You’ve written many different genres of romance books, which one is your favorite?

I love contemporary romance. I can draw on so many things I see and hear in real life (I love to eavesdrop lol).

What are you currently craving?

Coffee. It’s early, and I’m only on my first cup!

What scene in Engaging the Bachelor was your favorite to write?

I think it’s the handcuff scene, when the heroine is all huffy and asking him what he thinks he’s doing and he laughs and says, “Don’t act like you don’t want this.” I also really love the scene with Gracie the dog. I don’t want to give too much away, but I laughed out loud writing it.

Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?

I actually do. It’s been on my facebook page for years. The Vision of a Champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when no one else is watching.
