What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Redemption?
The anti-hero of the Mount Trilogy and Redemption, Lachlan Mount, holds a very strong place in my heart, and when I left him in agony at the end of a prior book over his daughter being kidnapped, I couldn’t leave him there. He had created an empire of darkness that threatened his family, and he had to find his way out into the light. That’s how Redemption was born.
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I absolutely adore reading about consciousness and spirituality. I’m currently re-reading the Power vs. Force trilogy by Dr. David R. Hawkins and Yogananda’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. I love to write all genres though—fiction, nonfiction, children’s books, and I’m even working on a cookbook! To me, it’s all self-expression and storytelling, which is what sets my heart on fire. I could never be limited to reading or writing only one genre. #creativerebel
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
The Mahabharata and the Zohar.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
There’s a scene that involves a meeting taking place between Mount and a brand new character on the Mississippi River, and I ADORED writing it. It’s my favorite scene in the book!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I almost always have a dog in the room! I have never written a whole book without a canine companion. Also, water. Remember to hydrate!
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Be the prayer—endeavor to be kind, compassionate, considerate, and forgiving to everyone, in all circumstances, including oneself.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Anyone can change. It only takes a single sincere instant.
Also—leave reviews if you love a book. Authors around the world thank you greatly.
