Author I draw inspiration from:

​

I am always on the lookout for inspiration. The concept for IN AN INSTANT came to me on a chairlift on a particularly snowy, windy day. The cold sparked a memory from my childhood that led to an idea. The book I have coming out next, HADLEY & GRACE, was inspired by my lifelong love for the movie THELMA & LOUISE. And one of the characters in the story is based on a remarkable man who lives in my hometown. I always tell people to be careful what they say around me because, if it’s good, I will steal it and put it in a story.

​

Favorite place to read a book:

​

I read a lot when I am having lunch, usually on the patio of a cafe or restaurant when the weather is nice.

​

Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with:

​

Dagny Taggart from Atlas Shrugged. That would be truly remarkable. 

​

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author:

 

After I finished my first novel. It was quite awful since I had no idea what I was doing, but telling a story from my imagination was remarkable, and I was hooked.

​

Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook:

 

Nowadays, I read almost exclusively on my iPad. I still love the tactile feel and smell of books, but it’s not practical with how much I read. 

The last book I read:

 

The Boy from the Woods by Harlan Coben.

​

Pen & paper or computer:

​

Both. Computer mostly, but when I’m stuck, I pull out my notebook and scrawl. 

Book character I think I’d be best friends with:

 

Huckleberry Finn. I imagine we would have grand adventures.

​

If I weren’t an author, I’d be a:

​

Jeff Probst from Survivor—all the perks of a grand adventure of survival without the struggle.

​

Favorite decade in fashion history:

​

1950s. I am over the moon about the architecture and clothes in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

​

Place I’d most like to travel:

​

Next on my list is Australia. I also really want to go to Greece.

​

My signature drink:

​

I’m a whisky girl. My favorite is Blanton’s Bourbon. Yum!

​

Favorite artist:

​

Georgia O'Keefe

​

Number one on my bucket list:

​

Walk the Camino de Santiago

​
