My newest book is Politician, Potholes and Pralines. It’s book 6 in my New Orleans Go Cup Chronicles series. Book 7 will be out in July in a box set to support three animal charities.
How did you develop your character and choose your location?
I’m from New Orleans so my location I use is here, and my characters are all around me, all the time.

What do you enjoy about the author’s lifestyle? What do you not enjoy?
I really enjoy when someone contacts me (email, Facebook, Twitter) and tells me they enjoy my stories or they visited here and felt like my stories made them have another visit. I also love working with other authors on a collaborative effort like boxed sets where we select animal rescues and charities and give the proceeds from the book sales to them.

I don’t enjoy taking time away from my writing to place ads or do any marketing.
Do you model your character after yourself or any one you know?
My characters are all little or big parts of people I’ve met or I've known. New Orleans has no

How do you get yourself out of a writing rut?
I write something else other than what I was working on and sometimes it turns out to be another story! Sometimes I just get up and walk around the block or go to the gym! I change my scenery.
If your books were made into a movie, who would you want to play the lead character?
Jennifer Lawrence for Brandy Alexander because I really like her in Silver Lining Playbook or Amy Adams because of Leap Year. Jessica Biel is also a choice. She has to be funny but capable.
For the lead men, I would select Ryan Reynolds or Paul Judd for Dante and Matthew Goode, Liam Hemsworth or Jake Gyllenhaal for Jiff.
Who is your favorite author?
I really don’t have one favorite. Right now I’m reading Scandinavian authors of crime and mystery. I like romantic suspense and will read just above anything that is a mystery or has a crime to solve. I’ve just started Marked For Revenge by Emelie Schepp, 2016 Swedish Writer of the Year. I read
the first in this series, Marked for Life and enjoyed it.
If you could invite five people – living or dead – to a dinner party, who would they be?
Some of my best memories have been on scuba trips in groups of divers who I did not know before the trip but made life long friendships with. Most of them are all over the world now and I would love to have a dinner party with as many of them who could make it. I’ve never had a bad time on a dive boat or a sailboat so any five of my past water baby friends would be who I’d invite to a dinner party.
If you could not be an author, what would like to do as a career?
I have renovated older, historic homes in one of my past lives, and I really enjoyed it. I think I’d like to do that again but renovating back to their original beauty.
