Anna, thanks so much for stopping by. So, how did you get started writing?
I’ve always wrote, ever since I was a little girl. But as for what I write now – I was writing a women’s fiction novel and I noticed a certain scene was a little too steamy. So, I thought, why not give it a try? I ended up writing Making Friends, and things just took off from there.
What was the inspiration for your book?
A few years ago, there was a group of neighbours who would spend Friday nights together. We’d have dinner, drink lots of wine. I got to thinking about how we were all such good friends – what if we took it one step further. Voila – my swinging series was born!
What’s the one genre you haven’t written in yet that you’d like to?
I would love to write historical fiction. I was a history major and I just love it.
Are there any genres you won’t read or write in? Why?
There’s not much I won’t read. I’m not much for literary fiction, but I’m not opposed to reading it. I don’t think I’d ever try to write science fiction. I love to read it, but I think the technological descriptions would be beyond me!
What are you up to right now? Do you have any releases planned, or are you still writing?
The second book in the Adults Only series, Room Service will be out next month! I’m just putting the finishing touches on it, and starting with the third one. I’m also looking at writing a little short novelette about the characters in my Touch series for a spring release.
Alright, now for some random, fun questions. Favorite color?
Purple. Or red.
Favorite movie?
I really hate this question because there are so many movies that I love!! Because I’m such a Star Wars fan, I have to say Empire Strikes Back. And I love some of the Marvel movies. But for my favourite, non- franchise movie, I’d say The Italian Job. The remake, the one with Mark Wahlberg. I just love him!
Book that inspired you to become an author?
Stephen King’s On Writing. Every writer should read it. But the person who inspires me is Joss Whedon. I think he’s a brilliant writer.
You have one superpower. What is it?
I’d want to fly, or super-strength. Can I have both?
You can have dinner with any 3 people, dead, alive, fictitious, etc. Who are they?
Joss Whedon, Stephen King and George Lucas. I would have a list of questions to ask, but I don’t think I’d talk much!
Last question: Which of your characters are you most like and how/why?
I think I’m most like Paige, in my Husbands and Wives series. She’s probably the most normal and the least sexiest, although she’ sexy in her own way!
That’s all from me, thanks for taking the time to stop by!
Thank you so much for having me!!
