Can you describe your writing why?
Unconventionally, I am not a reader. I didn't write when I was younger, and I can not tell you what compelled me. But one day when I was 27, I declared my intent to write a book, and so I did. Everyone liked it so much that I realized I was a good storyteller, so I wrote another. Now I have written forty-two so far and I am always being asked for more. The interest in my stories is why I write. The way they make people feel inspired is why I write.
Share with us your favourite passage from the book you enjoyed writing the most
(I have written so many so just one of many favorites).
“Okay, okay,” he nodded like a salesman preparing for his pitch. “So say you just spent a few hours worrying about me punching you. Would it hurt more?”
I tried to think about where he would go with this but it was harder to contemplate in a dream state. “No, it would hurt the same whether I worried about it or not.”
“Ah ha! So you agree that worrying about it before hand was pointless?”
“Yes.”
“And worrying about it didn’t help you prepare for it?”
“No, because I didn’t know it was coming.”
“Exactly.” He leaned in to me. “So part one of this lesson; worrying about something is a waste of time because it won’t change the outcome.”
I held on to his teaching for a moment and took it to heart, knowing what he meant. “What is part two?”
He almost jumped with glee and spun around excitedly. “Just a change of perspective for back up so hold on. Okay, say if you knew it was coming, then you would worry about it because it was inevitable.”
“Okay?”
“Haven’t you ever worried about something and then when it finally happened it was nowhere near as bad as what you thought?”
“Lots of times,” I replied.
“So remember those moments when you start to feel the fear, Penny Lane. Your mind can create far worse realities than the physical world. Wouldn’t you then agree that ridding yourself of your imagined concerns would unburden your life a million times over?”
“Well when you put it that way, I guess if I was only left with real incidents, it’s not so bad.”
“Great, we are on the same page, groovy chick, you’re a true prodigy!”
Ghost Retrieval and Cappuccino (The Afterlife Series)
Tell us about your latest project
I have recently finished the paranormal murder mystery, The Bus. In 1968 four women were found slain in the back of buses in the small town of Haunting Pines. No witnesses, no suspects, no evidence.
Five years later, Skye Guthrie is sent to report on the recent 1973 murders that mirror the last spate of gruesome killings. After befriending an enigmatic writer with a secretive past, she tries to penetrate the wall of silence and get the locals to speak with her. Confronted with unrelenting rain and fog, she is swept up by an old haunting while facing the immediate danger of an elusive killer. Worse, she bears the burden of an old tragedy, returning to the place where a murder during her childhood set her name in infamy.
