Interview
1) What originally inspired you to get into writing?
I always have loved to read fantasy, but I couldn’t find anything at the time that was different, not a knock off of something else that was popular. So I decided to try to write something. Now I write in several different genres.
2) Where did the idea for Sleeper come from?
I have had the idea in my head for several years, so when I started writing suspense it seemed the perfect fit for this story. It came from a combination of things. The news, history and my imagination.
3) Was there any particular character that you liked or felt able to relate to?
Jeremy comes from a friend I had growing up, so I kinda knew this guy and his family.
4) Was there any particular character that you disliked?
OH I hate the bad guys.
5) Were there any scenes in particular that were particularly challenging or easy to write?
It was a complicated plot to write and I had so many ends to tie up, but I love the challenge of that with these kinds of books. I don’t want the reader to know what’s going to happen. Who really is good or bad. Not for sure.
6) Have any of your characters been inspired by real people?
Yes often it’s parts of different people I have known in my life or family members, traits, things like that. It makes the characters more real and relatable I think.
7) Are there any particular authors or books that have inspired you?
I love the classics, and Anne Rice inspired me to write about vampires, which I have a passion for.
8) Do you have any advice/pearls of wisdom for budding writers?
If you want to write, you have to write. Even if it’s just a little every day. Be consistent with it and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
I grew up in a small northern Minnesotan town married my high school sweetheart, had two beautiful children and as soon as we could we moved to a warmer climate. I have worked with my husband building and decorating custom homes for years. After loving every kind of vampire book, movie and series I decided that I wanted to know more. I can write a book I thought, how hard can that be? Well…. But I stuck to it and finished my first book Royal Blood Chronicles Book One in August 2009. I now have six books in the series and am about to release book two of my new series Phantom Lives. My parents always told me that I could do anything that I wanted, work hard, study and do it right. I believe that and live that way every day.Twitter:@bloodchronicles

The good Senator focused more attention to Jillian’s breasts than her face and Jeremy found his cavalier treatment of her angered him more than he wanted to admit.
