LR: Thanks for having me
here on your blog. I’m a wife and mom to two furbabies—Bella (German
Shephard/Black Lab mix) and Rainy (English Masiff). We live in Northeast
Indiana (our town has been called the world’s largest truck stop) is our home,
at least until we decide to move. As we’ve lived here all our lives it may be a
while before that happens. I’m the awkward one who never knows what to say—I
definitely write better than I talk.
RW: We’re almost neighbors!
I'm at the other end of the Tri-State. We should get together when one of us travels north or south.
Meanwhile,
who are your favorite characters among the books you’ve written?
LR: That’s a hard question
as they are all special in different ways. If I have to choose one I guess it
would be Jackson McKenna from Invisible.
A violent event changes the course of his life forever for the better.
RW: Why did you decide to write?
LR: I thought about it for years. I’ve always had
an active imagination—when I was younger I used to imagine my own plotlines for
the shows I watched on television. (Of course I was the heroine and I was
rescued by the hero/es and we lived happily ever after.) Back in high school a
couple of friends and I started writing a story told in letters between three
friends. Little did I know one of my friends continued to add to it over the
years. One day she mentioned that she had written more to the story and asked
if I wanted to read it. Of course I wanted to read it! Then she mentioned a
little thing called NaNoWriMo and explained how it was a “competition” to write
50,000 words in a month. I’m like, “Okay, I’ll do it with you. How do I sign
up?”. November 2013 I wrote over 50K words and that mess eventually turned into
Saving Cassie. I originally
self-published and went on to publish two more myself. In 2015 I hooked up with
Lavish Publishing when they changed owners and I am releasing my sixth book the
beginning of April. Hard to believe a story started in high school led to this.
RW: Would you like to write a different genre or
sub-genre than you do now?
LR: I would love to write a horror novel—I’m a huge
Stephen King fan. Unfortunately, I have yet to come up with a plot for one.
Maybe someday. That’s the beauty of indie publishing—I can publish it myself
and not worry if a publisher thinks it is “worthy.”
RW: Tell us about your latest book. What motivated
the story? Where did the idea come from?
LR: My latest release was Last Chance Christmas, a novella inspired by characters from
Invisible. When I finished Invisible,
I knew there was more to the relationship between Brent and Jordan and I was
right. The story was originally going to be in an anthology but I couldn’t get
it finished in time. Luckily, Lavish liked it and released it the week before
Christmas.
RW: If money were not an object, where would you
most like to live?
LR: I would love to live on a beach somewhere.
There would have to be shade as I would look like a lobster after about ten
minutes but I love being near the water. The smell of saltwater, the crash of
waves, it’s incredibly relaxing. Currently, I would love to live in Hawaii. It
looks so beautiful and there is so much more than just the beaches.
RW: I can tell you from painful experience, you’d
better have plenty of money if you
want to live in Hawaii. It’s a great place to visit—for about three weeks. But,
maybe I’m prejudiced. I was there as a Navy wife and I lost both my parents and
had both my kids while we were stationed there. Between grieving and wacked-out
hormones, I probably wouldn’t have been happy anywhere.
But
please, tell us about your latest book, including its genre. Does it cross over
to other genres? If so, what are they?
LR: Where
There’s Faith
is book three in my Fairfield Corners series. It’s a contemporary small-town
romance with a twist of paranormal. The Fairfield Corners books are all
stand-alone stories that take place in the same small Indiana town. Each story
follows a different couple—Where There’s
Faith is the story of Robert Newlin and Faith McMillan. This one took me a
year to write—getting Robbie’s mindset correct took some time. Release date is
April 4, 2017. Goodreads link: http://smarturl.it/FateSteppedInGR
RW: If you came with a warning label, what would it
say?
LR: Caution: Can go from zero to bitch in 2.3
seconds. Sometimes that Irish red-head temper rears it’s ugly head.
RW: What is the most rewarding thing about being a
writer?
LR: Leaving something tangible in this world.
Opening a box of paperbacks is a feeling like no other—satisfying and scary at
the same time. It’s my baby being released into the world—will it be loved,
hated, or ignored?
RW: Hunky heroes or average Joe?
LR: Both! Depends on the day and my mood.
RW: Party life or quiet dinner for two?
LR: Definitely a quiet dinner for two—I’m not much
of a party animal.
