BLURB:
In
this beautiful and moving story of love, growth, and redemption among the
stunning red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, Sydney—a teenaged Army orphan—discovers
that love knows no bounds and life has many twists and turns of fate. After she
is forced to move in with her late mother’s sister Blanche and Blanche’s
abusive alcoholic husband Dean, Sidney finds purpose and friendship in Lexy,
the daughter of Max Heller the City’s most prominent widower and business
magnate. Unknowingly, the girls’ antics awaken Blanche’s lost and suppressed
passions and stirs Max’s long-thwarted drive to build a loving and complete
family. What emerges is the wonderfully successful Epicurian Café, the
brainchild of Blanche and Sydney actively encouraged by Max and Lexy. The Café
quickly becomes a center of the community, the start of a new life for Blanche
and Sydney, and a chance for Max and Lexy to discover true love and the meaning
of commitment. An emotional roller-coaster with its exciting twists and turns,
Wildflower is an exhilarating and satisfying read

1. How did you get started
writing romance/erotica? A very good question… I have been a hopeless
romantic, always saw or came up with a romance storyline. I think that I’ve
shocked my parents when I told them that I want to be a romance author when I
grew up. I never thought of writing any other genre but romance.
2. What was your
inspiration for your latest book? Wildflower is actually base off of my
grandmother’s sandwich shop that she had and growing up with all stories from
her I was inspire to write it and turn into a book. I did make up the main male
lover to make into a romance, set it in Sedona AZ, and such.
3. Vacation-so elusive for
us writers-where would you go if you could actually take the time off? I
love to go to San Diego in the summer time when I can. I vacation all the time
in my writing, LOL!
4. Plotter or pantster? I’m panster 100% I sit down and let the
words flow out of my fingertips. I tried to plot a million times but when I am
writing the story end up taking a better turn then what I’ve plan. Like I have
been plotting wildflower for years now, and there are a few parts in the book
that I didn’t plan at all.
5. Name three things on
your desk right now. My Computer, an Easter egg that I’ve got from my dear
friend when I was fourteen and a few bucks, yes they're all on my desk.
6. Is there any kind of
music you like to listen to while you write? I love to write to all kinds of
music, it’s really what kind of scene that I’m writing or what type of mood I’m
in. When I was writing the scenes from Timeless Endings that was set in the
1970’s I listen to 70’s music all the time, still do.
7. Pizza or salad? (or both
for balance?) Both, I love pizza and
salad.
8. What movie have you
watched lately that has stayed with you? Oh god, Dick Tracy, the 1990 movie
With Warren Beatty, Madonna, and Al Pacino, a very great movie. I’ve listened
to a song from the movie every day since I’ve saw it for the first time. Besides I love the scene’s between Warren Beatty and Madonna.
9. Favorite book so far in
2014? I must confess that 2014 have been a very crazy year for me to sit
down to read a book and enjoy it.
10. What are you working on
next? I’m very much shut-lipped on all of my books and only my wonderful
editor knows what I’m working on next.
Excerpt
Three:
“I must tell you something. I usually don’t do this.”
Do what, Blanche?”
“Drink wine under the stars by a creek with a man who I have
just met.”
“But that’s part of what makes life worth living.”
Before Blanche could reply, Annette rounded the corner and
joined them.
“There you are; I’ve been looking for the two of you
everywhere.” Annette stopped to catch her breath. “What is it?” Blanche asked.
“Blanche, I hate to do this to you, but I need to go home
now. Jordan called to say his school project requires him to light a fire, and
I don’t want him playing with a flame when I’m not home.”
“I can certainly understand that.” Blanche looked at her
friend and back to Max, then she stood up. Max didn’t want Blanche to go, but
realized they had to leave.”
“Well, it was nice to meet you, Max. Goodbye,” she said.
“Good night,” Annette told Max.
For the first time in his life he was not sure what to say.
Blanche and Annette started to walk away.
Annette went on about her son.
“Blanche, wait! If you want to stay longer I can drive you
home, if you’d like,” Max said standing up from the table and walking over to
them.
Blanche stopped walking and turned around to face Max. He
could tell she was thinking about it.
“I would like that. Annette, do you mind?” Blanche asked
her.
