– What genre do you write?

Multicultural romantic drama with an LGBT twist.

– Have you always wanted to be an author?

Not until high school. I actually wanted to be a professional singer or actor. I juggled all three for a few years, but I found my happy place with writing.

– Tell me 3 things about yourself that your readers don’t know.

I’m a complication of emotions. I suppose that helps with my writing. I’m also easy going, but true to my zodiac sign, I can be a fierce lioness when I need to be.

Raised as an only child, most people assume that I was spoiled. My mother wouldn’t allow it. Over the years, I spoiled myself too much. Now that I am older, I think I do have that personality.

I’m an introverted person who totally enjoys being that way. It takes a lot of courage for me to step out of my safety zone and into the public realm. Being somewhat shy too doesn’t help me at all.

Tell me about your books.

“Secrets & Lies”

~ A Different Kind of Love Story ~

(Multicultural Romantic Drama)

“Sometimes a need for keeping secrets…

Can be just as intriguing as a reason for telling lies…”

“Secrets & Lies” is a provocative, uncensored, character-driven, emotional journey into the private lives of four central characters in a small Texas town. At the heart of the story is a beautiful transgender woman of color who questions her personal worth as she fights to keep the life and love she has always wanted. Even the elements of true confessions get lost in translation as the details of who these people really are brings them together in a surprising, yet necessary finale that will change their lives forever.

The Crush”

(Huffington Post & IBO Teacher Support Material)

For Adults this is a little reminder of how innocent love can be and how long it can last. For Young Adults it is undeniable proof that emotionally, grown-ups were once exactly like them.
