Is this your first book?

Glitched is the first book in The Glitched Series. There will be four total, and I am already working on the second book.

How did you get into writing?

I had an idea 12 years ago, and I shared it with a few friends and co-workers who were avid readers. They said they had never heard of anything like that at the time and I should write it. And here we are.

Who are your inspirations?

Strong women. No one in particular, just the concept of a strong woman, both physically and mentally.

What would you describe your style of workv?

My style is narrative. I love movies, and therefore my books play out in readers’ minds as if they are watching the story they are reading.

What medium do you prefer?

I type everything. I recently got an iMac, and it has helped tremendously with the speed at which I am able to work.

 What your favorite work you've done?

So far, Glitched, but I am probably going to love the second book (which is still untitled) even more.

Do you have a place that inspires you?

Anywhere I can zone out and just look at nature. My backyard is perfect for that.

Do you have a favorite art museum?

Nelson-Atkins

Where can we find your books locally?

KD’s Books in downtown Lee’s Summit & soon, Barnes & Noble in North Blue Springs

 And of course, what is your favorite color?

Shiny black since I was 4 years old, thanks to Catwoman in the 1992 film Batman Returns.

Featured Question from the January Featured Artist, Donavan Noble:

What is the easiest way for you to get out of an art block?

Not being distracted by children I could write all day every day if able. I’m not able to write because of my demands as a housewife and my children. Not to blame them but it is what it is.

I dont have art blocks. Ever.  I love listening to music and have a playlist for each book that i listen to on repeat while writing.
