1. Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I was born and raised on the island of Bermuda, where I still live with my hubby and two-college age kids, when they’re home. J I went to school here and in England and Canada, where I earned a BA in English from the University of Toronto. I’m pretty shy around strangers but I love meeting new people and traveling.
2. When you were a child did you have a favourite book or books?
I was a huge Enid Blyton fan. Many Americans probably don’t know who that is, but she was a prolific British author who wrote amazing children’s books. I devoured them all, and in fact begged my parents to send me to boarding-school because she made it seem like such fun. (It wasn’t). (Jenny here finally someone who shared my love of Enid Blyton although I wanted a magic faraway tree more than anything else.)
3. Do you have a favourite Genre to both read and right write?
4. Did you have favourite authors growing up who have influenced you?
5. When did you know you wanted to be an author?
6. How did you go about becoming an author?
7. If you were not a writer what would you like to be?
I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else. And I’m really not good at anything else, so this is it for me.
8. Outside reading and writing what do you like to do?
9. Do you have a place you love to visit or would love to visit?
10. If you could have a meal with 3 living people who would you choose and why?
Finally can you tell us about your current books and/or any that will
be coming out soon. Also where we can find you on the web.
Yesterday’s Tomorrow – release date March 15th, 2011
Publisher – OakTara – http://www.oaktara.com
It’s 1967 and Kristin Taylor wants to go to Vietnam to report on the war, and honor her father’s memory by becoming an award-winning journalist like he was. But no editor will send her. So she strikes out on her own and steps into a world more terrifying than she’d imagined.
As she encounters the horrors of war, Kristin struggles to report the truth while desperately trying to keep tabs on her only brother who enlisted some time ago, but both tasks seem impossible.
When she meets photographer Luke Maddox, Kristin knows she’s found a story. The mystery beneath his brooding eyes triggers her curiosity. She’s convinced he’s hiding something and determines to discover his secrets. The only trouble is, he won’t let her within three feet of him.
In an unexpected twist, Kristin and Luke are forced to work together. With war raging all around them, they engage in their own tumultuous battle of emotions. Headstrong and willing to risk it all for what they believe in, they’ll do whatever it takes to fulfill their own private agendas. Kristin is after a story that might get her the Pulitzer. Luke wants retribution from the enemy that took away his family. In the face of death, Kristin and Luke must decide if they’re willing to set aside selfish ambition for the love that seems to have ambushed them and captured their hearts.
