of lovely Rena Jackson. But skeletons fall from the closet when
Audrey and Stiles discover that Rena is in love and committed to the

GUEST POST
How
long have you been writing?
I
have been writing since I was a preteen. I wrote poetry, speeches,
loved writing essays and now that has evolved into me being
a published author
What
kind of research do you do before you begin writing a book?
I
seldom do research before writing and more during writing. I research
whatever I need to research that will make my book as realistic as
possible.
Do
you see writing as a career?
Yes,
writing is my career.
What
do you think about the current publishing market?
I
think the current publishing market is over saturated with
authors or those who say they’re authors but put out less than
tasteful, high quality work. As an editor, I know the importance of a
well edited story. It saddens me that so many people believe in
slapping words on paper, putting a cover on it and publishing it. On
the other hand, the publishing market has given an open forum to any
and everyone who has a story they want to share. No more pleading,
begging, praying and hoping for that big publishing contract.
Do
you read yourself and if so what is your favorite genre?
I
read but not as much as I’d like to. As an editor I read a lot of
manuscripts so hardly ever do I read for pleasure anymore. My time is
so busy with editing and writing, making it more difficult. I like
nonfiction, suspense and general fiction.
Do
you write one book at a time or do you have several going at a time?
I
usually write one book at a time. I put my all into that one book
before moving to the next. It works better that way for me.
Pen
or type writer or computer?
Definitely
typewriter/computer. I can’t see myself writing in longhand.
Advice
you would give new authors?
I
cannot emphasize enough to new authors: Please take your time to
produce a quality story that has been professionally EDITED.
