Can you tell us a little about your book?

GOOD VAMPIRES GO TO HEAVEN: eighth book in the Deadly Angels series. Zebulan is a good demon (vampire…a Lucipire) who finds himself in a hellish situation. Who better to rescue him than the flame-haired vangel (vampire angel) Regina, who looks an awful lot like Satan’s sister! Laughter and sizzle guaranteed!

How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?

Zeb has been a popular secondary character in the other Deadly Angels books, a quintessential tortured hero with a sense of humor. Readers love him. That’s not to say this book can’t be read without having read others in the series. They are all intended to stand alone, as well as follow a series.

What do you like to do when you aren’t writing?

Reading, always. And antiquing at area estate sales. Shopping with my granddaughter; having four sons, I relish the girly things.

What types of scenes are your most favorite to write?

Anything involving humor. A coven of witches in a hot air balloon rescuing my hero in GOOD VAMPIRES GO TO HEAVEN. A modern women teaching Viking women how to make homemade condoms in THE RELUCTANT VIKING. A lazy Viking who is forced to become a Navy SEAL in KISS OF SURRENDER. An eighty-year-old woman, Tante Lulu, doing outrageous things in all my Cajun novels, including entering a belly dancing contest. A Norse king who has a curse placed on him causing his penis to make a right turn (THE OUTLAW VIKING). These kinds of things I enjoy writing most.

When did you first start writing and when did you finish your first book?

I’ve been writing all my life, including years as a newspaper journalist and education editor. My first novel was published in 1994.

Are there certain characters you would like to go back to, or is there a theme or idea you’d love to work with?

I would love to go back to some Viking historical romances involving secondary characters from my previously published novels, but they will have to wait until historicals are back in favor. And I don’t rule out another Deadly Angels in the future, if nothing else, a sequel catching up on all the vangel gang.

Is there anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans?

As always, I wish them smiles in their reading.
