Sandra, first off I would love to know a little about you. Are you married? Kids?
Hi and thanks for having me on your blog! I am married. Getting ready to celebrate my tenth wedding anniversary in December this year. No kids, not even any pets. Both my husband and I are busy people and really enjoy being married and doing our own thing.
When did you decide to start writing for a living and why?
I’ve always puttered with writing, ever since I was ten and wrote my first “epic fantasy” using the kids in the neighborhood LOL But it wasn’t until 2007 when I got laid off from the real estate industry when the economy tanked that I got serious about making writing my career. With my husband’s encouragement, I took the first steps on that path. It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made.
It seems like you have loads of books under your belt, how many novels do you have published?
LOL I haven’t taken a recent count but I think it’s around 40 or so. I always like to have something for every reader so I write across genres with varying heat levels.
Have you ever had a ‘normal job’?
Oh yes. Since high school I worked in the real estate industry. But when the chance to ditch “cube world” and do something I love came up, I took it!
Tell us about your book, Winging It? It looks interesting, and not to mention…HOT!
This book has a little bit of everything: humor, paranormal, contemporary, a dog and a hot military hero. Dev doesn’t believe in anything he can’t see so when he crashes into the heroine Lia in his front yard while walking his dog.

Here’s the blurb: Joy and despair, light and dark, you can’t have one without the other.

Lia Farry—because her Fae name is a mouthful—has tumbled into the Mortal Realm through the Veil between worlds by mysterious circumstances. Thrust into a new and harsh human existence, finding anything to be happy about is hard. If she can’t go home, she’ll have to make it work.
Forced to interact, Dev’s protective instincts kick in, but he’s unprepared for the onslaught of lust Lia represents. He wants a normal life but not at the expense of getting involved. Lia knows she soothes his torment yet she’s battling her own problems. Desiring Dev is a dangerous prospect. Add in a meddling Fae queen and suddenly life as they know it will change forever. Love is at stake. A leap of faith is all they have to depend on.

I know you love Walt Disney World, but where else do you like to travel or fun things you like to do?
For fun I love to bake and cook. I’m also a big fan of zoos all over the country, so my husband and I often pop into zoos and aquariums wherever we go.
Do you like to help fellow authors by giving advice or help them find their sizzle?
I offer critiques and pointers, and give encouragement too. Everyone has to start somewhere and a little bit of help goes a long way.
Thank you so much for answering my questions and letting us get to know you better. I am looking forward to reading some of your books!
