Book Title: Gratification, Gossip and Redemption
Category/Genre: Mainstream Romantic Suspense
Tabloid publisher Nicholas Beck is usually the one reporting lurid headlines and bad behavior. His wife’s murder, however, turns the tables on him, and Nick finds himself the target of a police investigation, while his name is the one making headlines.
Broken-hearted, under suspicion and determined to clear his name, Nick seeks solace in the arms of beautiful photographer Jamie Jennings. Either she will be the answer to everything wrong in his life, or the biggest mistake he’s made yet.

When did you first start writing? And when were you first published?
I began writing at the age of 9, composing short stories. By the time I was a teen-ager, I had drafted my first book-length work of fiction and published my first novel in 2013.
What is it about ‘chick lit’/’romance’ that appeals to you the most? Do you read other genres?
What is it about ‘chick lit’/’romance’ that appeals to you the most? Do you read other genres?
I love happily ever after, and the idea that love can conquer any obstacle and transcend any boundary. I also love reading thrillers/suspense/mystery and fantasy/sci-fi.
Can you tell us a little about your latest release?
Can you tell us a little about your latest release?
Technically, that would be Redemption, the final installment of the Desire Never Dies trilogy, published last summer. My latest work, Exploits, is in the re-write/edit stage, and I hope to have it published in the next few months. Exploits kicks off the Sex & Secrets series and exists in the same world as the Desire Never Dies series, with a couple of the characters jumping from one series to the next. I have some great adventures in store for the characters of this latest series, and of course, the usual sex, love and murder.
What inspired you to write it?
What inspired you to write it?
As always, I’m inspired by the hope for love, dealing with fear and danger to get there, and the soap opera style of storytelling. I find life itself is filled with endless inspiration.
If it was made into a film, who would you cast as the main characters?
If it was made into a film, who would you cast as the main characters?
Hmm…good question. For Exploits, I would probably cast Blake Lively as heroine Sunny Drysdale and Chris Hemsworth as hero Jeremy Jennings.
What is your favorite book that made it to the big screen?
What is your favorite book that made it to the big screen?
Lord of the Rings. I own all of the movies and you would probably laugh out loud to know how many times I’ve watched them. It’s a little bit obsessive.
What was the last book you read and would you recommend it?
What was the last book you read and would you recommend it?
Author Jack Hayes just released his latest work When Eagles Burn, in which he named a character for me (sort of…I seem to have undergone a sex change and came out as Charles Walker…lol). Naturally, this was the last book I read. Jack Hayes is a very talented author, and I would recommend anything he writes.
Where do you currently write? And where would be your dream writing location?
Where do you currently write? And where would be your dream writing location?
In warm weather I can be found at the pool or on a beach, writing in a lounge chair. This is, in fact, my dream writing location, so I’m lucky to have the opportunity.

What do you listen to whilst writing?
What do you listen to whilst writing?
My playlist is best described as eclectic. On it you can find everything from the Monkees to Antiserum & Mayhem, and I’m always adding new things to it. Basically, I have a song for every mood and occasion, and what I listen to depends heavily on which character I’m writing and what mood they’re in.
Name one of your all time favorite songs.
