Prescription for a Frozen Heart follows a brilliant but emotionally guarded sports doctor who avoids children at all costs and meets an emotionally unavailable single father that she did not expect to fall for. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

This book draws heavily from my own life. I wanted to give medics a voice for the true challenges we face that usually are glossed over when a medical romance is written by a lay person. I have given Charlie my day job, yet she is not me. My niece was 11 at the time I was writing. I wanted a brooding man who was flawed but redeemable and I intentionally created a character arc for him to show this.

What was your writing process to ensure you captured the essence of the characters?

I defined my characters before I started writing. Their flaws, their habits, their go to tics, and their appearances. I thought about how they would react differently given the same situation. In my head they are real people.

Was there a reason why you chose this location as the backdrop for your story?

It’s set in the small rural town I work in, since Charlie got my job.

What next book are you working on, and when will it be available?

I’m creating a sweet time-travel romance. Imagine: Pride & Prejudice meets Jurassic Park. It’s too early to give a date yet. I am having a ball writing it 😊
