Musings of a Romance Addict follows a woman reentering the dating scene after the death of her long-term partner who shares her heartbreak, dating encounters, vulnerability to romance scams, and evolution as she reclaims her confidence in love. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

It was based on my personal experiences and inexperience when I began dating again. It was originally just a Diary of what was happening then I wanted to share it with other women (and men).

I enjoyed the depth of the main character, Stacey. What was your process to bring that character to life?

Stacey reflected my life and through her, I was able to tell the story as seen through her eyes.

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

I was looking for ROMANCE. I was looking for Christian Grey (50 Shades of Grey). While the BDSM that he was into was way beyond what I would do, I loved the fact that he was so in love with Anastasia and only wanted to be with her. I found in my dating experiences men were not romantic or monogamous. Christian Grey was an anomaly.

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

I haven’t figured out what to write in my next book. I clearly left a sequel possibility on the last page but I have not formulated the path it will take.
