What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Spumoni, which is chocolate, cherry, and pistachio together. The best is when an ice cream shop has all three flavors, and you put it together yourself. The key is the chunks; you’ve got to have real cherries and pistachio chunks in there.
Which mythological creature are you most like? I’d say the mermaid. First, I’ve always loved the water. I spent two years living on a sailboat when I was a child. Second, I’m loyal until you do something that doesn’t warrant it. Then, I’ll drop you like a stinky sock, and you won’t hear from me again.
First book you remember making an indelible impression on you. It’s not possible to make an indelible impression on me because my memory is complete and utter crap. Honestly, I couldn’t tell you the last five books I’ve read without looking. Having said that, I remember falling in love with anything Jude Deveraux at a very young age. Her books created my passion for the genre for sure. I remember the spice, the slow burn, the angst, and, of course, the happily ever after.
How do you develop your plot and characters?I start with the characters and go from there. I have an in-depth character sheet about seven pages long, and as I’m filling it out, diving into my character’s hopes and dreams, the plot starts to develop. By the end of each character, I’ve got a pretty solid idea of what I’m doing with the story.
Describe your writing space. Depends on the temperature. If it’s warm outside, I’m in the sun. If that’s too hot, I’ll move to the table in the shade. If it’s still too hot or cold in Montana, I’m at my kitchen table or snuggled up by the fire. I’m still looking for my routine and may never find one, but so far, it’s working. I’ve tried going to coffee shops or bookstores, but it hasn’t worked. Instead, I move around my house and move when I need a change of scenery or get a cramp.

Excerpt
Three:
“So, do you take all your new hires to lunch?” she asks in
jest.
“Only the ones I’m trying to date.”
“You do this often, then. Oh wait, you don’t date. You’re a
one-and-done kind of guy.” Ah, the feistiness I’ve come to look forward to.
“Exactly, so I guess you could say you’re my first… pursuit,
that is. See, we each have firsts to give each other.” The look on her face is
priceless. I think I just stunned her into silence, but alas, I should know
better.
“Oh no, you can give me all the firsts you want, but you
won’t be getting mine.”
“I intend to claim them all, Lily. Whether you’ve come to
that realization is irrelevant because I plan to start soon.”
