Q: Let me start with asking you to tell us a little bit about yourself.

A:  I’m a lifelong resident of North Texas, and while I don’t enjoy our blistering summers, right now I’m very much enjoying our 70-degree winter. Besides being a writer, I work for an attorney who specializes in wills and estate planning. Most importantly, I have three very spoiled but loveable cats.

Q: When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

A:  I’ve always loved story,
