Why did you write this book?
I love the summer and sitting on the beach down at the Jersey Shore. I also wanted to deal with the friendship between three unlikely women with different dreams and hidden secrets.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I enjoy reading romances, women's fiction, cozy mystery and thrillers.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I always go back to Lucky Santangelo. Jackie Collins created a three dimensional character that was an extremely independent woman who at times showed her vulnerability when it came to the men in her life.
What are you working on at the moment?
I'm working on a cozy mystery set on the Jersey Shore and writing book 2 to Down at the Shore.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Coming soon will be Carousel Plaza. It's a women's fiction mystery romance. I so enjoy mixing the genres together.
