Tell me three words that describe yourself starting with A, B, and C.
Ambitious, bubbly, compassionate
What are your three favorite things?
My family, writing, wine
What for you is the best part of writing?
The creative ideas. I love
waking up or walking and a plot idea strikes. I immediately write the idea in
hopes I’ll have the time to write the story.
What is the worst?
I wouldn’t called what I’m about to say the worst, but the most challenging. I
want to write and not worry about social media. Posting on my blog, Facebook,
Twitter is easy, but having to pimp my work to the far ends of the earth
(that’s what it feels like to me) is a struggle. A lot of time passes and
before I know it a day or two is gone.
Is there a process you stick to, or do you just write as it hits you?
As a rule, I write or do something pertaining to writing every day for six
to eight hours.
What is the ultimate goal you have for your career?
That’s an easy question, for readers to love my stories and want more.
Will there be more books in your series, or can you tell us about any
previous books?
Yes, Entangled Love will have a sequel. Johnny, the bartender, has been
nagging me to write his story.
Previous books – Kidnapped Hearts, released in
February of 2013, is romantic suspense between a retired FBI agent, Jake
Gibson, and a hometown girl, Pamela Young. Jake keeps Pamela out of reach of a
known terrorist while trying to resist her charms. I’m working on the sequel, Mystic Hearts, now.
Same cast of characters but focusing on another agent, Larry Newman, and
Charlene Smith who was kidnapped in the first book.
Blurb:
Emma James is on a mission to rebuild
her life after the loss of her husband. When her childhood friend offers an
innocent getaway to Santa Monica, she accepts thinking fun in the sun will be a
great way to start fresh.
Retired professional skateboarder, Ryan
Cross is a gorgeous, lovable, ladies’ man. With two skateboard parks and a fat
bank account, he’s on top of his game. What could make him happier?
The love of his childhood friend.
Chaos and life-threatening obstacles
have Ryan investigating Emma’s husband's death. When he discovers handwritten
notes made by her late husband, he learns some friends can't be trusted. They
will stop at nothing to get what they want, including putting Emma’s life in
danger.

Author Bio:
As a child, I entertained myself for hours playing pretend, but
not with dolls and such. I created stories and pictured them in my mind,
sometimes even acted them out, my well preserved secret until now. I spent
years after leaving school trying to figure out my niche. Not being a literary
enthusiast, I never thought my childhood pastime would lead in this direction.
In life, one door closes and another opens, so I’m told. This
was true for me. I lost my mother, my best friend, to cancer. After a year
without her, I picked up her favorite hobby…reading. After one book, a romantic
suspense, I was hooked. In the past, I’d fall asleep after a few minutes of
reading. Now, books rank up there with a good red wine. It didn’t take long for
my childhood muse to come back in adult version urging me to put the scenes in
my head on paper.
I hope I have provided you with the escape similar to the ones I
conjured in childhood and rediscovered as an adult, and I hope you enjoy
reading my books as much as I have loved creating them.
Cait lives in Virginia with her husband and three daughters.
