Author Interview

What is your motivation behind BOOTS AND BEDLAM? 

My readers are my motivation for continuing with the Sweeney Sisters Series. As soon as I release one, fans are begging for more. Particularly with BOOTS AND BEDLAM as I left them with a bit of a cliffhanger. Don’t worry. You won’t have to wait long. I’m planning to release TANGLE OF STRINGS, the fourth and final (for now) in the series, in mid-late January.

Why did you want to write it?

Sam Sweeney’s wedding was the natural next step for the Sweeney family. I’m hesitant to give too much away in fear of ruining the surprise for those who haven’t read the first and second installments. By the time I reach the end of one novel, I automatically know what’s coming next. Their lives continue to play out in my head, which translates into more episodes for you to read. 

What do you hope readers take with them after they’ve read it?

BOOTS AND BEDLAM is a little more light-hearted than the previous two in the series. Although not totally. I had to throw in plenty of family drama to keep you reading. More than anything, I’d like for my readers to finish the last chapter with a warm feeling, a feeling like they can accomplish anything for the sake of family. I hope you’ll watch my book trailer. It really captures the tone of the novel.


Do you have a favorite scene that you can share with us?

The opening scene is my favorite by far. Eli Marshall has decided to ask Samantha Sweeney to marry him. He’s terrified she’ll say no because of her fear of commitment. He devises an elaborate plan to propose. You’ll have to read to find out more. But I promise it will bring the spirit of romance to your holiday season.

If you could sum the book up in one sentence, what would you say?

‘Tis the season for love, family, and chaos. 

Share something about you that is unique - maybe about how/where you write... or favorite snack foods?

This month I’m participating in NaNoWriMo. For those of you who aren’t familiar with national writing month, NaNoWriMo is a challenge for authors to write a 50,000-word novel in one month. During November, I plan to go as far underground as possible to focus on my next WIP, a project unrelated to the Sweeny Sisters Series that I’m very excited about.

‘Tis the season for chaos.

Wedding bells will soon be ringing in the Lowcountry. All Sam Sweeney wants is to marry her man on Christmas Eve surrounded by family and friends. But emerging complications, some humorous and some not so humorous, threaten to converge and derail the best-laid plans during the busy stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Amidst the chaos—dealing with real estate, planning a wedding, running a seafood market, honoring traditions, and contending with teenagers—even the weather rears its head when the weatherman forecasts a white Christmas. Never has family support been more needed, but will it be enough to restore order and save the day?

Escape to the Lowcountry this Christmas where romance, intrigue, and holiday merrymaking await you.

Set in the South Carolina Lowcountry and packed with Southern charm and memorable characters, HER SISTER'S SHOES portrays three sisters—Samantha, Jackie, and Faith—who struggle to balance the demands of career and family while remaining true to themselves.

Samantha Sweeney has always been the glue that holds her family together, their go-to girl for love and support. When an ATV accident leaves her teenage son in a wheelchair, she loses her carefully constructed self-control.

In the after-gloom of her dreaded fiftieth birthday and the discovery of her husband’s infidelity, Jackie realizes she must reconnect with her former self to find the happiness she needs to move forward.

Faith lacks the courage to stand up to her abusive husband. She turns to her sisters for help, placing all their lives at risk.

In the midst of their individual challenges, the Sweeney sisters must cope with their mother’s mental decline. Is Lovie in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, or is her odd behavior normal for a woman her age? No one, including Lovie, understands her obsession with a rusty key she wears around her neck.

For fans of Elin Hildebrand, HER SISTER'S SHOES is a contemporary women’s novel that explores and proves the healing power of family.

Family Drama, Southern Style.
There's a stranger in town. And it’s no coincidence when she shows up uninvited at a Sweeney family wedding. All eyes are drawn to this urchin who seems to have washed in with the tide. Before the night is over, the doe-eyed waif charms young and old with her street smarts and spunky personality. For better or worse, Annie Dawn is here to stay.

The memorable Sweeney sisters from Her Sister’s Shoes have returned with more suspense and family drama to hold you spellbound until the dramatic conclusion. As she approaches the next stage of her life as an empty nester, Jackie is torn between expanding her fledgling design business and spending these last precious months with her boys before they fly the coop. Her own worst enemy, Sam is terrified of making a commitment to Eli Marshall, handsome police officer, true love of her life. Her resolve is tested when a ghost from her past shows up after nearly two decades. Faith nurtures her seven-year-old daughter who is recovering from the trauma of her abusive father. Is the threat in the past, or is there more danger on the horizon? The sisters seek guidance from their mother, Lovie, a true Southern matriarch who shows them how to respond to adversity with grace and dignity.

Things are heating up in the Lowcountry. The Sweeney sisters remind us, once again, that being a part of a family is about more than sharing the same DNA.
