one too many bad dates, determined to rebuild a stable life and career as a private
investigator in Silicon Valley. But when the man
she knew as one name walks into her office with another, will her curiosity once
again lead her to risk her heart?

Interview

What do you enjoy most about writing?
Spending time with my characters in their world and lives.
What is your work ethic when it comes to writing?
Workaholic.
How do you cope with stress as an author?
I spend a lot of time on my Facebook profile and email commiserating
with other writers, sharing goals, or just talking about the weather.
Do things your family or friends do ever end up in a book?
Yes. Then it gets cut, unless I get permission. If it’s recognizable.
What are some jobs you’ve done before (or while) you were
a writer?
When I started writing fiction seriously, I was a technical writer.
It was my second career and I did both for a long time.
What kind of books do you read when taking a break from your
own writing?
Romance by other authors, all across the spectrum, from sweet
to erotic to historical to fantasy/paranormal. Poetry, memoirs, and “mainstream”
fiction.
What was the proudest moment of your life so far?
When a friend of mine who was dying told me that the letter I
wrote to her meant so much to her she wanted to have it laminated on her desk for
her children to inherit. I thought if I never wrote anything else that I had achieved
something worthwhile because my words reached her and made her understand what she
meant to me.
Imagine you get to go on a dream vacation, but you have only
one hour to pack and leave, and it starts as soon as you finish this interview.
What will you take with you and where will you go?
My husband, passport, jeans, sneakers, t-shirt, sweater, my Nook,
purse (with money and credit cards!), phone, my laptop and my toiletries. Portugal.
Where were you at midnight, on December 31st when the new
century started?
On the beach in Half Moon Bay with my husband, friends and dog.
What do you like to do when you’re bored?
Read!
Please underline which statement is more like you:
“I am a vacation spa because I am laid back and relaxed.”
“I am a ten-countries in ten-days tour vacation, because
I do things as fast as possible.”

Please complete the sentences

I love pizza with artichoke hearts, olives and tomatoes.
I’m always ready for having lunch with a friend.
When I’m alone, I am reading, writing and talking to people
on the Internet.
You’d never be able to tell, but I’m a good singer. *wink*
If I had a halo it would be a
hand-me down from someone better who loved me anyway.
If I could heal I’d make everyone I love better.
I can never be blonde because it doesn’t go with my
coloring.
