Today I'm being interviewed at The Write Way Cafe. I'm talking about my writing life, inspirations and chocolate cake. Here is a little taste.
If In the Shadow
of Vengeance was made into a movie, who would play your main characters, and
why?
What a wonderful thought! As I was writing Vengeance, I envisioned
Elizabeth Merlot as a combination between Julie Gonzalo and Stana Katic. They
portray such strong, spirited women. For
my villain, I have a little confession. I use to be an avid General Hospital
fan and my favorite character was Sonny Corinthos. When I started writing my
first novel, In the Shadow of Evil, I used the darkest side of Sonny for my
inspiration for Elías Mendoza. So Maurice Benard would be my choice. He knows
how to be charming one minute, and on a dime, completely ruthless. As for Noah
McNeil, I’ve haven’t found an actor that I can say, “He’s a perfect Noah.” Maybe your readers can give me some
suggestions.
If your readers are interested in other
inspirations I used for the series, I have created story boards for each book.

What or who has
been instrumental in or to your writing journey?
I have had some amazing people who have
supported me in my writing journey. First on the list has to be my mom. She
used to constantly ask when was I going to write my book. She saw something in
me that I didn’t see in myself. Sadly, she passed away before I had the courage
to take that first step. As for that first step, my wonderful sister, Mary gave
me that shove. When she decided to quit smoking, I told her I was her sponsor
of sorts and would do anything to support her. She challenged me to send her
the first ten pages of my first chapter. I started In the Shadow of Evil and
she loved it. After a year, I had a finished novel and she was smoke free for
365 days. Awesome moment for both of us.
