When Secrets Lead to Suspense… The Curator’s Secret is a bit of a departure from the historicals I’ve been releasing over the past year—not only in that it’s contemporary romantic suspense, and released independently rather than through a publishing house, but in its theme and setting.

Interview with the Author
- Do you read books in this genre? If so, who do you like to read?
Typically, I read and write mostly historical romance. I also acquire and edit historical romances for Wild Heart Books. Most of my “reading” time is actually editing. In the past, have definitely enjoyed some contemporary romantic suspense when I wanted to change things up.
Interestingly enough, this novel began as a dual time period story. The historical back story revealed what happened with Clara and William, the Edwardian-era couple our modern heroine is researching as she prepares to open Winter Haven Cottage to the public. Readers can email me from my website with their Amazon receipt number and request a PDF of the deleted historical scenes.
- What helps you to write? Do you eat snacks, listen to music?
A cup of tea and a snack in the afternoon comes in handy when my attention starts to flag. If I’m writing a historical, I’ll occasionally turn on some historical music, such as the score from “Last of the Mohicans” for Colonials or some of my Civil War-era dance music if I’m creating a scene from that time period. Also…writing outside on my patio when the weather is nice is especially inspiring. I find that being close to nature helps the story flow. I take a lot of walks!
- What is one thing readers would be surprised to learn about you?
As mentioned above, I enjoy doing living history and vintage dance. It’s the most fun when I can bring my books to an event at a historical site or festival.
- What inspired you to write this book?
The Spanish moss-draped historical district on Georgia’s Jekyll Island, where Gilded Age and Edwardian millionaires spent their winters at the castle-like hotel or built fabulous “cottages” (which they considered rustic) provides inspiration in itself. The brooding atmosphere hints of romance…and secrets…both of which this novel has plenty of.
- What is one question you would like readers to ask you? What would be your answer?
What’s next for you? And the answer would be…my trilogy set during the 1830s Georgia Gold Rush. Book one, The Songbird and the Surveyor, will debut this fall with Wild Heart Books. If you’d like to read a historical before then, check out my Scouts of the Georgia Frontier Series. If you prefer more contemporary romantic suspense, you might like my Restoration Trilogy.
