How old were you when you started writing?
55

Do you plan out your book with outlines and notecards? 
Or just write?

I just write – I never outline

Describe your perfect evening. 
Sitting on the beach with a warm bonfire, 
cold glass of wine, and my warm and 
cuddly husband

Where do you get your inspiration?
It varies but I would say overall I get 
inspiration from locations. 
My series are all set in locations I love. Lake 
Tahoe, San Juan Islands, Alaska, Hawaii, 
South Carolina Island, Oregon Coast, 
Montana.

What do you do when you get a writer's 
block? 
Take a walk until an idea occurs to me. It 
usually doesn’t take long.

Who is your favorite author? 
I’m asked that a lot but I honestly don’t have 
one.
Last book you read. 
No Living Soul by Julie Moffett


What would you do for a living if you 
weren’t awriter? 
I only started writing after I retired from the 
real world so I would probably be doing 
nothing, in terms of a job.

Who is the one person who has 
influenced your personal life the most andwhy? 
My husband. We are high school 
sweethearts who basically grew up 
together. I think we influenced each other at every point along the way.

What advice would you give someone 
who aspired to be a writer? 
Just do it. The only way to publish a novelis to put your butt in the seat and write it. Wishing you could publish a novel will getyou nowhere without taking action. 




Thank you, Kathi, for taking the time to interview with us. We at Visionand Verse wish you continued success in all your writing endeavors. Come back and see us again. Open invitation. Anytime.
