What is one unexpected, good thing writing has brought to your life?
That one’s easy—friendships I would never have had without them. Specifically, my two best friends in the world: Renee and Chris

If you could take a January holiday with no limits on cost, location, etc, where would you go? Who would you take with you?
Renee would want me to say a cruise! But honestly, I would love to go back to Great Britain. I went once many years ago planning to see it all, but I fell in love with Cornwall and just couldn’t leave. Had I not had animals and the UK not have had a quarantine for any animals born outside it, I might have stayed.
I’d really love to go to Wales. I’ve felt called to that country for a very long time, which I think is shy my first heroine was born and raised there.
I would take Chris because it was where she was born. And Renee just because we’re kind of a team.

Of all the books you’ve written, do you have a favorite?
It tends to be whichever one I’m writing. But there are those that I remember more than others, usually because of the characters.
Brought to Heel—because of Dylan and Skylar, but also because it was my first paranormal/shifter romance.
Marked and Mated because of Jean-Michel and Darby
Alpha Dog because of Fitz and JJ.
Overlord because of Gareth and Sloan.
The Bargain because of Con and Katy.
Noah because of Noah and Zara.
Advance because of Roark and Sage AND because it was written as a novella and included in an anthology that earned me my USA Today Bestselling Author status.
Submission because of Gabe and Anne. I wanted Anne Boleyn to have a happy ending

What was the first book that made you cry?
Interestingly, I’ve only cried once when reading a book… and it was one I was writing. It was the hero’s death scene. The stupid thing is I knew he wasn’t going to die! I was typing away just crying my eyes out and having to use tissues. Note: I am not a pretty crier!

When did you write your first story or book? Who did you show it to? Did they encourage you?
The first book I ever wrote got looked at by two agents who wanted to work with me. My father was in failing health and I never pursued it. My first book as Delta James was published by Stormy Night Publications in June of 2018. SNP taught me so much and helped me learn a lot of what I needed to as a writer. In April of 2019, I became an indie author and never looked back!

What was the best money you ever spent as a writer?
That one is easy: hiring Renee Brooks to do all of my marketing. Without her, I never could have achieved all I have… and all that is to come! The second would be Skye Warren’s Romance Author Mastermind conference. Neither was inexpensive, but both have been worth every dime I spent.
