How would you describe <Found> to a new reader?

• Science Fiction how we might live and travel in the 25th century

What was the inspiration behind <Found> ?

• I ended my first book, Similar, with an unanswered question. What happened to the humans who left with the aliens? So I had to write their story.

Which authors do you admire? How have they influenced your writing style?

• Isaac Asimov, Gene Rodenbery, Edgar Allen Poe

Can you tell us a little about the locations in your book?

• This story begins on Mars in the 25th century. Humans and aliens travel out of our solar system and find a planet where lost aliens reside.

What advice would you give to aspiring authors?

• Read as much as you can and what ever you write, save it even if you think its junk. I never did and that is my one big regret.

What's your writing process?

• Start writing after breakfast and finish before 5:00pm. I don't write in the evening. That's my husband and TV time.

Where next? What are you working on now?
