Tell us a bit about your latest work. 

The Rock Star & The Outlaw is a time-travel adventure about a hard-rocking singer and a time-traveling cowboy, who end up running from the law no matter what “when” they land in. He’s from 1887, she’s from 2025 and they are in for the time-traveling ride of their lives. The story was inspired by the music of The Pretty Reckless and the book includes a full chapter-by-chapter playlist of their music, which heads off each of Amaryllis’ chapters, and the songs by other artists, which head off LeRoy’s chapters.

What are the themes and subjects you tend to revisit in your work? 

Most of my works feature strong female protagonists, so that’s a common thread, but I write in multiple genres, so each of my works are very different. The books in my Women in the West series each have strong female protagonists and feature fictionalized versions of true historic old West characters. The Rock Star & The Outlaw has a strong female protagonist, but it has a strong male protagonist to balance it out.
