Thank you so much for joining me today, Tonya! 

Thank you for having me! I'm so honored!!!

Can you tell us a little about your new Magical Cures mysteries? 

Here's the blurb (I love it!)

                                                  Bubble... Bubble...

June Heal has nothing to lose when she relocates her homeopathic cure shop, A Dose of Darla, from the flea market booth in her home town, to a quaint shop in the cozy but unusual little town of Whispering Falls, Kentucky. Or so it seems.

                                                  Cures and trouble...

Whispering Falls has a lot of secrets. From talking snow globes to whispering animals not to mention a few sprinkles of fairy dust, June realizes Whispering Falls is more magical than she thought. . .literally.

                                                      

                                                      Magic stirs...

June discovers she was born into a family of psychics, and her homeopathic cures truly are magical. Unfortunately, they are not magical enough to save her from being the number one murder suspect when a member of the community that she had just had a disagreement with shows up face down in the lake with June’s lucky charm in the victim’s grasp.

                                                  And troubles double...

Add to that an attraction to her high school best friend, Sheriff Oscar Park and  Mr. Prince Charming, her cat, is stealing charms from Belle’s Baubles, June is forced to clear her name in more ways than murder. After all, they don’t have cauldrons in jail.

What inspired this series?

A Charming Crime is a made up world of magical/psychic stuff….I’ve never written anything where I completely make up the entire world and words with in that world. It was a ton of fun!

You have so many projects going on, frequent book releases, yet each new book is fresh and unique. How do you keep up with so many different series?

Series are so easy for me. I'm a person who invests in relationships. I don't have a MILLION friends. When I make friends with someone, I completely invest in them. And it's the same with my characters. I want to be a part of their life and it takes more than one book to get through their story.

If you were stranded on an island and could only have 3 books with you, what would they be? (Besides a loaded Kindle, of course!)

OH, man!!! I was going to say my Kindle....

The Secret (because I believe in the Universe and all it has to offer!)

Notebook to write in.

Another notebook to write in!

Pick one:

Cats or dogs? Dogs

Morning or evening? Morning

Chocolate or vanilla? . . .RED HOTS!

Walking in the sunshine or dancing in the rain? walking in the sunshine

Reading by a cozy fire or on a sunny porch? cozy fire

Reading or writing? writing

What are you working on now? 

I use to try to get one book out and take a little break between them, but I'm finding that more and more difficult because all of the people in my head start to fight and want to kick the other out. So to keep the peace, I go from one story to another. I'm working on the second novel in the Magical Cures Series, A Charming Cure and the second Olivia Davis Paranormal Mystery, Color Me A Crime.

What do your fans have to look forward to?

More and more quirky characters and some belly laughs!

Thanks so much for having me, Melissa!! It has been a ton of fun!!!
