Who do you consider the most swoon-worthy man/woman in the literary world? How about on tv/in the movies? 
James Fraser from the Outlander series is my favorite swoon-worthy hero in books. He is the perfect combination of flawed, gritty, and chivalrous. Young Brad Pitt is my ideal of a swoon-worthy actor. I especially loved him in A River Runs through It. Grrrrrrr….Top 5

What are your thoughts on book covers- in your opinion do they make or break a book?
I wouldn’t say they make or break a book, but they definitely catch the eye.

 What’s the last song you listened to?
Want to Want Me by Jason Derulo

 How do you come up with character names?  How do you come up with novel titles?
I just go with what feels right for the personality of a character or the scope of a project. 

Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author? 
The biggest is to be realistic about what you want to achieve from writing.
