Welcome to my blog. Please tell us about your
novel, A Golden Princess.
Small for her age, Princess Nyala is determined to be
noticed and someday rule with fairness and valor in Kaloma. Then one day,
all changes when she looks upon the stars and they predict her accident. After
she awakens to a broken body, her father takes to his goblet and she steps into
power in her kingdom at sixteen.
Her father said that no man would choose a half-broken princess. Is that how Prince Nicolao sees her after the accident? Her heart is unsure and out of fear she keeps him away to avoid a broken heart. As soon the other kingdoms discover the condition of the Royal House of Kaloma, they too will prey on her vulnerability to steal her kingdom from her hands.
Where did you get your inspiration for this story?
It came to me one day, when I didn't expect it. I wondered
about medieval times and a crippled main character. I have never seen another
medieval book that deals with the subject and it thrilled me to do something
about it. Also, once I saw a young man whose eyes, hair and skin were in
different tones of gold, but with an undertone of black too. I asked him about
his parents and his father was black skinned while his mother was white.
(Brazilian descendants) it made such an impression on me, that I had to have a
golden princess for one of my Royal Romance books.
That is so interesting. What kind of research did you do?
Some about wheel chairs in medieval times. Also about horse
accidents and back injuries.
Tell me about one of the main characters and what
you love about him or her?
Nyala, the princess in this tale, is small and shy yet, when
life throws a curve at her, she becomes a hero that not even she could see
before. She is so much like me in many ways, and that keeps her close to my
heart. You can say we are soul mates.

your recent and past books that you have written?

Thank you for this interview! :-)
I like that the princess is not perfect. Very cool.
Much as I'd like to read the book, I'm not going to publicly post my email though. Its too easy for harvesters to get emails that way. You might consider an alternate way to host these. There are some out there that don't require public posting of private information.
I love books where there are unlikely heroes, or people overcoming obstacles. This sounds like a good read! blueirishmoon at hotmail dot com
