I'm in the Spotlight!

Yet another Thursday is upon is, folks! :)

Today, I want to share something with you. I am currently in an author spotlight, so I figured I'd share my interview and video with you! :)




What inspires you to get out of bed each day?

It’s not so much inspiration as much as it is the three dogs waking me up as they claim they are starving to death at 6 a.m. LOL.



What do you do to unwind and relax?

I do some woodworking, wood furniture refinishing and such. It can be hard work at times, but it brings about a zen-like state for me, and I feel almost as emotionally satisfied working on a wood piece as I do finishing a story.



Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

In this current age of publishing, the industry is overflowing with books and authors. It can be very difficult to sell yourself as an author when you are one small fish in a very large and very crowded ocean. I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but I am unlike any other author you’ve read before. My stories are character driven. What you will experience is an intimate, emotional experience that stays with you. You’re not going to get a lot of flash. No car explosions, no gratuitous sex. What you get are genuine, personal, touching, heart felt, emotional, cerebral stories.




Loving Her, The Series, Volume 1


In this series of stories, we meet a group of loving friends and couples. Each member of this group is diverse in personalities and abilities, but they are tied together by the common denominator – love. from Chelle Cordero, Combining Passion & Suspense


The Model


She’s exotic. She’s beautiful. She’s talented. She’s unique. She’s Stephania. A young successful model who started from nothing, she has experienced all the ups and downs of life. Never one to be kept down, she persists through life’s trials and reaches for the fairytale ending she has always hoped for. Stephania’s emotional journey is the fourth story in the Loving Her series.


The Mechanic


Linda – her name means beautiful… After facing rejection from her parents because she is a lesbian, Linda didn’t feel beautiful… she felt lost and alone. As a skilled mechanic, Linda built her business… Her love life was a different matter. Until Katie… Together they survived, and together they would face their future, finding hope and joy neither ever expected.


The Cop

She is dedicated, determined, distinctive and deep. Donna’s rich and touching story is second in the Loving Her series.


The Ballerina


A southern, redheaded, pickup driving lesbian ballerina? You bet! Meet Liz: a southern belle with flair. Vivacious, eclectic and graceful, she is unique to say the least. The first in the series of Loving Her stories, Liz’s story is the kind that stays with you long after you’ve closed the book.
