Ester is a writer and publisher and lives in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, along with her husband, Jerry, their two miniature horses, Pepper and Bucky, and their new puppy, Chewie. She has been writing sci-fi and paranormal/inspirational adventure romances for over 30 years, writing on the edge of reality. Her non-fiction children's books are true stories told in a fictional way. She is currently working on a second sci-fi series, The Vaedra Saga, in the Vaedra Chronicles Series. She recently finished her Angel Chronicles Series with six books. When Ester isn’t writing, she enjoys photography, sewing, crafts, making her own wine, canning vegetables and gardening.

Tell us about the genre(s) you write and the type of characters you love to write about. 

I write sci-fi and paranormal adventure romances as well as children’s stories. Most of my characters are people who need a second chance at something.

Do you have a new book or series?

My current work in progress is a sci-fi which takes place in the Vaedra system on a prison planet.

Which tasks/projects do you find you tend to procrastinate on and why? 

Lately, I’ve been procrastinating on my new sci-fi story (doing crafts and painting the interior of my house) until I added a fantasy element into the story. I think things will start moving along now.

If you had to pick any character in one of your books, who is most similar to you, who would you choose? Why? 

Bailey Jackson in “Bailey’s Irish Dream.” Mostly because I think I’m a nurturing person and she (Bailey) made me realize that. Plus, in my travels to Ireland, I experienced some of the scenes and places she visited. And it was my dream that made the story come alive.

If you were transported to the setting of the book you're currently reading or writing, where would you be? 

In the current book, I’d be on the prison planet, Plumaris in the Vaedra System, deep inside a mine, digging for rubies.

If you saw a doorway/portal in the middle of the forest, would you enter it?

Yes, but I’d bring someone with me.

What do you wish you were better at?

I wish I could draw better. I see so much in my head that I want to put it on paper, but I don’t know how to do that. I can sometimes draw what I physically see, but things that are in my head are harder to manifest on paper.

What is something you say a lot?

“Thank you Jesus!”   He’s helped me out a lot.

What do you do when no one is around?

If  I’m in my car, I’m usually singing.

When running away for fun, where can you most likely be found?

If I plan the “run away,” I’d be at the beach, soaking up the sun.

Where is one place you don't like to be?

Outside in the cold.

You get in trouble, who are you most likely with?

I avoid trouble as much as possible.

What are one of your quirks? 

I usually write my stories in long-hand first, then put them into the computer (while editing it)

Will you be attending any book signings or conventions?  

I’ll be at MidSouth Con in Ocean Springs, MS this March

I’ll be in North Carolina in April at the 3rd Annual Sun Valley Commons Spring Market.

In July, I’ll be at the Greenbrier Mountain Festival in Pittman Center, TN.

In October, I’ll be at the Indie Romance Convention in Lebanon, TN.
