Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
When I’m not wrangling toddler boys and spending time with my husband, I write fantasy and contemporary young adult and new adult novels. Born and raised in sunny Florida, the only thing keeping me in the heat is a not so healthy Disney World obsession and a love for the ocean. I am the author of The Forgotten Fairytales series–The Forgotten Fairytales & Forget Me Not. Book 3 is coming next year!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Forget Me Not is the second book in the Forgotten Fairytales series. The series was inspired by a picture I found of a castle. I just had to know what was inside and before I knew it, it was a school of reincarnated fairytale characters!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have to write from start to finish. I rarely write scenes out of order and when I do it’s rare I use them.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Sarah Dessen and Judy Blume made me fall in love with reading, then I discovered Meg Cabot and from there I spiraled into a world of fantasy young adult books.
What are you working on now?
I am currently writing the 3rd book in the Forgotten Fairytale series. On the side I am working on a New Adult series that I am super excited about!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook is awesome to meet other readers and bloggers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep at it and never give up, no matter how defeating it can be!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Always take risks, if you don’t you’ll always regret what could’ve been.
What are you reading now?
I am reading Long Shot by Kayti McGee
What’s next for you as a writer?
After I finish the Forgotten Fariytales series, I have a few other books I am working on. One is a New Adult contemporary series and the other is a stand alone YA contemp series.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Oh god, this is so hard. The Duff by Kody Keplinger, Insatiable by Meg Cabot & Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
