Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Fueled by insomnia and copious quantities of sugar, I am driven to write worlds I wish I could live in and characters I wish I could meet. Between Michigan weather and a chronic lack of athleticism, I am left to spend most of my time indoors writing. I live in the Thumb of Michigan, an area high on cows and low on bookstores. I started writing at fourteen and has been hopelessly addicted ever since. My hobbies include arguing with my dog, having staring contests with my cat, hiding from moths and stalking that mythological creature known as Sleep.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Wolf King launches July 31, 2018 and is the sequel to my debut, The Wolf Court. The duology was inspired by a dream I had of a girl and a wolf running, terrified, through a cold snowy forest. The rest is of course waiting for you to read.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Unusual, hmmmm. Well I don’t have an office so to put myself in the zone I put on some crazy looking lipstick. I never wear it out of the house, but somehow my “author face” wants dark purple lipstick with gold sparkles.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Nancy Farmer, House of the Scorpion. E.P.I.C. So good. Seriously stop reading this and go buy that book.
Moving on…
What are you working on now?
I have a fancy sci-fi romance trilogy on the stove as we speak, as well as a couple of other interesting treats in the oven. A teaser you ask? Well, Russia (in the future), the plague, and dragons.
Intrigued?
That’s my job.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write whatever comes into your head. And show it to no one. NO ONE. I’m not joking, you will regret those first drafts so much. It’s best no one else has that kind of power. Black mail is a very real threat.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Everyone does it different. There is no formula to success. Just everyone trying their best.
What are you reading now?
Nothing. I know, shocking, painful, true. Someday, my prince will come. Bearing books, and chocolate, and time to enjoy them both.
What’s next for you as a writer?
More books, duh. And probably a mental breakdown. Depends on my schedule.
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?
House of the Scorpion. Freckles by Gene Stratton-Porter, so sweet, that book kills me dead every time. And White Fang, by Jack London.
