Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi there! I am a speculative and contemporary romance author who loves the more broken and strange characters. My 5th book, Ember’s Secret, releases November 23! During the day, I am a receptionist at a local university and IT student. At night, I am…usually asleep….
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Solstice Quartet is inspired by the swan maiden myths that permeate nearly every culture on Earth. Ember’s Secret (book 1) is also brought to you by Food Network, namely Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. The hero does not look like Guy Fieri, just for the record.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write any- and everywhere. I currently live with my sister and her husband, so my writing space is a corner of the sectional couch.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have been huge fan of Anne Rice since high school. I’ve always loved how lyrical her prose is. Tiffany Reisz is in the same vein for me. Landra Graf and Katherine McIntyre are fantastic authors as well, and I’m lucky that they’re part of my writing squad.
What are you working on now?
Book 3 of the Solstice Quartet! Book 2 comes out in April, and I CANNOT WAIT for you to meet the middle sister, Amy. She’s amazing.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Hah. BookBub is a great resource. I put ARCs on Booksprout (Amy’s will be up there soon!), and basically just throw spaghetti at the wall. I’m bad at marketing….
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Learn to market. If I’d realized how crucial it’d be, I would have majored in marketing in college, instead of English. Most publishers don’t have the budget to help.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Tell yourself the story first, then flesh out the details.
What are you reading now?
Wisdom Check by Katherine McIntyre!
What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep working, keep writing.
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?
The Angel by Tiffany Reisz, A Game of Thrones, whatever omnibus I can find to cheat the system….
