Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi! I am obsessed with the paranormal, magick, ghost stories – all the gothic parts of life. I began writing ghost stories in college, but decided to mix a little ghosts with mythology. That’s how the Oracle Series was born. As of today, I have published twelve books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The newest installment of The Oracle Series is The Reaper. It was inspired by my study into obsession, and just what we are willing to do for those we claim to love.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think so. I write all the time, so there is no ritual or procedure. I just open Google Docs and let my characters tell the story.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Too many to list, really. I adore Isabel Allende. And a close friend of mine – who also became my co-writer – T.H. Morris.
What are you working on now?
The next book in The Oracle Series. It’s currently untitled, but its an emotional rollar coaster.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Right now? Facebook. I love interacting with my fans!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write. Don’t worry about pretty words. Just get it on paper.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You can’t edit a blank page.
What are you reading now?
Hell House by Robert Matheson
What’s next for you as a writer?
Just to keep writing and publishing my stories.
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?
Blank noteboons would be a must.
