Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Brazen Violations is my first book, and I am currently working on my next.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Brazen Violations is my first and latest releases. There wasn’t a single inspiration, rather the exploration of different characters. Concepts came while exploring the key characters. As they grew, aspects of the story emerged that I began to focus on, that demanded focus. And a lot of the time, that exploration starts with simply asking “what if…?”
