Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Most little children like story time. They like to have the words of others read to them. I was always the one that wanted to do the writing and story telling for myself. I wanted my stories being told.
At a very young age, I began documenting characters and worlds that my imagination created. That’s how I became a writer. I wanted to express myself, and most of the time, my characters were the best way to do that. Animals have always been a terrific catalyst for me. I was always close to them, and therefore, made them have great importance in most of my books. I saw them them more as people than animals. Weird I know, but its true.
I have been accused of having a “Princess Complex,” which coincides with me being the first and only daughter in my family, and my astrological sign, Virgo. Sadly, I cannot always have my way in this big world, and that is another reason why I write. I can twist and manipulate reality in a way that fits my desires. Reality is not always my friend. When I write, I can effectively change that reality, and that is a gift in and of itself.
I am absolutely in love with wolves, and that is why I find it so easy to write about werewolves. Ever since I could hold a pencil in my hand, I wrote down all the stories my mind could conjure up, and let me tell you, I came up with some wacky stuff! But that’s me in a nut shell! I love to be spontaneous and crazy, its just who I am, and who I will always be!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Phased is the name of my latest book! My inspiration was actually my seventh grade English teacher! She had one day every week that was dedicated to just writing short stories! Of course that was my favorite time of the week! I first wrote Phased when I was in seventh grade, and finally got up the nerve to publish it in highschool! With out her, Phased may have never been a possibility, and I thank my luck stars she forced us to write all those stories!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I always have to write with music on! I have a horrible time writing when I don’t have my headphones on! I never knew why, but I can’t complain! I love music as much as I love books!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Quinn Loftis was a HUGE inspiration to me. She not only helped me with my writing, but she helped me with a personal problem, and it made my love for her and her books grow that much more!
What are you working on now?
I am actually working on seventeen other books, but the three I am focusing on the most are: Forget Me Not, Book 2 in the Phased Moonlight Series, Stolen, Book 1 in the Forbidden Blood Series, and Vo’Arum, a book I a co-writing with a good friend and fellow author, Matthew Berlin!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am actually very new to the promoting world, and I just keep searching for new ways to help get my name out there! It isn’t about making money, but more about sharing the worlds I create with others.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
DON’T LET BAD REVIEWS STOP YOU FROM YOUR DREAM!! When first published Phased, I got a review that completely ripped my heart apart, but did I stop? HECK NO! I took Phased off the market and rewrote it! Making it even better! Not everyone will like your book, and that is okay! Just know that all the reviews will pay off in the end!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
KEEP WRITING! Don’t let anything get in the way of your dreams, and I live by that saying everyday of my life!
What are you reading now?
I am currently Rereading, the Elfin Series, by the one and only Quinn Loftis! I love this series, and I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves magic, love, and hot, possessive males!
What’s next for you as a writer?
WRITE, WRITE, and WRITE AGAIN! I will never stop writing! I have tried to take a break, and I almost went insane! Writing is my escape and I will always come back to it! It is my life, and whether or not I publish these other workings or not, who knows! I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it!
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 Grey Wolves Series.
Prince of Wolves
Blood Rites
Beyond the Veil
Fate and Fury
Sacrifice of Love
(This isn’t in order, and there are a few that I left out because these are my favorite!)
