Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve always loved supernatural suspense books. I like to think that my writing is like my favorite chocolate: dark and sweet. I’m the author the the Lilith Straight series (think single mom/succubus) as well as the Bit Parts series (Vampires, empty theaters, and baseball.)
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Currently, I’m writing a supernatural thriller about angels and demons, two of my favorite topics. I get a lot of inspiration from other writers like Stephen King and Charlaine Harris. My husband and kids are always giving me new ideas as well.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
For some reason, writing is thirsty work. I almost always have an iced tea or hot coffee at hand.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There’s so many! I love the Sookie Stackhouse books from Charlaine Harris along with anything written by Stephen King. I also love Jeaniene Frost and the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs.
What are you working on now?
Actually, I have a few books I’m working on right now. One is about nephilim (angel/human offspring), and another is about demons here in my hometown of Detroit.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I keep in contact with readers and other writers on Reddit and on GoodReads.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Put your nose to the grindstone and write! Don’t worry if it’s good or bad, just keep working at it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Take a character and put him/her in a situation they would most hate to be in. That will give you enough conflict and drama for your story.
What are you reading now?
A Gentleman in Moscow. It’s my book club’s pick this month.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Writing, writing, and more 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?
Would an entire series count? I’d have to bring all of the Harry Potter books in addition to The Stand by Stephen King (my personal favorite book by him!)
