Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written three books making up The Morrigan Chronicles trilogy (Awakening, Forged, and Raze). I’m currently working on a crossover series and am bursting to get it down on paper. I love going on road trips in my Jeep and those experiences always make their way into my books. If you are a fan of the television Supernatural, Vikings, and Peaky Blinders—you will find a few “nods” to them throughout my books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Raze is the last book in The Morrigan Chronicles. I had it completely written when I went on a road trip with my Dad through South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. We had such a great time and I fell in love with that part of the country. We were sitting in a cabin in Red Lodge, Montana when I told my Dad I had to re-write most of the book because these places had to appear in the book. I was able to complete the book and print it out for my Dad to read before he passed away. That book and that trip will always hold a sacred place in my heart.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m a HUGE Kurt Cobain fan, so Nirvana is usually playing in the background, though I do cheat on them with Pearl Jam occasionally.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
SO MANY!!! I’m a huge fan of anything Leigh Bardugo writes. Melissa Albert, Stephanie Gerber, Victoria Schwab, and of course the wonderful and great Patrick Rothfuss
What are you working on now?
I have a crossover series I’m working on right now. I’m not saying who is the main character here, but I do tell you who it’s about in the Note From The Author section in Raze. I’m a fan of taking a minor character and creating an entirely new world for them to grow in.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have yet to figure that out!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write because you love it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Listen to things “backwards” to hear what someone is really telling you.
What are you reading now?
Lore by Alexandra Bracken
What’s next for you as a writer?
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 Six of Crows series for sure, and channel my inner Kaz Brekker.
