Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a romance author and avid reader. I currently have three books published and many more on the way.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Ferocious which is the start of my second paranormal romance series entitled Secret of Ceres. It was inspired by the need I saw in creating more paranormal romance novels that featured predominantly black characters.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I am a total binge writer. I may not write for months at a time but when I start I can’t stop until all the ideas are out of my head.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
As a black paranormal author, I am greatly influenced by Octavia Butler. For books, the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series influenced me a lot because it was the first romantic series to introduce me to the urban fantasy style.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on several short stories for publication in an all black paranormal author anthology as well as the next books in my new series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My best method of promoting my books is social media networking. I love connecting with people and I find people are more willing to support your work if you support theirs.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice to new authors is to keep learning and push your boundaries to become better writers.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just keep writing.
What are you reading now?
Several books at the moment but the most recent is Becoming by Michelle Obama
What’s next for you as a writer?
I just started my own company so I would have to say focusing on the business side of the literary world and seeing how that translates into my creative process.
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?
My kindle so I could have all the books!
