- If you were not a writer what would you be doing?
I’d actually love to produce and direct films
someday. I love creating stories, so if I wasn’t a writer of books, perhaps I
can do it on film.
- If you wrote a book about your life what would the
title be?
Wine and Chocolate with a Side of Dogs
- What is the hardest thing about being an author?
Time. I have the ideas, but getting the time, on top
of caring of a 4 and 7-year-old, is tough. Really, really tough.
- What is the best thing about being an author?
Sharing my imagination with others and hearing
someone tell me that my story helped their teenager or themselves love reading.
- Have you ever been star struck by meeting one of
your favorite authors? If so who was it?
Having lunch with the author of Skinny Bitch, Rory
Freedman, was pretty freaken awesome.
- What book changed your life?
The Vampire Diaries. I wasn’t a reader until I
picked up that book and it led me on the journey to love reading, and then
create my own.
- What were your some of favorite books growing up?
Twilight, The Vampire Diaries and Evermore. They
hooked me from the very start.
- What books are currently in your to be read pile?
Too many. Right now, I’m reading The Hunger Games
and Little Fires Everywhere
- Which do you prefer ebooks, print, or audio books?
eBooks unless it’s a signed paperback. I love
paperback but eBooks are more affordable, so I can buy more, but also, my eyes
have a tough time with paperback. I like to be able to make it big and bright.
- If you could live inside the world of a book or
series which world would it be and why?
The Vampire Diaries again. Mystic Falls is adorable
and I’d love to kick with Damon Salvatore anytime.

Book Description:
She's stalked, hunted, and a
villainous vampire desires her blood.
Mercy’s life is anything but
ordinary. A stalker lurks in the shadows, and a man rescues her from a
life-threatening car accident, but vanishes right before her eyes.
But this man who she thought was
a hallucination, tracks her down at a nearby cove, and claims they were once in
love from another time. Another century.
Mercy has no memory of this world
he shares, and instinctively doesn’t trust him.
He also reveals to her a
life-changing secret—she’s a powerful witch, vampires are real, and she's
destined to destroy them.
Mercy finds herself dragged into
a centuries-old battle against the undead, and a sadistic vampire leader has
set his sights on her. And he will stop at nothing until he claims Mercy as his
own.
She and her coven won’t go down
without a fight. She needs to discover the truth about her past, and the power
she holds, before it’s too late.

EXCERPT 3
When I turned around, he was
nowhere to be seen. A heavy sigh escaped as I eyed Lily’s truck about a hundred
feet ahead. I looked around one more time and then sprinted to the truck. Once
inside, I locked it and pulled my phone out of my pocket. My phone had been
turned off.
This is going to
take too long.
He would reach me before my phone
powered on. I powered it on anyway and put my hands back on the keys which were
still in the ignition. I tried again. The car didn’t make a sound.
Please turn on,
please turn on.
I gripped the keys so tightly
that the house key was digging into my palm. “Turn on!” The feeling of
electricity sparked in my hand, followed by a green light from my fingertips. I
quickly removed my hand and the car started up.
What the hell?
The shock of what had just
happened stunned me. I couldn’t move or think straight.
I sensed movement ahead coming
out of the forest and I looked up. He was standing there. His sleeves were now
pulled up to his elbows, revealing his muscular arms. My eyes narrowed down to
his wrist, revealing a red flame tattoo that reached from his wrist to his
elbow. My stomach churned and I felt like throwing up. It was him; it was the
man who had pulled me from my car after the accident.
