How long
have you been writing?
I’ve been writing since I was nine years old. I started out
with poems, moved to short stories, and then to novels.
Did you
always aspire to be an author?
Yeah, I always did. When I was in college I considered
getting a degree in English to realize that dream but I pictured being a
journalist and nothing about that appealed to me. I thought only ‘authors’ wrote
novels, so that dream stayed tucked away for quite a long time.
Who is
your favorite character in the Fire Born Novels trilogy?
Hmm… that’s hard. I love Max, and I adore Justice. They are
probably my favorites.
Are you
working on any new projects you'd like to share with us?
LM: TRUE will be the last book in the Fire Born trilogy,
although I am planning to write the prequel. I have a YA urban fantasy novel
coming out in the Fall titled, CRYSTALLUM. It’s the first book in the
Primordial Principles series.
Plotter or
Pantser?
Such a Pantser. So much. I have notes, and brainstorms, but
at heart I’m a true write-what-comes-at-me writer.
What books
are you currently reading, if any?
I’m reading Merrick by Anne Rice right now.
Twitter or
Facebook?
Um … probably Facebook. I’m on both, and neither gets a
whole lot of time, but Facebook gets more than Twitter.
Fantasy or
Paranormal?
Both. 100% both. They are my loves.
Any tips
you'd like to give aspiring writers hoping to be published one day?
I know everyone hears this, but write. Read. Write some
more. Read more. Writing really does have to be a passion. It’s hard work. You
have to want to do this. Really want it.
When
you're not writing, you are?
Running. Playing with my awesome lab and my persian kitten.
Being a mom. Reading a lot.
Tea or
Coffee?
TEA. Loves the tea.
Summer or
Winter?
Summer, summer, summer. I’m not a cold person.
Early bird
or Night Owl?
Mid-day? :) I used to be a night owl. I’ve never been a
morning person.
Favorite
time to write?
I write mid-morning after I run. It keeps the blood in my
brain and the stress levels down. When I’m on a deadline, though and
crunch-time is looming, I’ve been known to write at all hours and have written
for ten hours straight.

Synopsis:
Nothing in
Layla and Max’s world will ever be the same.
Since Max
left, and joined his father in the Shadow Realm, everything in Layla’s life has
changed. The Demon Gods threaten to destroy the Otherworld, and an
inconceivable darkness has awakened—a darkness that wants control of Layla’s
will. It also wants Max … dead. Not only must Layla face the true fire
simmering inside her, but fight the one she loves most.
And this time, with her friends and family left behind, she’s completely on her own.
Leaving Layla
nearly destroyed Max, but it was his only choice. Now, he must play the part—stay
in control of his end goal, his actions, and the poison coursing through his
veins, clouding his thoughts, and turning him into what he fears most, a Demon
God. But even with his Oghams fighting the toxins, his control is slipping.
Living in the Fomore castle with his Vampyre Fae ex-girlfriend isn’t making it
any easier to stay sane, and waiting to face off against Layla is taking its
toll.
In the final
installment of the Fire Born Novels trilogy, the legendary Battle will be
fought, and Layla and Max stand to lose everything. How far will they go to
save each other and protect the ones they love? Even they don’t know the
answer.
No one can win.
From the ashes
of old,
They shall rise.
The last of the Ancients,
Foe and Ally.
The Legend lies in wait,
And bides its time.
Until at last the day comes,
For the children born of fire.
They shall rise.
The last of the Ancients,
Foe and Ally.
The Legend lies in wait,
And bides its time.
Until at last the day comes,
For the children born of fire.
