Tell us about your book(s) Bound to You is a story that starts and ends with a decision about love. The main character Toni is in love with two men but ultimately needs to choose one of the two. By the end of the book with hiccups along the way she makes a choice and essentially lives happily ever after... or did she LOL

Where did the idea of your (latest) book come from? Well, it’s part of the series and the series idea came from wanting to see the Greek gods in modern day and in a different light.

Who and what inspires you to write your books? The freedom to write all the ideas that come to mind is my inspiration.

Each author has their own fascinating journey. How did you begin writing? I have been writing since I was a pre-teen. I have always had a vivid imagination and my diary was my first book. It’s tales in there that I could never publish. LOL

What has been the most pleasant surprise about being a writer? How about the most unexpected downside? The fans. I absolutely adore my fans. They keep me going when I doubt myself. The downside is bad reviews. I get that not everyone will like my story but sometime the reviews cut deep.

Do you have any particular writing routines or rituals? Not really. I listen to music but nothing that I do as a routine.

Do you write in order? Nope. LOL I write the end sometimes the middle. I might start with the beginning or a scene that sticks out. I am a discombobulated writer.

What is on your playlist when you write? All of my British girls: Amy Winehouse, Adele, Lily Allen, Duffy, and Feist. On occasion I play opera music. It is so relaxing to hear.

Favorite writing snack? Candy. My dentist loves me because I eat so much of it.

Where do you like to write? Anywhere. I have a desk that I rarely use. But I can write at a coffee shop, my bed, the couch, on the floor and in the car. I try to carry my MacBook with me so I can write when inspired

Do you have any advice for authors wanting to publish? Edit until you are sick of the story and the character. Then find an editor that will tell you the truth. After that pay for a great cover. Books are judged my there cover and finally never stop writing. That is the only way to make it.

Are you currently working on anything else? Yes I am just wrapping up Defying Fate it's a book from my Fate Trilogy. It should be out soon. :)

Who is your favorite character and why? Dawn is my favorite girl. She has that southern sass and no nonsense attitude and she happens to be a very powerful witch! My favorite guy is Hades. The Greek god overcomes his bad rep and shows his charming side in Unbound and Bound to You.

Favorite book of all time? Yikes. Annie Rice's The Vampire Chronicles.

Breakfast says a lot about a person, what is your perfect breakfast? Anything that includes pancakes, bacon, and champagne.

Please tell us in one sentence why we should read your book. It's a story that is outside of anything that you've read with vampires, witches and Greek gods in a way that you've never seen.
