Hi LM Preston Would you tell
us a little bit about yourself?
I grew up in Washington , DC Maryland Virginia
Do you have anything you would like to say to your
readers?
Yeah, my character’s have
issues, and if you to have them, you have to remember that you own your
feelings, your destiny, your dreams, and you can do anything. Even when people,
circumstances are built up around you that say you can’t. How do I know that’s
true, well because I have overcome many obstacles and no one, nothing, can take
away my smile and the strength I’ve gained through the school of hard knocks.
So I hope you enjoy my characters, because each one of them hold a strength I
found in each and every young person I’ve known.
Can you tell us a little bit about your book Fierce
Tides?
Fierce Tides is the final book in my Purgatory Reign Series. It’s
an action packed, paranormal, romance with a splash of adventure, that takes
the reader through several cities, into secret hidden sanctuaries while on the
run with Peter Saints, our seventeen year old hero and his friends.
Which came first for you, the characters or the plot?
The characters always come
first for me. I build their profiles, find pictures of people that look like
them, and then their story hits me. I build the outline for the book only after
I’ve build the character profiles.
Can we expect more novels from you in 2011?
Insatiable Souls is a new release coming in November. EmVee is my main character
who moves to a new neighborhood and home with many secrets, but the biggest
secret is why her father moved them there.
Your life is a romantic comedy; what humors but very
embarrassing thing happens on your first date/when you meet the love of your
life?
I took my
‘aunt’ along to meet my now husband at the bus stop. My friend had set us up on
a blind date. My aunt and I were both the same age and she had explicate
directions to scope out the bus and decide if we should ditch him if guy was a
dud.
Now, the moment of truth – I laid eyes on him and was like, “WOWSA!” I literally had to gulp my heart back in my chest.
He looked at me and smiled (I believe he was thinking the same thing – but I was wrong.)
I stood there and grinned like a fool, then tripped forward as my cousin elbowed me. Oh…forgot she was still there. I whispered to her, “Beat it!” and she promptly left.
Then I looked back at him and he was frowning…yep, frowning. The first thing he said to me was, “Ummm, you don’t look like what I thought. Are you sure you’re 15? I mean…you are really small. How tall are you?”
Okay, yeah, I’m only about 5ft to his 6ft 2inches, but I was funsized!

What is your favorite part of writing?
The escape of becoming
another person, being in another place, and believing that I can control the
outcome, but most writers know that the characters seem to control the story.
Random Quickies!
When do you prefer to read?
I read mostly at night
before I go to bed, or in the car while my husband is driving.
Vampires or Werewolves? Vampires all
the way. I’ve been a vampire lover since I was twelve years old and trust me,
that was a long time ago.
Ebook or hardcover/paperback? Well, if you would’ve asked me this question about
five years ago I would be paperback all the way. But now, I have way more
ebooks than I do paperback and I’ve read mostly all of them that are on my
ereader or cellphone.
Favorite color? Green, and believe it or not, that’s been my favorite color for as
long as I can remember.
Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance, YA
