Hi! Would you tell us a
little bit about yourself?
I am a coffee fueled writer with a number of fandoms
including anime. My cat and I share a
lovely and organized home in a small town. I also may have an online shopping
addiction, maybe.
What do you do when you are
not writing?
Watch anime and research different ways to make
coffee and tea.
Do you write an outline
before starting a book or just write?
I have an outlining process for each book but often
scenes or plot points happen that are not planned.
How do you market your
book(s)?
Mostly via word of mouth from my readers. Other than
that, I tend to use social media as my main avenue for marketing.
I know authors get asked
this a lot but do you have any advice that you would give to aspiring writers?
Learn about the business side of writing. Write what
you want to read, in other words, write your story for you and not anyone else.
Which came first for you,
the characters or the plot?
The characters always come first. I need to get to
know them so I know what kind of story will unfold.
Random Quickies!
Cats or dogs? Cats
Favorite book to movie? Willy Wonka
based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Favorite color? Teal
Do you own a laptop or
desktop computer? Both

Vivian Mercy has been running from the past for so long she doesn’t know any other way of life. When a panicked call comes from one of her only friends she finds herself returning to the city of her nightmares where her dedication as a doctor and resolve to help others is put to the test.
Etain Vi’Aerlin has been watching over Noctem Falls for centuries. Sent by his queen he became a silent sentinel in the shadows helping Magnus whenever he could. While the sickness around him claims more lives he discovers what it feels like to be helpless, as an ancient warrior he doesn’t have the skills to fight this unseen enemy.
At any other time finding a mate would be cause for celebration, but Etain wants Vivian as far from Noctem Falls as possible, unfortunately, as the only doctor with an intimate knowledge of diseases she has to stay in the city, and finds herself working tirelessly to discover a cure in the middle of the deadly chaos sweeping the levels.
As Vivian’s past is revealed she finds herself not only combating the terrible virus but also the rebellious faction of the Founding Families. Etain vows to stand by her, even if it means abandoning the post assigned by his queen.
It’s a race against time to unravel the lethal secrets the virus is hiding before the city itself is lost forever.
Excerpt:
“Do we want to know?” Dimitri asked.
Kendrick shook his head. “Honestly? Probably not, stay dumb and happy.”
Viktor gave Kendrick a dirty look. “Are you always like this or do you have something against vampires?”
Kendrick thought about it a moment. “No, I’m pretty much always like this, no offense,” he smiled at them brightly. The warriors scowled at his flippant response.
Godard eyed Kendrick. “Since you are a member of the Alpha Unit, maybe you should come train with us tomorrow. That is, if your soft archivist hands can stand getting a little dirty,” he teased.
Kendrick gave him an evil smile and rose to his full height. He stood nearly half a foot over them. “You will find that I am not as easy to manipulate as two certain innocent witches. I look forward to seeing you first thing in the morning.”
