Far, far beyond. I never imagined I would pull from different
types of mythology, and introduce entire other races, like the Harpies, Fae and
Phoenix. Or that each race would come
with its own set of rules, strengthens and weakness. There are so many playgrounds for me to
explore LOL
Tell
us about your newest addition.
With pleasure!
Having
endured weeks of torture in the bowels of hell, Kane wants nothing to do with
his beautiful rescuer, Josephina Aisling. The half-Fae female threatens to
awaken the demon of Disaster inside him—a beast he’s determined to kill, no
matter the price.
Josephina
is hunted by a brutal enemy—her royal family—and Kane is her only source of
protection. He’s also the only male to ever set her aflame, and even he
succumbs to the heat. But as they navigate the treacherous world of the Fae, will
the love they are building be torn apart?
Do you
see yourself doing a spin-off or another series that includes characters
from this one? I love the
different races (and even William, whatever he is.) I would have so much fun creating a series for
each. But alas, time. I shake my fist at time! I’ve got to finish up the Lords before I
delve into another paranormal series.
What
are you cooking up for us in the future? Not counting The Darkest Craving, I’ve got two more releases this year!
Through the Zombie Glass (September 24th):
“Zombies stalk the night. Forget blood and brains.
These monsters hunger for human souls. Sadly, they've got mine...”
Alice Bell has lost so much. Family. Friends. A
home. She thought she had nothing else to give. She was wrong.
After a new zombie attack, strange things begin to
happen to her. Mirrors come to life, and the whispers of the dead assault her
ears. But the worst? A terrible darkness blooms inside her, urging her to do
very wicked things. She's never needed
her team of zombie slayers more, but ultra bad-boy Cole Holland, the leader and
her boyfriend, suddenly withdraws from her... from everyone. Now, with her best
friend Kat at her side, Ali must kill the zombies, uncover Cole's secret and
learn to fight the darkness.
But the clock is
ticking...and if she fails at a single task, they're all doomed.
Then, it’s the second Otherworld
Assassins novel, Black and Blue (Oct,
22nd)!
HE IS EVERY
WOMAN’S FANTASY. .
.
.
Corbin Blue is a man of
many talents. One of the most powerful otherworlders ever born, he is wealthy,
a professional football star, and a legend in the bedroom. But only a select
few know he is also a black ops agent...and there is no better killer. When he
and his crew are attacked and separated, he’s forced to turn to his boss’s daughter
for help―a woman with even more secrets than Blue.
…SHE BECOMES
HIS ONLY OBSESSION
Evangaline Black has
always been wary, guarded. No man has ever breeched her walls. Until Blue. He
has never been denied something he wants, and now, he’s decided he wants her.
As he sweeps her into his double life of seduction, intrigue, and danger, he
helps her see beyond the darkness of her past. But as an enemy closes in, Blue
will have to let Evie go to keep her safe—even though he'd rather die than live
without her…
Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to reading more of your work!
Thank you so much for having me
over!
