What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Cursebound Thief?
I was drawn into the heist genre by Heist Society by Ally Carter, and my love was cemented by Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows duology. The unlikely friendships, the magic, the deception, the time jumps... so well executed and so entertaining. I wanted to bring that sense of wonderment into more contemporary settings―Vegas to Florida to New England―with immediately relatable characters.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Cursebound Thief, what would they be?
Jerek - Carry On by fun. Ari - If You Seek Amy by Brittany Spears. Lincoln - "...who has time to listen to music?" Jack - I Am What I Am from La Cage Aux Folles. Grace - Set Fire to the Rain by Adele. Eve - Titanium by David Guetta feat. Sia.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I'm a genre-agnostic reader, VERY much like my writing. Though I do have a soft spot for YA, especially fantasy.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I'm currently reading Jennifer L. Armentrout's Storm and Fury. After that, I'm... yeah. It's too long to list. But I did recently finish Rule of Wolves (I'm a BIG Bardugo fan).
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
Remember when I mentioned the "time jumps" in heist books? Yeah. There are a couple of scenes in The Cursebound Thief where I got to use those. The first happens in the Council of the Feu, the magical headquarters in D.C. Getting to write the scene from four of the six perspectives with time overlaps was such a fun challenge!
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
No one is alone. No one part of a team is more or less important than another. We all have our part to play. And we all fit in... somewhere. Find your crew. And embrace your found family. As the saying goes: friendship is thicker than blood.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Silver Hunter?
Career women aspiring to form families were the inspiration behind the story.
As for the reverse age gap, Madonna. She did an interview with Ellen who asked her about the age of her youngest partner in the last five years. Madonna replied, 22. While the age gap between Hunter and Grace is not as wide, their 16-year difference is definitely significant enough.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Silver Hunter, what would they be?
Whenever I write about a book with an exotic scene (this time it was Costa Rica), I obsess with Africa, by Toto.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I read across most romance genres but my favourite books always have suspense. I write in three genres to help clean my palate (romantic suspense, romantic comedy, and reverse harem).
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Last read: Verity by Colleen Hoover. Current read: Broken Bonds by J Bree, next read: Love You Again by Julian Kent.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
Costa Rica! Hunter sweeps Grace off her feet to Costa Rica to keep her safe from a predator back in New York. I loved putting Grace out of her element and showing Hunter's Tarzan skills 😉 Plus, it doesn't get better than getting it on underneath a waterfall, does it? (*coughs* not talking from experience)
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
My office space is a Central Park themed Friends zone and sets the perfect writing atmosphere. I keep a little troll keychain with spiky blue hair I've had since high school (It's been a while) for good luck. On the wall above my laptop, I have a page filled with affirmations I received from a reader which I read through every morning. Here's one: "I have the power to change my world and my perception of it by the words that I use."
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
I do. I don't remember who told me this, but at a difficult point in my life someone said to me, "Even this shall pass." The saying is that it can be used in many ways: when you're faced with an illness, a challenging task which seems impossible to complete, or even a tragedy. Even though we're often left with scars on our hearts, time heals.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Families come in all "shapes and sizes". Love heals and time heals, and the bad guys get exactly what they deserve.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Season for Spies?
Years ago, a scene for a book popped into my head and I could not get it out. The scene did not actually end up in A Season for Spies, it's in Spy Season, the free prequel, but it's the basis of Anthony and Evie's relationship.
One night in France, she saved his life by having sex with him. I won't spoil it by telling you how that saved his life, but I promise, it did! And then she disappears into the night and he has to hunt her down. Of course, since they met in a brothel, he has no idea that she's his commander's niece!
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of A Season for Spies, what would they be?
Evie: I'm Just A Girl by No Doubt and for Anthony I Walk the Line by Johnny Cash
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I'm such a mood reader, I'm not sure I can say I have a favorite genre! I started off as a heavy sci-fi / Fantasy reader, which eventually led me to romance. Now I do read a lot of romance, but I also read a lot of Urban Fantasy and Cozy Mystery! Within Romance I read so many different subgenres it's impossible to choose just one.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
You want a list of all 600? LOL. Sarah MacClean's Heartbreaker is at the top at the moment.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
Oh man. This is a hard one. I loved a lot of scenes in this book. It's a toss up between when the characters realize they're in love, and when Anthony goes toe to toe with Evie's family to make sure she gets to make her own decisions.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I need quiet. I can't do music or anything like that, which I know a lot of people find odd. I can do like, a low hum of noise if I'm out in public or someone is doing yardwork outside, but definitely no music.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Remember to be kind.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
The way it made them feel, which is hopefully happy and energized! I'm less concerned with them remembering specific moments or scenes, and more about them remembering the experience of what they felt as they were reading.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Perilous Obsession?
My novels are based on my prior professional life as an academic scientist, which spanned some 40 years doing cancer researcher and teaching at Harvard Medical School and Boston University, as well as serving in administrative positions as department chair and dean. As a result, I’ve dealt with a lot of the inner workings of academic politics and universities, and that’s provided a host of material to write about.
Contrary to what many people think, the lives of scientists are not calm and rational, but are often filled with conflict and drama. Rather than fitting the common expectation of being dispassionate observers and seekers of the truth, the reality is that academic scientists are under highly competitive pressures, are sometimes extremely ambitious, and are always just as human as people in any other professions--with all the flaws that implies.
I’ve seen lots more cases of misconduct over the years than anyone would want to deal with, and those have become the starting points for my novels. Which then depart from real life to become murder mysteries. Or at least I think the lethal turns in my books are departures from real life!
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Thrillers, especially medical thrillers, are my favorites. And yes, that's the same genre that I write.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
The first is Robert Parker's Fallout by Mike Lucia. Second is Lisa Gardner's The Next Accident. And then, Freida McFadden's Never Lie. All among my favorite authors!
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
That's a tough one. But I think my favorite is a scene in chapter 37, where Brad finally figures out what's going on.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Not really. As long as my dog's in the room with me, I'm happy.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
I try to remember my grandmother’s favorite slogan. “You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.”
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That scientists and physicians are just as human and flawed as people in any other profession.
