What can you tell us about your new release, A Grimoire for Gamblers? This is the story of a plain, non-magical human getting tossed into the hidden supernatural world head-first. She’s not supposed to know anything about magic, and isn’t allowed to do any spells. She doesn’t let that stop her. It’s a little bit dark, but a whole lot of fun. I enjoy that Elizabeth is a purposeful character who makes her own choices to stand up for humanity in a world where humans are (unknowingly) little more than cannon fodder and bargaining chips. There’s a power in refusing your designated role in the system—finding spaces between the lines and discovering what those spaces allow you to do that others can’t. This book begins Elizabeth’s journey of finding and harnessing that power. What or who inspired you to become an author? I can’t remember a time before I wrote stories—it’s always just been something I’ve done. Over the years I’ve written a few novel-length things, but it never added up to something that I believed in enough to want to publish. I even ghostwrote Romance novels for a while. When I found Urban Fantasy, I realized quickly that this was the genre for me, and that I needed to build my own sandbox to play in so I didn’t get so sad when I ran out of books in a series I was reading. What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read? I find “best” such an unhelpful word when discussing books. There are many that I read years ago that I loved and found incredibly impactful at the time, but that doesn’t mean I’d recommend them now. Picking five and calling them the best is impossible. Instead, here are some recent reads that I’ve enjoyed: 1. The Winter Long by Seanan McGuire Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask? Terry Pratchett. I think I’d ask him if there were anything he wanted to share about either his career or life with the benefit of hindsight, looking back at them both. I’d be much more interested in finding out what he thought was worth discussing as he looked back over his life than any specific question I might ask him. What's your favorite thing about writing? I love the way a story fills out while writing as if my magic. I outline extensively, but there are some details and themes that only link up and clarify when you’re elbows-deep in the process of getting the words on paper. I also love when I’m in the middle of writing a book and find myself coming up with scraps of dialogue when I’m away from the computer, doing other things. It’s great to feel like my mind is occupied building characters even when I’m not thinking about it consciously. What is a typical day like for you? Writing, working, making excuses for why I can’t take my dog for a walk right now and inevitably giving in and taking her anyway. What scene from A Grimoire for Gamblers was your favorite to write? There’s a scene toward the very end of the book where Elizabeth discovers that some of the assumptions she made about another character were incorrect. The character in question becomes a series regular, and is one of my favorites, so I enjoyed letting Elizabeth and the reader find out a little more about him at the same time. Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by? When you’re deciding what to do, pick the option that will make the most interesting story later.

What can you tell us about your new release, Light Of Embre? Light of Embre is a fantastical start to an intense paranormal romance trilogy. There’s magic, royal rivalries, kidnappings, and of course, lots of sex. Sex is actually how people hone their magic powers! And when our heroine, Princess Sarel, starts to exhibit these powers, she’s torn between two possible mates. One has been chosen for her and one is way beneath her royal status. And none may survive their captors. What or who inspired you to become an author? I grew up reading my mom’s old Judy Blume and Nancy Drew books. I was always drawn to the strong emotions in Judy Blume and the intrigue of Nancy Drew. I knew very early on that this was what I wanted to do. What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read? I’m in love with A Court of Thorns and Roses. I’ve read the series twice now. I think it has everything a paranormal romance should have. Another favorite is Caraval. It’s shorter than most fantasies, but her writing is almost lyrical. Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask? My first guest would absolutely be Sarah J Maas. I think I’d ask her about her degree and how much it’s helped her. I’ve always wondered how amazing it would be to go to school for writing. Of course, while I have her, I’ll try to get a good teaser for her next book. What's your favorite thing about writing? I love getting lost in a scene. I dive head first into my work and feel like I’m there, living through whatever my characters are living through. Sometimes that’s scary, but considering what I write… it’s usually quite fun. What is a typical day like for you? I know people say this is bad, but the first thing I do is check my Facebook Reader Group. I’ve forged some great friendships with some of my readers and I love to start my day with them. I have this thing where I write a scene in one sitting. I don’t let myself up until the scene is done. And I’ll at least write the first sentence of the next scene and any notes. Then I’ll get up and walk around. I like to do writing sprints with some of my online writing friends. My favorite site is MyWritingClub. I thrive in competition and some of those writers can put up some impressive numbers. I can’t let them beat me! Then, at the end of the day, I paste all my work into Scrivener. I’ve tried so many writing platforms and I still come back to Scrivener. I feel at home, there. What scene from Light Of Embre was your favorite to write? Well… I’m sure you can guess which type of scene is my favorite. But for this series, my favorite parts have been the different magic systems. It’s been a lot of fun to build complete magic systems, which I learned from watching the Brandon Sanderson classes on YouTube. I think taking his classes has helped me round out my worlds more. The romance is still the core, but it has a strong backbone. Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by? My favorite thing to tell myself is, “Some like it hotter.” Whenever I’m writing and I think it might be time to fade to black, I remember this mantra. When I first started writing romance, I was worried I’d go too far. But after getting to know my own readers and other fans of the genre, I know nothing in my pretty little head will be too scandalous for most of them. And there’s comfort in that. I’ve found my people.
Then it’s time for coffee! Sometimes I walk a bit, especially if I’m about to write an emotional or difficult scene. But usually, I get right to work. I’m at my desk by 7:30. I’ll still get some walking in during the day, between scenes.
