What can you tell us about your new release, Dread Pirate Arcanist?
Dread Pirate Arcanist is the sequel to my award-winning fantasy novel, Knightmare Arcanist! It follows a teenager by the name of Volke Savan, and he lives in a world where people can bond to mythological creatures to gain magic. People who bond to phoenixes get fire and healing, whereas people who bond to leviathans get wind and storms—and the possibilities are endless!
In the sequel, Volke faces off against a dread pirate who has bonded to a manticore. Volke’s adopted sister, Illia, actually has a grudge with the pirate—he’s the man who killed her parents and cut out her right eye. It’s definitely a confrontation that builds throughout the adventure, and I hope readers look forward to seeing how it concludes.
What books are currently on your nightstand?
The Institute, by Stephen King. I really liked the sound of the premise, and I’ve enjoyed a fair number of his works, so I’m looking forward to reading it! The last book I read before that was Without Remorse, by Tom Clancy. It’s a great Punisher-style revenge tale for people who like thrillers.
What advice would you give your teenage self?
Don’t practice until you get it right—practice until you can’t get it wrong.
If you had an extra hour each day, how would you spend it?
Either writing or playing video games. Both are great loves, and each night I go to bed I lament the fact I couldn’t do more of both.
What makes your world go round? Why does it bring you joy?
I assume you mean me personally and not the world in my book, but I’ll answer both regardless!
I love reading and playing video games. I do both in equal amounts. When I was younger, I had a rough life, and I escaped to worlds in books, or ran with Mario up green pipes—to places where heroes always won and villains were just the right amount of menacing.
In my book, Dread Pirate Arcanist, the world centers on bonding with magical creatures. It makes me happy to think there would be a world where everyone can bond with their favorite magical creature. If you like unicorns, for example, you could be a unicorn arcanist! I’ve always loved books that allowed the reader to think “what if” and then just insert whatever they wanted into the scenario.
What scene in Dread Pirate Arcanist was your favorite to write?
The best scene to write was when the main hero confronts the dread pirate on his ship, the Third Abyss. The pirate is actually very powerful, and the resulting fight is rather shocking (if I do say so myself). Those scenes are the best to write. I love great tension.

What can you tell us about your new release, Fortune Croakies?
Fortune Croakies is book two in a humorous paranormal cozy mystery series that’s based on a magical artifact librarian who has a Fae sidekick and a magical cat and frog. The book is filled with adventure, fun, and surprises, with magical creatures, a surprising artifact or two, and a mystery to solve.
What books are currently on your nightstand?
I’ve recently discovered a new urban fantasy author whose work I’m really enjoying. Hailey Edwards’ The Beginner's Guide to Necromancy books are uniquely fun, with a magical house and a fascinating world. I also just finished Ann Charles’ Deadwood series, which was a ton of fun!
What advice would you give your teenage self?
If I’d known then what I know now, I’d have started writing sooner. As it was, I didn’t really get serious about writing books until I was in my 30s. Though, if I had written books in my teens or early twenties, I probably would have written much darker stuff than I write now! LOL
If you had an extra hour each day, how would you spend it?
Snuggling with my dogs. We rescue dogs and have 13 of the little (and not so little) darlings. #:0) They’re my family, my hobby and my entertainment now that my two daughters have their own homes.
What makes your world go round? Why does it bring you joy?
Spending time with family is something I treasure, both fur and human. #:0) I work hard, generally 7 days a week, and really don’t take time off for anything but family. Anything else I do that takes time away from my work leaves me resentful. Spending time with my family makes me feel rejuvenated.
What scene in Fortune Croakies was your favorite to write?
This would be the very first scene, the frog stuck in the sink drain scene. It still makes me giggle when I read it. To give you some idea of the fun, the chapter is entitled, Apple Trees and Frog Pee. #:0)

True to life, family is everything in my latest marriage mistake romance thriller Accidental Rebel.
The “accidentally married” trope never gets old. It's one of the most fun and popular out there, but I'm always after a unique twist. Something I've never done before after four previous marriage mistake standalone novels.
Enter single dad rebel hero, Miller Rush, and the adorably flailing thriller writer Gwendolyn. He's on the run to save his family with evidence of a harrowing black market operation at his old employer. She's just trying to break out from everyone's shadow – her mother, her boss, and her own (which she starts out very much afraid of).
It's all there with this couple. The heat, the laughter, the misunderstandings, the oh-so-wrong feels, and the highest stakes ever as they fight to protect each other along with Miller's adorable twins, Lauren and Shane. It's not just two hearts on the line, but four. Gwen winds up surprise hitched after answering a call meant for her boss, a shady lawyer orchestrating Miller's escape across the country. This headstrong alpha-dad needs a fake wife to stay undercover while he blows the whistle on some very bad people.
But while the chemistry flares hot and wild, at the beating heart of this book, there's really a tale of two families accidentally entangled and meant to be. Miller's kids are almost as much a part of the story as our star couple. Gwen's ultra-nosy celebrity mom also lends a helping hand to Miller, and discovers a new angle to her daughter.
Yes, there are bad guys. There's suspense galore. There are magnificent hit-you-in-the-feely-feel scenes and others you'll want to read with the lights turned low so no one can see you blush. No one ever accused me of skimping on the heat in my romance.
