What can you tell us about your new release, Flirting with the Fashionista?
Really the biggest thing I could say is that representation matters in all aspects of art, whether it's movies, models, or books. That’s why I was so excited to write a love story for a plus-sized woman like me. In Flirting with the Fashionista, plus-sized fashion designer, Ruby Ross, is wooed by fitness spokesmodel and heir to an empire, Brandon Price. In the end, it’s Brandon who must prove he is worthy of her. Also there’s a super cute Corgi sidekick!
Which book from your childhood or teenage years has stuck with you as an adult?
Some of my favorites that have endured the years are A Prayer for Owen Meany, Jane Eyre, the Harry Potter series, and—of course—Harold and the Purple Crayon.
Who is your favorite couple from literature?
Well, I guess my favorite would have to be Edward and Bella from Twilight. Just kidding!
I love Jane and Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre. Opposites attract is definitely my favorite romance trope, which is why I often choose to write them myself.
What's on your writing desk and What's your spirit animal?
I'm going to answer these two together, because my spirit animal is also usually on my writing desk. I keep two pet beds on my table where my two chihuahuas sit with me as I work. My spirit animal—much to my husband's dismay—is my little tricolor chihuahua that my five-year-old daughter named Sky Princess.
What scene in Flirting with the Fashionista was your favorite to write?
This book had a lot of big grand romantic gestures. I think I may have broken some kind of record, seriously! One of my favorites, though, is when Brandon arranges a long-distance dinner date for the two of them. He also makes sure to send a specially prepared meal for Ruby’s corgi, and everyone knows the way to a girl’s heart is through her fur baby!

What can you tell us about your new release, Foundra?
Foundra is a sci-fi coming of age story following a young genius named Neven. Neven has a perfect life before he meets up with the immortal Lanrete. Overnight, he goes from a comfortable life in the lab to fighting to save the galaxy from annihilation by extra-dimensional beings. He’s forced to become a Secnic, or combat engineer, where he operates massive power armors on the front lines alongside an elite team of heroes from across the galaxy. Neven learns to kill and discovers that he’s remarkably good at it, but that reality weighs on him even as the galaxy is crumbling to pieces around him.
What books are currently on your night stand?
I’m currently reading through “Fall” by Neal Stephenson. I recently finished “The Mistborn Trilogy” and am patiently awaiting the final book of “The Expanse” series.
What advice would you give your teenage self?
Don’t let fear guide your decisions. Read up on the work of Carol Dweck and pick up the books “Mindset” and “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” as soon as they become available.
If you had an extra hour each day, how would you spend it?
I’d spend more time working on my novels. My wife and I have an infant son who takes up a good chunk of my time nowadays. My writing time has been cut moderately which has delayed some of my novel plans.
What makes your world go round? Why does it bring you joy?
My family and my faith. The relationships and community are a core part of who I am and have made me a better person and a better writer.
What scene in Foundra was your favorite to write?
There is an epic space battle that takes place later in the novel where Lanrete’s military forces are up against seemingly impossible odds to protect this planet filled with civilians. It’s this very tense moment where the characters realize they won’t be able to save everyone, but they go in with high hopes that they can turn the tide of the battle. It was a very emotional section for me to write and I think it may hit a few readers in the same way.

By Willow Winters
A Kiss to Keep is one of my favorites that I've written because it's set in this very intense world, with known dangers that are a given in the mafia setting, yet the conflict is so very relatable.
The Merciless world has been developed over ten novels now, so I know it well, and I love every fine detail just as much as I love all of the characters within this world. There are constant moving pieces and development for other heroes' stories within the timeline which makes it more difficult to write and even to conceive, but also more enticing. I love the challenges and the depth that writing in this world brings.
The conflict between Sebastian and Chloe is one as old as time. They love each other, but the environment and the circumstances puts them at odds. I love the push and pull and... if I'm being honest, all the little sexy bits. I hope you fall in love with their story, this world, and become as obsessed as I am.
