What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Wolf of Ashes?

When I was completing my last series, Supernatural Legacy, the main character in the series was captured in a supernatural prison, and I wondered: What if there were another prisoner who didn’t deserve to be there? What would her story be? The idea for Dark Magic Shifters grew from there.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Wolf of Ashes, what would they be?

The main female character’s theme song would be “My Heart Has Teeth” by deadmau5, and the Keeper of Dark Magic’s theme song would be “Enter Sandman” by Metallica 😉

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I love reading high fantasy romance. I love writing it too! But I’m equally in love with paranormal and urban fantasy romance and all the fast-paced action that comes with it.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Fractured Mates by Heather Renee, Gilded Wings by Jaymin Eve, House of Ash and Shadow by Leia Stone, and Rise of an Empire by Jessica Wayne.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

My favorite scene in the story is when the two main characters travel (magically) to Australia and experience a beautiful Australian beach, a wild thunderstorm, and some Aussie slang. I’m Australian so it was a rare treat to include a little of my home country in this book.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

My cat insists on sitting on my lap when I write. If my lap isn’t available, she sits on the keyboard!

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

My favourite motto is: You can do this. It comes in handy when I’m second-guessing my writing, if I’m having a day where I can’t seem to make the words work, if I’m uncertain or have to change a plot point, or if I’m halfway through edits and it feels like they’ll never be done. Needless to say, it comes in handy a lot!

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

Darkness is never complete. There’s always light.
