Tell us about your latest book?
Atone is my latest ebook. It is the second novella in my NEO Chronicles: Characters Revealed series. The main character is Caine Fordham, an assassin with a special gift for “taking care” of his assignments, particularly the ladies. He promised his assistant that when he reached a certain goal, he'd retire, but he decides to take on one last case that changes everything.
What genre(s) do you write/want to write in?
I write in YA/NA and am working on an MG series as well. I prefer paranormal, fantasy/urban fantasy, you know, shifters, vampires, dragons and more 🙂
What do you like most about being an author?
I love using my imagination. I have voices that speak to me in my head and I get to be an author instead of committed to an institution. How cool is that?
What do you hate about being an author?
Knowing that as much as I want every single person in the world to love my stories, it's not going to happen. As a matter of fact, there will be those who will outright hate what I write. I just have to be ready for that.
What does Untethered Realms mean to you and why should folks follow UR?
Untethered Realms is such a cool diverse group of authors writing about things from outer space to scary thrillers. UR is worth the follow for the fun, the great books and getting to know great authors with more wonderful writing to come.
What do you enjoy doing when you're not writing?
Reading and spending baking time with my daughter.
What's the most fun you've had writing a scene or character and why?
Uh, well, I sort of had fun writing a transport scene for my MG story. The main character didn't exactly walk through a portal or hop from one realm to another. She had a more OZ experience.
If you could live as one of your characters, whom would you choose and why?
I'm not sure I'd want to be one of my characters. I put them in some tough situations lol!!
Tell us a secret, something few people know about you!
A secret? hehe! Well Not sure if it's a secret, but I used to have the biggest crush on Dante Basco back in his Rufio days (Anybody else remember Hook?) Well, that crush never really went away. He's still so cool!
What's your next book about? Go on, tease us!
You can find out if Abby and Basil discover new levels to their love when I release THEY ALL FALL DOWN, the sequel to Neverlove. Here's the beginning paragraph:
Basil crawled from the bed, loathed to leave the tangled blankets and warmth of Abby's arms. Awake, she was beauty incarnate as far as he was concerned. Asleep, she was an angel. Day or night, her presence soothed him with thoughts of tropical paradise, her essence saturated in the intoxicating fragrance of pineapples, oranges and berries. Many nights he drifted into slumber in that happy place. But more times than not, it just wasn’t enough.
