Would you like to start off by telling us a little bit about
yourself?
I’m a
wife and mother of three little rugrats. I have a degree in sociology, and am
currently in my last year of law school. Additionally, I cyber stalk Jason
Momoa.
During your writing career have you done anything
embarrassing in the pursuit in getting published?
I have
not, which is surprising because I’ve been told by many that I am a pretty
embarrassing person.
What is one thing about you that your readers would find
surprising or never guess about you?
I’m a hard
core Harry Potter fan. I believe Harry Potter and I have a spiritual link
because the movie and books usually came out on my birthday. I’ve also written
several rap songs about Harry Potter to the complete embarrassment of my eleven
year old step-son. Additionally, when I go to the HP movies, I actually draw a
scar on my forehead. My husband usually walks a few feet behind me when I do
that.
Can you tell us about your current work in progress, perhaps
you could share a favorite fact or piece of fascinating information it?
I am
currently writing the sequel to Fire
Baptized titled The Burning Bush.
My favorite piece about the sequel is that I push my imagination over the edge
far deeper than in the first book, which is scary. In Fire Baptized, there is a lot of tension and bubbling conflict
among species. In The Burning Bush,
the boiling hot conflict spills over into something many readers will be
shocked to see.
If you were to write yourself into one of your books or series
which would it be, what role would you pick and why?
I would
write myself into Fire Baptized. I would love to be a member of The Rebels. The
group is a bunch of shapeshifters that hate humans’ oppression of
supernaturals. The Rebels have shown this hate by rejecting anything that is
considered “normal” by human standards.
They speak in a dialect called Lib
Lib. They walk around in partial-shifted form. Fur covers their faces. Animal
ears poke out from their hairstyles. They always were bright colors since
humans tend to only wear black and white in my world.
What have you read and loved recently?
I’ve
been raving about two books lately: Daughters of Smoke and Bones by Laini
Taylor and The Electric Church by Jeff Somers.
How do you spend your down time between edits, deadlines,
writing and creating new and fascinating books? Do have a favorite pastime or
hobby to fill you spare time with?
I’m
married to a great husband and I have three kids so my downtime is spent with
them. However, this is sad to say but even during my downtime I’m thinking of
new book ideas or taking something from the experience to add in my book. I
really need to truly work on relaxing. It’s one of my resolutions for 2012.
How did you celebrate the publishing of your first book?
My
husband and I went out, ate lots of yummy sushi, and drunk too much sake. It
was a great time!
I love author stalking. Do you have any 2012 convention
plans? Where can fans stalk you?
I will
be starting a Blog Tour from Feb 20, 2012 to March 16. On the tour I will be giving
away Amazon gift cards to commenters on each site. I also will be discussing
love triangles in urban fantasy, world building techniques, and revealing
interesting extra information about Fire Baptized's
world.
This is the link for each blog I’ll be visiting:
What has been your favorite scene to write and why?
My
favorite scenes are between Lenore and MeShack. They grew up together in the
same household and survived really rough childhoods by uniting with each other.
There is this strong love between them as well as a playful sensuality. I also
just have a major crush on MeShack so anytime he’s in a scene, it’s a good time.

Thanks so much to The Jeep Diva, lol, for supporting and promoting this book. Thanks so much for all of you entering the contest.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
The book has been doing really well. I woke up this morning and it made #2 on Amazon's bestseller Gothic romance list. I didn't think it is completly a gothic romance.... but I can see why people have tagged it as such.
thanks everybody!
Would love to have a copy of your first in a series. It sounds great and it leaves me wanting to read the second book as well. Thank you.
