Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming release.
SURRENDER is a tragic love story between a girl who could cause the apocalypse, a boy destined to follow death and a villain that’s hunting the girl’s kind because he wants really awesome weapons so he can take over the lands.
Are you a mom (or parent)?
I am!
If yes do you find it hard to juggle writing and parenting?
I used to, when my kids were younger, but now I find them incredibly helpful. They’re in the golden kid ages, 5 and 8. I’m lucky because when I need to write, they can clean the house.
Have you ever based your book or characters on actual events or people from your own life?
Yes . . . but I don’t think anyone will be able to guess what came from real life and what I made up.
What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?
I can sing. I don’t talk about it a lot, but I used to be part of a vocal jazz group in high school and I have some serious pipes.
When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?
Karaoke is my guilty pleasure. In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have, but the karaoke room was slow at Valleycon and Gene (the guy hosting the room) played my playlist from the previous night, and so I just basically took over and sang like eight songs in a row. That was probably milking it a bit . . . but it was fun!
Is there a genre(s) that you’d like to write that you haven’t tackled yet?
Contemporary. I’d love to come up with a very very normal story like Katie McGarry’s Pushing the Limits. I’d like to write something awesome and normal for a change.
Of all the characters you’ve ever written, who is your favorite and why?
Such a loaded question . . . I’d have to say Kaliel. She’s multifaceted, but she’s such a misfit. I enjoy following her through her many follies and few triumphs.
If this book is part of a series…what is the next book? Any details you can share?
This is book one of a planned six book series, with three novellas, and who knows what else I’ll come up with. JUSTICE is coming out in May, 2013. I don’t know if my spoilers will make any sense, but readers should prepare for a boy pining over a girl, and an anti hero.
