The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Crave is book 4 in my funny, sexy, urban fantasy romance series. It’s about Nava, a foul-mouthed, romance-impaired, hot mess who’s spent her entire life being thrilled that her twin brother is being trained to take his place among the–until now–all male demon hunters.
But when she drunkenly interrupts his induction ceremony, everyone finds out that whoops! The secret society has been training the wrong twin. To make matters worse, the Brotherhood sticks her with a babysitter, an ex-rock star who wants her out of his hair as fast as possible to get back to his own mission.
Or to put it simply:
The mission: kill demons. The catch: infuriating hot guy. The challenge: don’t get the two confused.
If you are a parent do you find it hard to juggle writing and parenting? Any tips for time management or sneaking in writing time?
My family keeps insisting on things like food and clean clothes. They also have this weird expectation that if they speak to me while I’m writing that I should actually hear what they are saying and respond.
I’m trying to break them of those habits.
So basically my tip is ignore your family. I’ll let you know how that goes.
Have you ever based your book or characters on actual events or people from your own life?
My main character in this series, Nava, is essentially me with my edit button turned off.
Is there a theme or message in your work that you would like readers to connect to?
When I started writing The Unlikeable Demon Hunter, I was really frustrated with the double standard that I saw applied to even fictional females around sexuality and “likeability” and I wanted to explore that.
There is also a lot of Jewish history and mythology that comes into play (Brotherhood of David, go figure) and Nava was my way of dealing with misogyny I’d faced in my religion.
Basically, it’s sexytimes and kickass through a lens of gender politics wrapped in a lot of snark.
When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?
No guilty pleasures. I love to travel so that’s always been something I try to prioritize.
I’ve been lucky enough to ride gondolas in Venice, sleep under the stars in the Sahara and sit in a hot spring by a waterfall at an onsen in Japan.
I also tap dance, which is something my MC does.
Which book or series do you wish you had written?
That is a very tough question because there are so many. But if I have to limit it to one, I wish I had written Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series. It’s this rich, fascinating mythology, combined with a compelling character journey for the kickass MacKayla Lane, and featuring the hottest male character ever written IMHO: Jericho Barrons.
If this book is part of a series…what is the next book? Any details you can share?
Every book has revolved around one of the seven deadly sins. When Nava starts out, she embodies sloth.
Book 1 moves into desire, both in terms of sexual desire and our deepest darkest desires for our lives.
Book two played with envy, book three was greed, book four was gluttony and now book five will be pride.
And you know what they say about pride going before a fall...
What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled upcoming releases or works in progress?
I have to finish book 5 and then write book six which is the final book in the series. After that, I have this giant word file I’ve been dumping ideas for my new series into so I’ll take some time and see what sticks.
Thanks so much for having me today!

What doesn’t kill you... seriously messes with your love life.

Excerpt:
“I love home delivery.”
Malik lounged in his doorway, eyeing me the way the wolf must have with the
three little pigs. His British accent was pure sin.
“I love your
arrogance that you didn’t bother moving after I almost killed you.”
He laughed,
flashing straight white teeth against his bronze skin. He was still the only
being I’d ever met who could pull off a Caesar cut, and was still the stuff of
billionaire romance cover fantasies in his soft gray trousers that were
artfully tailored to the hard lines of his body and navy shirt, carelessly
folded back at the cuffs. “Oh, petal. I’d say I missed you, but I didn’t. Now,
unless you brought the more interesting twin?” He peered into the hallway.
“No?”
He shut the
door, but I stuffed my foot in to block it. Not like he politely stopped trying
to close it. “Ow.” I pushed my shoulder into the door to keep my poor bones
from breaking. “If you weren’t wondering why I was here, you wouldn’t have let
security buzz me up or let my toes cross the wards I’m sure you’ve got strung across
this door.”
“Ten seconds.”
“That’s not–”
“Five, four…”
“Demons are
being bound.” I rushed my words as he made a buzzing noise.
Malik yanked me
inside by my collar and slammed the door.
I wrenched free.
His penthouse
apartment hadn’t changed. Still to-die-for sweeping views of the city, a
massive glass wine storage unit in the open concept space, and a loft bedroom.
He pointed at one of the leather sofas, custom made to hug the curved walls.
“Sit and talk.”
