Can you tell readers a little bit about
yourself and what inspired to write in this particular genre?
I’m an avid
reader. I love books. I grew up reading books. It was a great escape from
whatever was happening in my life. And
sometimes I just loved how they shocked you. (I will forever be changed from
reading Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews.) But these past few years I’ve
been reading a lot of paranormal books, so I knew I wanted to write something
in that genre.
What is it about the paranormal, in
particular vampires, that fascinates you so much?
Vampires are
everything! In a way, they’re like superheroes. They can run fast, have super
strength, can convince you to do whatever they want, and live forever. Who
wouldn’t want those qualities?
What inspired you to write this
book?
I’m a big fan of anything
and everything vampire. And I’m a big fan of YA, so those two things kind of
intersected in this book.
Please tell us about your latest
release.
My Maker’s Keeper
is about an 18-year-old girl who gets turned into a vampire against her will.
She tries to starts fresh in a small town, but ends up falling for a local boy
who ignites her thirst for blood.
Is there a character that you
enjoyed writing more than any of the others?
Lucas was probably
my favorite to write. He’s this sexy and dangerous vampire with a chip on his
shoulder. He’s my fantasy man.
What is the most interesting thing
you have physically done for book related research purposes?
For a different
book of mine, one of my characters ends up in jail. So I went down to my local
precinct and asked if I could see what a jail cell looked like. They actually
showed me! It was pretty cool.
Do you write in different genres?
I do. I’ve written
a self-help book before called How to Move in with Your Boyfriend (and Not
Break Up with Him). And I’m currently working on an urban fantasy novel.
What are your guilty pleasures in
life?
TV. I love
television. Especially trashy TV shows and reality TV.
What was the last amazing book you
read?
A Court of Mist
and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
What can readers expect next from
you?
I’m working on an
urban fantasy novelette right now. It’s about this cynical and sarcastic woman
who doesn’t believe in the supernatural – only to discover she is supernatural
and has to team up with a hot guy to rid the world of monsters.

Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal Romance

Book Description:
Hannah Clark used to be an ordinary girl. She used to be a lot of things. Until she was bitten.
Five months ago, Hannah woke up in the middle of the woods as a vampire. She didn’t know how it happened or who turned her. She just knew she wasn’t safe in her hometown anymore.
Fort Wayne was supposed to be her fresh start. Her chance to finish high school without any other incidents. But then she met Jackson. Their attraction was instant and awakened something deep inside of her. Her thirst for blood.
Things only got worse when her maker, Lucas, came to town. He might have been sexy, but he was one dangerous vampire. And if Hannah wanted to keep Jackson safe, she had to protect him from Lucas’ ravenous ways. Even though she found herself excited by them.
But Lucas wasn’t there for her. Something sinister was happening in town. Vampires were going missing, and if Hannah didn’t want to be next, she had to work with Lucas to solve the mystery. But could she trust him? Or should she trust Jackson? She had to make a choice—and her life might just depend on it.
Excerpt 2
My eyes went to the clock. Ten
seconds left in the game. As the time ticked down, my shoulders tensed, sensing
something so familiar and so close. I stood up, scanning the crowd. When my
eyes met hers, I instantly recognized what she was.
A vampire.
A striking one. She had short,
bright pink hair, porcelain skin, and wore a tight jumpsuit under her leather
jacket. She didn’t look a day over eighteen, but her face told me she was a
vampire not to be messed with. Beside her sat another vampire wearing a similar
leather jacket. He was a few years older, with dark, luscious hair and inviting
lips. He looked like a fallen angel. The kind who would’ve fought for the other
side. He stared back at me stiffly. His dark brown eyes reminding me exactly
how I knew him.
He was my
maker.
Instantly,
a shot of pain hit me right in the chest. It was as if an invisible hand had
taken hold of my heart and was squeezing it tighter and tighter. I gasped,
clutching frantically at my shirt.
“Are you okay?” Emily asked.
I tried to speak, but my mind went
fuzzy. Only one thing seemed to slip through. My maker. I wanted him. I needed
to please him. It didn’t matter what he asked for, I would obey. And be
grateful for it.
The buzzer rang, snapping me back
to reality. That overwhelming need to please was replaced by shame and anger.
What was wrong with me? Why was I even thinking those things? My eyes flicked
back to where my maker had been sitting. He was gone. I ran out of the gym with
one thing on my mind. I had to find them.
The hallway was crowded with
people. I tried to push my way through, but there were too many of them. I
stopped suddenly, feeling the chill in the air. They were behind me. I whirled
around. Just a few feet away were my maker and the other vampire. They stood
unmoving as the crowd wove in between them. My maker stared at me with
absolutely no expression on that beautiful face of his. I didn’t know what
bothered me more. That he showed no remorse, or that I found him attractive.
