Can you tell readers a little bit about
yourself and what inspired to write in this particular genre?
Sure, I'm at homeschooling mom of
three amazing children and creativity is where our learning has always
blossomed most. Paranormal is so much
fun, there really aren't any boundaries when it comes to this genre and I
suppose that is why I love it so. You
simply can open your mind and allow the creativity to flow through your
fingertips.
What inspired you to write this
book?
I knew by the third book in my
Nephilim Warrior Series (Blood Kiss) that Elise's character deserved her own
series. So I toyed with it for a bit suddenly The Elise Michaels Series was
born.
Is there a character that you
enjoyed writing more than any of the others?
I truly adore writing from Elise's
(From Coven) point of view. She's fun, energetic and has a take me as I am kind
of attitude toward life. Being able to
crawl inside the skin of different characters and be them for several hours
each day an amazing gift.
What is your favorite scene from the
book? Could you share a little bit of it, without spoilers of course?
The tower scene is hands down my
favorite, its full of passion, intensity and an incredibly hot sorcerer.
What is the most interesting thing
you have physically done for book related research purposes?
I would say that visiting and
spending time in cemeteries at night as research for the next book in this
series to be quite interesting. I also
realized that inside my own head is way more frightening than anything that I
may find while visiting one. LOL
Other than writing, what are some of
your interests, hobbies or passions in life?
There are so many things that I
enjoy doing when I have the time. Painting and photography are two of them,
traveling would be another. I'm also
content simply sitting on a beach with my toes in the sand while engrossed in
an amazing read with the sound of crashing waves in the background, ah pure
bliss.
What was the last amazing book you
read?
That would be the latest release in
the Charley Davidson Series by Darynda Jones, her style of writing in right up
my alley.
Where is your favorite place to
read? Do you have a cozy corner or special reading spot?
Right now being temperatures have
chilled off a bit, my favorite reading spot is in my living room curled up in
the recliner with a soft blanket enjoying the crackling sounds coming from a
roaring fire in the fireplace.
What can readers expect next from
you?
I'm working on the first book in my
new YA series Valkyrie Diaries. You can
find an unofficial blurb located on my website.

Book Description:
Elise Michaels' motto has always been: no guts, no glory. She is a thrill seeker, continually craving excitement and adventure. The idea of being tied down to a place or man never interested her, even though a betrothal spell was cast linking her and the Head of Council’s son when they were mere infants.
Being a distant third in succession to assume the Head Mistress role, she felt confidant that her secret would remain in her past along with Coven life.
Unfortunately, nothing in our fun loving heroine’s future is anything she or anyone from the supernatural realm is prepared for.
Now, she’s forced to return to the place and the Sorcerer she so desperately sought to forget.
Elise has no idea the power and gifts that await her. Can she let go of her own desires and embrace her new role? Or will she surrender to the faceless evil coming for them all?
Book one in the tantalizing Elise Michaels Series a spinoff of The Nephilim Warrior Series.
