What inspired your story?
I got the idea of Riding Hard as I wrote the first in the Hell Ryders Series; however, I wrote two other books in the series before I decided to write Dodge’s story.
Did you always want to be a writer? If not what did you want to be?
I always wanted to be a writer, but as a kid, I figured I could teach and write. I’ve never taught though. In college, I studied journalism and went on to work at WTVJ, NBC Miami for a few years afterward.
How long did it take to get your first book published?
A year.
What genres do you normally write in?
Paranormal Romance and Erotic Romance.
What was the first book you ever published?
Demon King’s Desire, which is the first in the Elemental Sisters Series, is the first book I published. I went on to write the second, third, and fourth of that series: Burdened by Desire, Heavenly Desire, and Blooded Desire. The fourth hasn’t been published yet. I then wrote two others and published those, part of a spin-off to the Elemental Sisters Series, the Fated Immortals Series: Awaiting Fate and Fate Forgotten. In 2014, I began writing and publishing my erotic romance series, Hell Ryders MC: Running Wild, Running Hot, Riding Blind. The fourth, Riding Hard, is releasing August 19th, 2019.

Book Description:
Biker Dave "Dodge" Roth
has never cared about his bad luck with women. He has other things to worry
about—paying off debt his ex accumulated and most importantly, raising his
three-year-old son, Cullen. When a new neighbor moves in, his boy makes it
impossible to ignore her. Hard to miss, she's beautiful, smart, sexy, perfect.
After her last failed
relationship, kindergarten teacher Alexa "Lex" Millen has decided to
do without men. She's bought her first home in a small town in California and
remodeled it to her liking. Naturally, she's managed to move across the street
from the world's biggest jerk. His son's adorable, but he won't mind his own
business. If only her engines didn't rev every time he came around.
Excerpt
3
He pulled up to
her house, parked, and unbuckled his seat belt. “What’re you doing?”
He turned to
her. “Walking you to your door.”
She lifted a
brow. “You’re walking me to my door?”
“Yeah. A man
drops a woman off, he walks her to her
door, makes sure she gets in, and locks the door behind her.”
For some fucked
reason, he was rewarded then, the kind of rewards that proved God remembered
your name. To him, it happened a lot. Having Cullen was a reward every day.
She laughed,
loud, and he got to watch—her strawberry hair around her smiling face, sounding
flawless, looking gorgeous. A beautiful laugh, another thing perfect about her.
Even having no
idea what she found amusing, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You’re funny.”
He wanted to ask
what made her laugh.
He wanted to
tell her he liked he’d made her laugh.
He didn’t share
any of that.
Instead, he
climbed out of his SUV, walked her to her door, made sure she locked it, and
headed back to work.
