I write paranormal and contemporary fantasy novels.

Are you traditional, hybrid, or indie published? Why did you go this route?

I’m an independently published author because I’m a fast writer and was not interested in the slower pace of traditional publishing.

What does success mean for you?

Success means I can cover my monthly bills each month with the money from my royalties.

Nope, because I’m 100% indie.

I write Mondays through Thursdays from 8am to 11:30am. The rest of the workday is spent doing admin and promo.

Who first introduced you to the love of writing?

My father is a singer and songwriter and taught me the storytelling within musical composition.

I’d love to have dinner with Sarah MacLean. She is the smartest author in romance academia and I would love to pick her brain on the history of romance novels.

What encouraging words do you have with struggling or first-time authors?

Team Edward or team Jacob from Twilight and why?
