Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

I've been writing since 2008. I live in Raytown Missouri, with my husband and 2 step-children, as well as a small collection of large dogs.

When and why did you start writing books?

I read a ton of books, but there was always a story inside my head that just kept clamoring to get out. Once I started writing, it just poured out onto the pages, and I couldn't help but continue.

What made you decide to tackle writing as a career?

I wanted to share my stories with others.

Which one of your books or characters is your favourite?

Raven. Raven was always my favorite, even though I tortured the crap out of him.

Which one of your books was the hardest to write and stretched you the most as a writer?

Predatory Angel. It was the first book that I wrote. It took me years to write and edit it. Then the publisher I used butchered it. It was so bad that I refused to rerelease it. It's the one book that will probably never be released again.

Who is your favourite author and book?

Anne Rice. Anne Rice was the author that started my writing career. The moment I picked up Memnock the Devil, I was unable to put it down.

What book are you reading right now?

The Darkest Secret by Gena Showalter

Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

Mostly, they float around in my head. Everything that I write plays out inside my mind like a movie. I just translate what I see into written words.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Spare time? I'm not sure that I know what that is. I have a full time job, a husband and two kids, four large dogs, and I write books. I'm not sure I have much time left.

Do you have any new books in the works?

I am currently writing Lucien. It will be the second book in the Kindred Series. I already have the next 9 books for the series lined out. I just have to find the time to put it into words.
