1)
Did you set any goals for 2013?
I don’t tend to set any official goals, because I did that last
year and didn’t write for nine months. BUT I wanted to have all three novellas
in The Water Lands series finished and hopefully published. Also I wanted to
have my YA book contracted somewhere. Fingers crossed I get half of it done at
least!
2)
What is the best part of the writing process for you?
Writing out whatever my mind imagines. Sometimes I’ll write so
much that when I have a break, hours have gone by without me realizing. I get
so wrapped up in it and forget about the world around me. I love it.
3)
The worst part?
Honestly, it’s the RSI that I have in my wrists and arms. I type
so much and so fast that when I go to my chiropractor every 1-2 weeks I leave
with bruises from massaging, adjustments and needling. But it’s a price I’m
willing to pay to do what I love J
4)
Tell me where you write?
I have a little writing nook in my house set up in the corner of
the gaming room. It’s in an open area so my dogs can sit nearby, I can see my
birds and get plenty of light. But the majority of my work is done outside. I
have a huge back yard and patio area where I can set up a lounger and write
until I get cold when the sun’s gone down.
5)
Name two romances you’ve read more than once
The entire Riley Jensen series by Keri Arthur and everything
written by Sara Brookes. They’re two that I just can’t get enough of. I’m sure
Sara will appreciate me saying that LoL
6)
Tell us about your first car
My first car was a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Commonwealth Games
edition… I still drive it to this day. It started off as bright yellow, now it
has about 8 different shades of yellow on it! All nice and canary though. I got
it brand new for my 17th birthday and haven’t had any problems with
it in 10 years of driving. I love my little beast.

BLURB:
Randor is a
Fae assassin. As the most feared military officer in the Faery Realm, he only
got out by striking a deal with the late King to become an assassin for hire.
Something he was only able to do because of his place as adopted family member.
When he’s ordered to kidnap the Unseelie Faery Princess and deliver her to the
Seelie Queen, he doesn’t think twice, until he sees his target. Adora. Unseelie
Princess. Most beautiful being in existence and feared witch warrior and his
soul mate. Disobeying orders is something he’s never done before. But when he
brings her into the Human Realm; his home, he has no regrets. Until his Elvish
friend, Kiel, disapproves and an unexpected attack raises questions about his
loyalties. The only way that could have happened was if Kiel tipped off the
Queen's witch, Maleficent.
Adora was fearless, powerful and intensely
unhappy. Until she was kidnapped by a mysterious stranger, who happens to be
her half human, half Seelie soul mate. After being attacked, Adora, fearing
she'd lose Randor, admits her feelings for her soul mate. The two of them just
need to find a way they can survive together - away from the feuding kingdoms.
Entering the Seelie castle, under a pretense of needing the witch's help to
bind Adora's immense power, they ask for Maleficent, whom they plan to
eliminate so she can no longer track them.
When all hell breaks loose, they're
involved in a fight including the witch, Kiel and the Queen. A fight that not
all of them will survive.
EXCERPT
“Lady Adora Belira, Princess of
the Seelie Court, daughter of King Polara, and future ruler of the Water
Lands.”
As the kingdom’s attendant
announced her arrival in the court, Adora rolled her eyes. Stating her entire
title each time she entered the room was so ridiculous and unnecessary. But
Father had always been a stickler for rules. He was one of the last remaining
old-school faeries, insisting his lands follow the ancient laws laid down by
the Originals.
Adora had never followed the
rules. Her mother was the enforcer of the family. Since she’d died, Adora had
used her father’s obliviousness to her advantage and rebelled against him and
the kingdom at every chance she got.
Father looked down at her
clothing with a frown. She preferred to wear combat gear, consisting of a
skin-tight top, pants, and versatile boots. The rest of the kingdom would
prefer she conform and dress in something more fitting for a princess, a
flowing gown that had no practical use whatsoever. She was a healer for the
army. She needed to be prepared for anything.
“I do wish you’d wear something
Kilip has prepared for you, even if only when dining in the court.” Father
spoke with a slight wheeze.
“And I do wish you’d see someone
about that cough you have,” she told him, sticking out her chin stubbornly.
“It’s getting worse, Father.”
Adora sat by his side at the head
of the royal dining table. Several heads turned and people gasped when she
spoke to the king
with a tone of disrespect. Once
again, she rolled her eyes. She’d been doing a lot of that lately.
“Mind your business,” Adora
snapped at the gawkers. All of them looked down and focused on their own
conversations.
