1. What is your purpose as a writer?
A: write to entertain and inspire readers of fantasy books. As a former avid reader and book nerd, I write the stories I want to read. The only thing missing from the hundreds of books I would read as a young adult was people that looked like me in the leading role. So here I am as an adult writing about women of color in new paranormal worlds going on adventures and experiencing romance.
2. If you could be any animal, what would it be and why?
A: A cat. I’ve owned pet cats while growing up and I’m fond of their independence and sometimes royal mannerisms.
3. What was your mindset during writing your featured piece? What message or takeaway points do you want your readers to grasp?
A: Hiss, Rattle and Bite (HRB) is a vampire urban fantasy novelette. It's a standalone short story about a vampire servant with a satisfying ending. Themes about grief, redemption, and aspirations are woven into a fun, dark fantasy tale. I wrote it to help fantasy readers feel transported to a new paranormal world and indulge in some escapism during the altered 2020 holiday season.
4. When you are not writing, what are you most likely to be found doing?
A: I spend my days raising my two little ones as so I am most often found sitting on the floor playing pretend, reading and offering cuddles. I also enjoy being outdoorsy and appreciate that New Hampshire has an abundance of natural beauty and parks to explore.
5. Where can your book be purchased/ Where can your published works be viewed? How can readers connect with you?
A: Now that you know my name, you will find me everywhere authors and bookish people hang out!

1. What is your purpose as a writer?
A: To speak on important topics while giving readers a heartfelt, loving romance novel that is real.
2. If you could be any animal, what would it be and why?
A: I would be a white tiger because they are unique in this world. They stand out even amongst their own species. I can relate to that 100%.
3. What was your mindset while writing your book? What message or takeaway points do you want your readers to grasp?
A: My mindset while writing The City of Mon Bay Series Books 1 & 2 was to give a normal paranormal romance tale, a bit of a reality check. Most paranormal romances are extremely close to fantasy and most aren't realistic, or relatable. I wanted to change it up a bit, and give readers something that was paranormal, but in different ways. There are some social issues that are touched on in this series book. I hope most people get them.
4. When you are not writing, what are you most likely to be found doing?
A: Spending time with my daughter/husband or working my hand painted/custom home decor business :)
5. Where can your book be purchased/ Where can your published works be viewed? How can readers connect with you?
A: Readers can purchase any of my novel ebooks and/or paperbacks on Amazon. Paperback copies can be purchased on Etsy at a discounted rate.
