3. When you look for books to read, what trope or type of story will always catch your attention?

Anything about witches or a villain or someone who has been wronged that needs to avenge what has happened. I do like fairytale retellings as well.

4. What do you write? Tell us about your current projects and the latest happenings!

I write dark fantasy fairytale series and there are so far 6 books in the series, Her Blackened Soul, Her Blackened Heart, Her Blackened Rose, Her Blackened Love, Kissing Darkness, Touched by Darkness. I am currently writing Touched by Darkness. Touched by Darkness is basically following on from Kissing Darkness (my last published book) and Isra has had her memories taken away so she doesn’t remember any of what went on, however she’s caught the attention of Astrid again as she’s falling for a mortal man.

Little does she know that there’s a much greater plan at stake here however I don’t want to say anymore as it’s part of the plot.

5. What is your most recent release? Give us a short presentation, cover, and a link for where to buy it!

The most recent release was Kissing Darkness however since it is a series, it makes more sense to mention the series. I doubt many would buy book 5 in series without knowing about the rest. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WN2T6BL

6. What real-life inspiration do you draw from, and what are your primary fictional sources of inspiration (books, authors, films, music, etc.)?

Name a few! I used to have a lot of books as a child, Grimms, Oz books, Sabrina Teenage Witch, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hans Christian Anderson. However I don’t really take inspiration from anyone but I do like Neil Gaiman for how dark and intense his work is.

7. What is your writing routine? If you have one, give us the run-down!

I don’t have one but I do seem to work well at night.
