Hi everyone,  It's been a while, huh? I decided to revive the blog! I hope you love the new look, and I would love to hear from you on what type of content you'd enjoy (outside of book updates). Whether bonus content from my books, more about new characters, or even about writing in general, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message letting me know what you'd like to read about. :D I also have an upcoming release next week! Here is a little info about Avenoir - a YA paranormal novella.  Welcome to Havenwood Falls, a small town in the majestic mountains of Colorado. A town where legacies began centuries ago, bloodlines run deep, and dark secrets abound. A town where nobody is what you think, where truths pose as lies, and where myths blend with reality. A place where everyone has a story. Including the high schoolers. This is only but one… Heidi Bennett had the perfect life—including great parents and an insanely romantic boyfriend—until it all cam...

Sudden Hope, my first novel outside of the fantasy/paranormal world, is now available! Here is a little about Sudden Hope and what readers are saying about it. :)  Alec is a seventeen-year-old who has endured more in life than anyone should have to. Seeing his neighbor and ex-bestfriend, Skylar, struggle after a tragic loss, Alec makes it his mission to show her that life is worth living.  Little does he know that he will learn that same lesson. "Ok this review is hard to write. This book is beyond amazing. There are no words for how good this book is. There is so much to this story. So much heartache and sadness but also love and happiness. There is something in this story that all of us can relate to and something to touch all of our hearts. Daniele Lanzarotta I definitely think for your first contemporary romance you hit this one out of the park!"  - Crazy Chix Book Reviews  "I loved this book. It deals with teen bullying a...

(This is me, babbling about character withdrawals. lol I actually wrote this a few weeks ago, but didn't have a chance to share it until now.) Ending a book is never easy. I know authors who can’t wait to type,  ‘The End’ . I think that is the normal reaction… Right? *laughs* I’m not one of those authors. I can’t wait to share the story with my readers, but I also dread the moment when I type ‘The End’, because I don’t want to let go of certain characters. As readers, you get attached to characters while reading a book for a couple of hours or days. Now imagine having those characters become a part of your life for months or years....  It’s not easy. This is actually the number one reason why I love writing series versus standalone books. Yet, I find myself writing my first standalone book and I’m already dreading that character withdrawal from when the story is over. I mean, they aren’t even gone yet and I already miss them. And ' Sudden Hope'  (young adult ...

Through the window, I can see him put the blanket on the bed of the truck. He comes back around with the flashlight and leads me to the back, helping me up. I sit on the blanket and he hops up, lying down next to where I’m sitting. He sighs. “It’s funny that you asked me to bring you here.” “Why?” I ask, looking back at him. He is playing with the flashlight, now shinning it on my face and nearly blinding me. “Sorry,” he says as he puts the flashlight down on the back center of truck’s bed. “This is where I came when I ran away once.” “I’m not running away,” I say defensively. “I just needed to well—to get a way for a while.” “You can lie down,” he says. “I don’t bite.” I laugh at his comment. I lie down next to him and stare up at the stars; one of the few things that, centuries after centuries, remains unchanged. I feel his hand on mine and I close my eyes. “My first name is Sarah,” I say and I can feel a weigh...

As the story of Hunter and Kayla comes to an end in Forsaken, the final Academy of the Fallen novel, I find myself doing the same thing that readers often do... going through character withdrawals!  I already miss Hunter, Xavier, Ethan, and of course, my favorite stubborn character... Kayla. Forsaken was released on Kindle , Nook and Smashwords  a few days ago and paperbacks will be released on July 30th ( signed copies available for pre-order! ).  I'm loving the reviews that I got so far and I'm glad that readers are are enjoying the twists and getting closure as the series comes to the end.  As promised (and this wasn't easy)... no cliffhangers!  As much as I love cliffhangers, I would never end a series that way.  Of course, I can't promise anything with the other books. *evil grin* To celebrate the release of Forsaken, here is an awesome giveaway and thanks again to everyone who donated to the giveaway! I hope you enjoy the last book in the se...
