Can you please tell us about
your latest/upcoming book(s)?
My
latest book is called Asylum. It is
the story of Rachel who has an affinity for the dead and is able to walk
through time to find out the truth about what happened to them. In Asylum she is contracted to find out the
fate of another ghost hunter. Matt Rutledge, a sceptic and debunker of psychic
frauds is determined to prove she isn’t what she seems. Enter the asylum where
the past comes alive and Matt Rutledge is about to learn what it means to be
very, very afraid.
How did
you come with the idea for this story?
Ghost stories grab us
and keep us reading. Spooky houses and old asylums resonate with voices from
the past. What do you get when you take a woman who can reach out and touch
those abandoned souls and bring them peace or retribution? You get a series
with a kick butt heroine who isn’t afraid of the dark and who can tackle a
sceptic and bring him to his knees. How? Just by being who she is. It’s a
lesson we can all learn from in everyday life. Be ourselves and the rest will
follow—in life, love and romance. A kiss is still a kiss, and a sigh is well…a
breath of music.
Who is your ultimate
"book boy/girlfriend"? You know, that hottie you read about and drool
over.
I don’t usually think of
books that way-isn’t that funny. J
Who is
your Celebrity crush? And what would you do if you ever meet them?
I don’t
watch enough television to really know but I really would love to meet the cast
of American Horror Story. They are all such incredibly talented
If you
could collaborate with another author on a secret project, who would you pick
to work with and why?
I would
love to work with Maggie Stiefvater. She has such a great voice and her level
of snark is out of this world. Total fan girl here.

The voices of the past are alive behind the iron gates of
Bremore Asylum. Can Rachel and Matt deduce its secrets before it's too late?
When Rachel agrees to take the job investigating the
disappearance of a fellow ghost hunter at Bremore Asylum, she is totally
unprepared for the sexy and stubborn psychic debunker Matt Rutledge to be a
part of the package. Can these two opposing forces find the answers behind the
asylum's crumbling walls before they become the newest victims to the asylum's
grim history?
Excerpt:
Rachel narrowed her eyes. What little hold she held on her
frayed temper snapped. Self-doubt flared, but she stamped it out as quickly as
it came.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She stepped
forward, hands clenched into fists, her foot brushing against the luggage. Her
hoodie slid off the suitcase and flopped unceremoniously into the dirt.
"We haven't even started on the project and you're
trying to displace me already?"
Rutledge stepped back, surprise clear on his lightly parted
lips. Lips she apparently still wanted to kiss, damn his eyes. God, what was
wrong with her?
"My friend almost died because of a mistake I made. But
you're already aware of that, aren't you, Mr. High and Mighty? Listen to me and
listen good. I'm here because my grandmother needs me. I'm a damn fine ghost
hunter, which you would already know if you bothered to see beyond what
happened to Jeannie." She poked her finger into his chest and had the
satisfaction of seeing him wince.
Matt stepped back and held up his hands, a ruddy flush
creeping up his cheeks. "Okay. I was out of line. Truce?" He bent
down and carefully picked up her hoodie, handing it to her gingerly.
"Thank you, Mr. Rutledge." Rachel snatched the
hoodie from his hands and tied it around her waist with a firm yank. She didn't
want to chance it falling in the dirt again and it was going to be a long
weekend. At the rate they were going, it was going to be a full-on ice storm
between them.
A flash of humor crossed his face. "Do you think maybe
you could call me Matt?"
"That depends."
"On what?" Matt cocked his eyebrow with surprise.
"On whether you can stop dissecting me like one of your
frauds."
