Can you tell us a little about
yourself?
The best
word for me is probably multigeek. I was raised on Starwars, The Dark Crystal,
Labyrinth and Ladyhawke, so it wasn’t really any surprise that I became a
fantasy artist and author. I’m always cooking up something, whether that’s a
story, a painting, doing graphic design work, or planning an event. I once
built a life-size Jabba the Hutt to decorate a party. One of these days I’d
like to host a Faerie masquerade in Chicago.
What is your book(s) about?
Werewolves
in the Kitchen is about Ellie, a young woman who moves to a retreat center.
She’s trying to get clarity on her life, but she develops a crush on two sexy
guys working in the kitchen. Little does she know that they also have the hots
for her…and also, they are werewolves. Ellie doesn’t quite know what throws her
for more of a loop—the werewolves thing, or that she wants to be with both of
them.
It’s a
short novella but a very sexy, smoking hot read.
What are you currently working on?
Actually, I’m
just finishing up a short story sequel to Werewolves in the Kitchen called Werewolves
with Chocolate. It’ll be offered as a freebie for people on my mailing
list. I’ll also be releasing a novella, A Fading Amaranth. Alexandra’s
psychic abilities have made it impossible for her to be in a relationship until
she meets Nathaniel, a vampire who has lost his muse. When a Faerie monster
begins stalking the streets of Chicago, they face dark magic and danger.
What do you do when you’re not
writing?
I’ve always
got a dozen irons in the fire. I write fiction and nonfiction, and I’m also an
artist and a graphic designer, I do my own covers and I do graphic design and
covers for other authors. I also travel and teach. In other words, I keep
pretty busy with creative projects.
Are any of your characters like you?
Definitely.
I give most of my characters a little piece of myself. Often one of my own
deeper flaws; it makes them more interesting to write, and gives them a bit of
an edge.
What genres do you write in?
Right now,
paranormal romance and urban fantasy, but soon I’ll have some epic fantasy and
scifi romance coming out.
Do you have a favorite quote from
your book?
“Kyle
groaned. ‘If you dress up as Red Riding Hood, Jake and I are completely not
responsible for our behavior.’ “
If you write a series do you reread
your previous books before you begin the new one?
I do. I
want to get back into my characters heads and remember how they talk.
Particularly in writing the short Werewolves story I wanted to get back into
Jake and Kyle’s banter.
When writing, how do you keep
track of timelines, ideas, inspiration and such? By notes on the computer, a
notebook perhaps?
For the most part, I can keep plots,
timelines, and ideas in my head. Unless we’re talking about one of my epic
fantasies which takes place over decades or even hundreds of years, or making
up the language they speak. Once I start writing a story it goes into its own
document. I don’t write in a linear way, so I write scenes as I’m inspired to.
That’s how I’ve ended up with 60 novels partially finished. These days my task
is just finishing them!
I’m always looking for book
recommendations. What books have you been reading? Would you recommend them?
I read a lot of
Emma Holly, Angela Knight, and Sherrilyn Kenyon. Some recent authors I’ve
enjoyed are Jory Strong (particularly her Inked Magic and Inked Destiny) and
Erin Kellison’s Shadow Bound.

When Ellie
moved to the SpiralStone retreat center to figure out her life, she expected
peace, quiet, and spiritual practice. She had no idea that the two sexy men
running the kitchen would seduce her…much less at the same time. Kyle and Jake
turn out to be wilder than they seem and Ellie finds herself wrapped up in
devastating magic. She must choose: stay with Jake and Kyle and risk who she
has been, accepting the dangerous world of shapeshifters? Or leave them and
risk madness, or worse?
A Very Spicy Excerpt from Werewolves
in the Kitchen:
Jake turned the shower on while Kyle kissed
her senseless. Ellie threaded her fingers into Kyle’s short blond curls, and
suddenly Jake was behind her, untying her shorts. Kyle drew her top up, and she
could feel Jake’s bare chest against her back.
She was just in her bra and panties when
Kyle released her to pop the button on his jeans. Then he kissed her again,
nipping his way down her body.
Jake made an appreciative noise from behind
her, and she turned her head. He kissed her, grinding his hips against her
buttocks. Distracted by Jake kissing her, she gasped when Kyle brushed his
fingers over her mound, rubbing her through her panties. He nipped at her hip,
and she felt him dragging her underwear down. She tugged him up and kissed him.
“Shower first,” she murmured.
Kyle grinned, placing her hands on the
waistband of his jeans to tug them off. Her jaw dropped just a little as his
length sprung out. “Oh my,” she whispered.
He drew her to him and into the steaming
shower, kissing her. Jake closed the glass shower door behind him; it was just
big enough for three. She took them both in before they drew closer.
Jake tipped her head back into the water to
wet it before he began lathering up her hair, his fingers massaging her scalp
as she blissed out.
Kyle grabbed a washcloth and washed her
from shoulders to feet until she shivered. Ellie blushed and protested when his
fingers slipped between her folds until she moaned. Jake claimed her lips as
Kyle began to circle her pearl where she was slick with arousal. “So wet,
baby.”
Jake slid his hands over her body, down to
her buttocks, lathering up her back with body wash as Kyle drove two fingers
into her pussy.
She cried out into Jake’s mouth at the
sensation. She’d never been kissed like this before—the hot water falling on
them, Jake’s tongue lapping at her lips even as Kyle was pleasuring her where
she’d been swollen and hot for them for so long.
Ellie moaned, thrusting down onto Kyle’s
fingers. How many times had she blushed, fantasizing about them doing this to
her? She was already on the edge of orgasm from the thrill of having them both
totally focused on her pleasure and so many days without release.
Kyle circling her pearl had her gasping for
breath against Jake’s lips. “That’s it,” he murmured, stroking in and out.
Their touches finally drove her over the
edge. Ellie cried out, bucking, and they had to hold her up as her knees gave.
Jake kissed her, and then Kyle kissed her, and she threaded her fingers through
both their hair while they murmured sweet things, petting her.
“Feel a little better?” Kyle asked, and she
blushed.
“I’ll take that as a yes,” Jake grinned.
She panted,
knowing the two of them were not done with her yet.
