Author Interview:
Q. What one thing do you need to have when you write?
A. I need three things: my laptop, my headphones, and Diet Coke.
Q. Describe your book in 5 words
A. Paranormal. Ghost-hunting. Intense. Romance. Secret Societies.
Q. Tell us 5 random facts about yourself.
A. 1. I don’t know how to ride a bike. 2. I used to be an artist (a painter). 3. I won’t fly without my huge charm necklace that I believe will keep the plane from crashing. 4. I believe in ghosts. 5. Every time I write a book, I worry that everyone will hate it.
Q. What are you working on now?
A. I am working on the second book in the Legion Series, the sequel to Unbreakable. Like Unbreakable, the sequel is very intense and has plenty of paranormal elements. But I think it’s even more romantic and surprising than the first book.
Q. What is your favorite genre to write in? To Read?
A. My favorite genre to write is definitely urban fantasy/paranormal romance. I love to read paranormal, but I am also a huge fan of horror, crime fiction, high fantasy, and science fiction.

Synopsis:
Unbreakable:I never believed in ghosts. Until one tried to kill me.
When Kennedy Waters finds her mother dead, she doesn’t realize paranormal forces are responsible—not until mysterious identical twins Jared and Lukas Lockhart break into her room and destroy a deadly spirit sent to kill her.
Kennedy learns that her mother’s death was no accident, and now Kennedy has to take her place in the Legion of the Black Dove—a secret society of ghost hunters formed to protect the world from a vengeful demon. A society whose five members were all murdered on the same night, leaving the Legion in the hands of the next generation: a misfit group with unique skills.
As the new members race to find the only weapon capable of destroying the demon, each uses their individual skills to battle paranormal entities and earn their rightful place in the Legion—except for Kennedy.
If she is truly the missing piece of the puzzle, can she stay alive long enough to find out—without losing her heart in the process?
Protect yourself.
What you can’t see can hurt you.
