About this author

My YA urban fantasy novel FRACTURED LIGHT was just released. The sequel is tentatively planned for release in February 2013.

I've been drunk on writing ever since I traveled to Ireland and became blessed (or cursed) by a Leprechaun with a french accent and a bad attitude. Of course I did just steal his gold, but that's another story.

I currently live in Maine and find the place terribly and hauntingly romantic. Love the forests and graveyards.

I really had to force myself to read this. The writing felt like the author was trying to sound like a young adult. One teenager even called another teenager a "toad-face". I think I heard my six year old say this once. This is just one of many examp...more

This barely made it to 3 stars for me. Honestly, the only reason I finished it was because of Jace. I liked his character. Clary's was just...blah. She had many opportunities to become a strong female character, but didn't. Because of her amazing blo...more
