What I don't tell you in this interview is that I was just in the stairwell nursing my 3-month-old baby in the 90 degree heat while he was on a nursing strike.

I think I held my cool pretty well...



Gosh it was a fun event though...basically hanging out with my writer/pub friends all day and meeting fans. Loved it!

Thanks for the interview Scripts & Scribes! read more »

Description: Excerpt from Oppression (Children of the Gods #1) Elyse knows what it means to keep a secret. She's been keeping secrets her whole life. Two, actually. First, that she ages five times slower than the average person, so that while she looks eighteen years old, she's closer to eighty. Second, that her blood has a mysterious power to heal. For Elyse, these things don't make her special. They make life dangerous.
