fter I left for college, I thought I’d never see Eden again. But I found myself headed back four years later, destitute and unable to find a job anywhere else. Still, I was adamant nothing would keep me there for long.
Then I met the intoxicating Dax Allard. Copper-colored eyes, skin that emanated an exceptional heat, and a host of strange talents… It wasn’t long before I was drunk on him.
But Dax’s past was darker than mine, teeming with ancient secrets. Falling for him could cost me my life.
I had two choices: walk away or deal with the perilous consequences.
It was no choice at all.

What’s a serial novel?
A serial novel is basically told through a bunch of short “episodes” instead of in a whole books’ length work at once. Think about a TV show, for instance. You get thirty minutes of a story, but there’s also an overarching story line that runs through the whole show. That’s what a serial novel is, too: A story told in parts. 
What if I want to read the whole “season” at once instead of one installment at a time?
That’s fine! I’ll be bundling the collections up once each minor story arc comes to an end. Volume I will be available August 5th, and it’ll be the length of the average novel, about 60,000 words or 200 pages. Since serial installments are released so close together, though, most people don’t mind buying them one at a time. So you might be surprised!
Do they all have cliffhangers?
Not all of them… There might be minor cliffhangers, but I won’t leave you wondering about anything major, I promise.
Why a serial? Why not just make Fevered Souls a novel (or three) instead?
Well, for one, I liked the idea of challenging my writerly muscles by taking on writing a serial rather than a novel or novella. It’s a whole different format and utilizes different techniques of storytelling. For two, Cara and Dax’s first story came to me in an installment right off the bat, which was interesting!
How long is each episode?
The episodes are between 10-15,000 words (about 40-50 pages).
What’s the release schedule?
I plan to release these two weeks apart, starting April 22nd. Eek! Though the official release day will always be a Monday, I’ll usually be uploading the story on a weekend. That means if you’re on my Facebook page, you’ll be the first to know when it goes live!
Will readers have any input on what happens in the story?
Yes! I’ll be taking reader suggestions as the story progresses. Look out for questions in the back of the books or “like” my Facebook page to stay abreast of polls I’ll put up. It’s going to be awesome!
Why are you writing a paranormal romance instead of sci-fi like World of Shell and Bone or contemporary fiction like Secret for a Song?
I love writing, and I’ll write almost any genre. I know a lot of writers stick to one tried and true type of story, but I’m not like that. The only thread in my stories is a character (or host of characters) in a difficult situation who has to strive to come out on top. Everything else depends on my brain and where it wants to go on any given day.
I love it! What can I do to spread the word?
It’s really, really hard to get reviews for shorter works, so I promise to be your BFF if you leave me one on Amazon or Goodreads! You can also share the covers on your Facebook page or just tell your friends that you enjoyed the serial.
