Please tell us a bit more about the plot of The Deliverer.

Eager to serve the One, a young songkeeper travels to the dark and foreign nation of Hazor, but her confusing, rough-edged companion has lost his Restorer gifts. As danger rises against them both, she loses her freedom, her memories, and her hope. Now even the very music of her soul is threatened.

In our world, Susan Mitchell no longer feels at home in the carpool lane. Burdened by the unhealed scars from her trips through the portal, she fights to suppress her worry about her son, who remains out of contact in Lyric. But when a mysterious message hints Jake is in danger, she and her husband are swept away—to the place they least expect.

Clan rebellions. Lost Restorers. Has the One turned away, or will the face of the Deliverer bring light to the darkness?

Book four of The Sword of Lyric series.

What is it about Linette that will make your readers care about her?

Linette is a young woman with an earnest passion to serve the One, a painful loss to overcome, and a growing attraction to the most unlikely man.

If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?

Maybe Kate Hudson for Linette,





and Colin Farrell for Kieran.



Share with us one line or paragraph from your novel that gives us a good feel for its tone.

“A good songkeeper would have the perfect encouragement to offer, but I couldn’t dredge up a single useful word. I looked up at the dark gates of Sidian. Beyond them, we had been challenging generations of darkness in a frightening culture. Well, frightening to me. Fear wasn’t part of Kieran’s vocabulary. But the dangers were growing.”

What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?

Undercurrent by Michelle Gripe – because she writes with rich texture and immerses the reader in a different culture and time.

What are you working on now?

A romantic suspense novel set in the theatre world.
