How do you feel about having
the first and second book released in the same year? Not many authors have more
than one book released in one year.
It was definitely a push to get out of both novels
within six months of one another. First Visions (the first book in the series)
came together really quickly so while I was going through the querying and
editing process, I was working on the sequel.
How do you feel about New
Revelations? Is it better than book one? Easier to write?
I’m happier with New Revelations than First Visions.
With sequels, I feel you can get things going at a quicker pace. Introductions
and characterizations have already begun and you can get to the meat and
potatoes of the plot without getting hung up on these things. However, Book Two
was certainly not easier to write. I spent more time researching, editing and
making sure there was continuity between the two books.
How would you say Kate has
grown from book one to book two?
Kate was sort of a brat at the start of the first
book. She’s unhappy about being psychic and feels it makes her an outcast in
her town. At the end of the first book, she has an epiphany and realizes being
psychic is a gift that allows her to help others. Kate’s growth continues into
New Revelations, but her insistence on meddling in cases causes some problems
in her personal relationships.
Now what can you tell us
about Declan? He is a hot character, but hope he doesn't ruin Kate and Jared's
relationship.
Declan is that guy your friends warn you about. He’s
hot, arrogant and leaves behind a string of broken hearts. Kate feels there’s
more to him than what’s on the surface and becomes friends with the psychic.
Kate’s relationship with Jared becomes strained after Declan claims that she’s
meant to be with him.
Can you give us readers a
peak into New Revelations? Something that will make us want to get the book
right away?
Kate meets another psychic and they decide to work
together on several missing persons cases. This includes a five-year-old
abducted from a shopping mall in Washington and a missing fitness instructor in
her early twenties. Throughout the plot, I try to add in elements of suspense,
humor and romance.
Are you planning on a third
book? I hope so, the ending has a such a good cliff hanger.
Yes, the third book is completely outlined and I’m
early on in the writing process. I’m hoping for an early 2013 release date.
This may be overly ambitious, so don’t hold me to that.
Lastly is there anything you
would like to say/add?
Thank you so much for having me! I’m a book lover as
well and I love to check out blogs from fellow bibliophiles. Happy reading!
