Why did you write
this book?
this book?
I started it many years ago, after being inspired by Tanith
Lee’s wonderful White as Snow. Fairy tale retellings have always been one of my
favorite things to write; this novella is an homage to one of my biggest
influences, who unfortunately passed away in 2015.

It will probably always be horror, though I do read some
romance (mostly PNR and historical). I also love non-fiction.

Two are characters I’ve loved since I was a
teenager—Irrylath from The Darkangel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce and Zach
from Poppy Z. Brite’s Drawing Blood. I also adore Constantine from Robin
McKinley’s Sunshine. Two out of three are vampires, so I guess that says a lot
about me. J

What are you working
on at the moment?
on at the moment?
A Gothic/paranormal romance novella for After Glows
Publishing, concepts for a narrative game, and a lot of short fiction. I
probably won’t work on a novel-length project again until 2018, though I’ll
likely write another novella this year.

from you in coming months?
April will bring the final book of The Firebird Trilogy (The
Pieces of Us) from Limitless Publishing; the fairy tale anthology Forest
Seclusion, featuring my transgender romantic fantasy story “If Only You Were
Someone Else,” from Supposed Crimes; and the first Erotikós anthology—containing
two of my erotic horror short stories—from DarkFuse. In May, I’ll be in a
contemporary romance anthology called Craving: Bad, and later in the year, I’ll
appear in Crystal Lake Publishing’s Tales from the Lake vol. 4. I still have
quite a few short stories, novellas, and novelettes submitted to various
publishers, so hopefully this list will be updating soon!

Genre: dark fantasy/paranormal romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Aithne is a warrior kidnapped from her homeland during a
Viking invasion and forced to marry her captor. Shortly before the raid that
claims his life, she becomes pregnant with a child whom she believes cursed. Spurred
by the dark sorcery she learns from relics her late husband’s mother left
behind—including a magic mirror—Aithne descends into a madness that threatens
not only her child’s life but also the lives of everyone around her.
Exiled by her mother, Brenna is taken in by a clan of dwarves who treat her
like their own. They soon learn that no one is immune to Aithne’s lunacy—not
even the prince to whom Brenna was once betrothed. Brenna must face and conquer
death itself if she is to save the land that rightfully belongs to her, and to
break her mother’s terrible spell on the man she loves.
