Please provide a physical description of yourself.

I’m built like my Highland Scottish ancestors tall, bulky and muscular with bright green eyes that miss nothing, and a ruddy complexion. Jet black hair that waves around my shoulders. I keep it pulled in a ponytail while I work in my forge.

Please tell us a little about yourself.

I’m a blacksmith, bladesmith by trade. I have a forge in Martha’s Vineyard, but chose to move it to Colorado Springs due to magical interference.

The anvil, hammer and chains were passed down to me from many generations of blacksmiths in my family. As with my ancestors before me, I am able to craft ordinary items for mortals, but also daggers, swords and weapons with magic powers for witch’s or warlocks. Those of course are the most fun and the most dangerous. I vet my clientele very well.

Who is the significant other in your life?

Josie. She is a yoga instructor in my estranged sister’s studio.

If you haven’t made a bucket list before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.

What is your birth order?

Younger Twin. Summer Dawn Rylie is the older twin.

Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.

Magic. We are a powerful family of witches. Summer mastered her magic quickly. I mastered it but seemed to run amuck every chance I got.

Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.

Pizza with all the toppings.

Tell us about your best friend.

My sister was my best friend growing up…until the incident. I’ve forever been trying to reunite the family, but Summer disappeared. I just found her again. She is soon to be wed to a fantastic guy Devlin Sawyer a retired Navy SEAL. He’s now my best friend. But it was a rocky road to get there.

What are two places you would like to visit before you die, and why?

Australia – Land of several species of creatures and variety of climates and cultures.

Hawaii – Sand, surf, and a romantic setting.

Where is a place you would never like to return, and why?

I really can’t think of any place.

Who is someone you would like to meet, and why?

Kirkpatrick Macmillan. He was a Scottish blacksmith that is credited with inventing the pedal driven bicycle. Quite a feat back in 1878.

Who is someone you would like to avoid, and why?

The family of a certain vampire that I dated.

If you could time travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?

January 1878 to watch Kirpatrick Macmillan create the bicycle. His craftsmanship intrigues me.

Meet Tena Stetler

What was your biggest challenge in writing this book?

Keeping Daylan on track. He tended to go down paths that weren’t part of the story. While I am a panster by nature, some things have to come out in the story. He disagreed. I’d have to pull him back. Even at that, some of those paths did become part of the story.

Why did you choose this character for the interview today?

Dayan is a very complex creature. A screw up at the beginning to be sure, but he has a good heart. Eventually, he learns that impulse actions should be curbed until you have all the facts.

When writing the book, what did you discover about this character that surprised you?

The depth of his desire to reunite his family at any cost. He felt deeply responsible for causing the incident that divided his family and nearly took his life.

Are any sequels planned for this book?

Possibly. Not sure yet.

What genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?

Cozy Mystery. I’m working on a series. There is learning curve.

What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?

I was a radio DJ for a couple years for a rock station. It was a lot of fun but the pay was lousy.

Why should readers who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?

Charm Me Again – is a character driven tale set in beauty of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The twists and turns will lead you to the curse discovery, eventually solve the mystery, and warm the cockles of your heart. Not to mention the kick-ass magic weapons he forges and wields in the story.

Is there anything you’d like to say to your readers?

I write the paranormal romance/mystery tales for my readers. In hopes of sweeping them away from their ordinary, stressful world into a fantasy world they’ll enjoy for a few hours. I am so grateful for their support and enjoyment of my books. Thank you all so MUCH!

Colorado is her home; shared with her husband of many moons, a brilliant Chow Chow, a spoiled parrot and a forty-five-year-old box turtle. Any winter evening, you can find her curled up in front of a crackling fire with a good book, a mug of hot chocolate and a big bowl of popcorn.
