I used to play by telling stories so pretty much as soon as I could talk.

What was your first book/story published?

Fate Knows Best the first book in the Kindred of Arkadi.

What inspired you to write My Defender?

I identified with the heroine of this book and wanted to see if I could do her justice.

Ironically my personality is nothing like the heroine of this book even though I identify with her on another level. 

What is your favorite part in My Defenders?

I love Meryn’s new shenanigans.

What was the hardest part to write?

Sometimes the emotional weight of a scene can get to me making it hard to write it.

What would your ideal career be, if you couldn't be an author?

I would love to be paid to travel for a living.

Do you read reviews of your books? If so, do you pay any attention to them, or let them influence your writing?

Yes, I read reviews because I love hearing what readers think of my books.

What well-known writers do you admire most?

Anne McCaffrey, Laurel K Hamilton, Patricia Briggs, LA Banks, and Shelley Laurenston

Do you have any other books/stories in the works?

I am starting a new series in a new genre for me called Ghostly Echoes which will come out this fall.

  1. I can't say enough good this about this book and this series. I ran the gamut of emotions from sobbing to laughing out loud (I got some strange looks but my sister realized what I was reading). If you haven't read Alanea Alder's books start at the beginning and go. You're Welcome!!
