When did you become interested in storytelling?

I’ve always been interested in telling stories, it’s the most human activity there is.

What was your first book/story published?

‘Shooting Dr. Jack.’ 

What inspired you to write SICK LIKE THAT?

I’d resisted writing anything with a ‘private eye’ in it, but I wondered what would happen if you did it from a female perspective, especially a female who came from the inner city, who maybe isn’t the biggest proponent of law enforcement.

What character in SICK LIKE THAT is the most/least like you, and in what ways?

Coming soon from authors D.D. Miers and B. Crow is the urban fantasy Gravestones & Wicked Bones, book one in the all-new Shadow Creatures series.

Half Fae. Half Demon. 100% Badass Bitch.

My sisters and I weren’t born with magic. No, we were forced into it. Betrayed into it by the one person who was supposed to protect us. Now we’re living in a shithole desert town at the mercy of a sexy-as-hell Fae named Bastian.

So far, I’ve been able to buy Violet and Jade time to live freely, without being held to Bastian’s constant call. I’ve been doing his dirty work for five long years, but my sisters’ freedom is wearing thin. Soon he’ll summon them, just as he did me—and I can’t let that happen.

Bastian’s latest assignment offers an escape for my sisters, and I’d be a fool not to take it. But my target is more powerful than any man I’ve faced before, and doubly seductive. He draws out my inner demons—literally—and evading this attraction might prove more difficult than finishing what I started.

When did you become interested in storytelling?

It sounds like the answer you always hear, but I love to tell stories. It hit a certain point in my life where I couldn’t get them to quiet down. These characters and ideas had formed and grown and they needed an outlet.

What was your first book/story published?

Dark Summoner, the first book in my Relic Keeper Series. I actually have it for free at the moment because book two is coming out next month!

What inspired you to write Gravestones & Wicked Bones?

You know, my idea started with a setting. I imagined some dumpy crap town where you’d least expect supernaturals to live. Then I imagined what kind of people would live there? Not anyone by choice. And so was born the concept for Gravestones & Wicked Bones. A story about our lack of choice and how we (or Ivy) faces that reality.

What character in Gravestones & Wicked Bones is the most/least like you, and in what ways?

Getting married is generally one of the most exciting and personally significant experiences of an individual's life. As such, it's not surprising to note that many people find it important to ensure that they select the perfect wedding ring. Remember that one big key to finding the perfect wedding ring is locating the right retailer. Read on to learn about some of the attributes that the best wedding jewelry companies will have:


One of the most important attributes to look for in a wedding jewelry company is great online reviews. This attribute is important because it proves that the retailer's customers think the services and products offered were excellent. Note that the majority of consumers now think that online reviews are at the level of credibility afforded to personal recommendations. If you come across a wedding jewelry retailer that almost always receives glowing online reviews, this is a good indication that you'll attain wonderful products from the company. On the other hand, be sure to think twice about doing business with a retailer that consistently receives negative or neutral feedback from customers.


In addition to seeking out a wedding jewelry retailer that consistently receives great online reviews, look for a team of professionals who offer fair prices. Good retailers know that many of their clients are on a tight wedding budget, and they don't overcharge just to line their pockets. Luckily, the internet makes it easy for you to do research and determine what the average asking prices are for specific brands and styles of jewelry. Comparing and contrasting the prices of at least three retailers will help you make cost-effective purchasing decisions!

Another attribute you'll want to look for in a wedding jewelry company is industry experience. This attribute is important because it empowers you to attain assistance from individuals who have extensive knowledge within the field. Note that a company that has been in operation for ten years or longer has likely maintained a good reputation as well. You can generally learn how long a wedding jewelry retailer has been operating by checking their website.

Now available from Bethany House, a division of Baker Publishing Group, is the historical romance The Captain's Daughter, book one in the London Beginnings series, by Jennifer Delamere.

The novel begins at Dartmoor Coast, England in 1873, where a seventeen-year-old Rosalyn Bernay finds herself leaving the orphanage that she has called home for many years. She's also leaving behind her two sisters, Julia and Cara. Now considered an adult, she must venture into the world to find her place, which for her it happens to be working as a maid for Mrs. Huffman in London.

Six year later, Rosalyn finds herself penniless on the streets of London. Luckily, she stumbles upon a job working backstage at a theater as a dresser. She has always had a passion for music, so she fits right in at the there.

Nate Moran arrives in London to help out his brother, who had broken his leg working backstage at the theater. Nate is going to fill in as a stagehand, so his brother won't lose his job. He had previously served in the army regiment in India before injuring his hand, so working temporarily at theater should be an easy task. Of course, his plans on returning to the army as soon as hand is healed, but plans for the future changes after he meets the beautiful Rosalyn.

After finishing Alien Covenant: The Official Novelization by Alan Dean Foster last week (look for my review on here sometime this week), I had to squeeze in several reads for upcoming book tours, which includes The Captain's Daughter, Freedom's Price, and Under a Summer Sky. I also had time to finish reading the novella collection An Amish Summer.

Next, I'm finally going to start reading Royally Roma by Teri Wilson!
