What
is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called My Maker’s Keeper. I’m a huge vampire fan and a huge YA fan, so I knew I
wanted to write something that combined the two. Generally, a lot vampire books
involve a human girl falling for a vampire, but I thought it would be fun to
flip that concept and have the girl be the vampire.
How
would you categorize your book?
It’s Young Adult and Paranormal Romance.
Introduce
us to your series lead protagonist. What
is it about this character that appeals to you as a writer?
Hannah Clark is the lead in My Maker’s Keeper. She’s an 18-year-old senior in high school who was turned
into a vampire against her will. She’s trying to keep that a secret from
everyone she knows and loves. What I like about her is that she’s not some
damsel in distress. She has real issues that she’s trying to work through in
the book, and that’s nice to see.

How
did the book come to be titled?
In my book, I wanted to add to the vampire lore that’s out there, so I
created this term called a “keeper.” Basically, a keeper is what’s considered a
vampire’s offspring. So I used that term coupled with the saying “my brother’s
keeper” and got My Maker’s Keeper.
Tell
us more about the cover design. How
involved were you with creating the cover?
I hired a graphic designer for my cover. I wish I could create it
myself, but that’s just not my wheelhouse. Basically, I gave him a general idea
of what I wanted the cover to look like and the mood I was hoping to create. It
only took him a few go rounds to get my vision right.
What
types of genres do you read now for pleasure?
Do
you have any favorite characters, and if so, what is it about them that appeals
to you?
I generally love the dark and troubled male leads in the books. What can
I say, I’m a sucker for the bad boy (at least in fiction).
What
is next for you?
I’m writing an urban fantasy novelette. It’s about this cynical and
sarcastic woman who doesn’t believe in the supernatural – only to discover she
is supernatural and has to team up with a hot guy to rid the world of monsters.
MY MAKER’S KEEPER SYNOPSIS
Hannah
Clark used to be an ordinary girl. She used to be a lot of things. Until she
was bitten.
Five
months ago, Hannah woke up in the middle of the woods as a vampire. She didn’t
know how it happened or who turned her. She just knew she wasn’t safe in her
hometown anymore.
Fort
Wayne was supposed to be her fresh start. Her chance to finish high school
without any other incidents. But then she met Jackson. Their attraction was
instant and awakened something deep inside of her. Her thirst for blood.
Things
only got worse when her maker, Lucas, came to town. He might have been sexy,
but he was one dangerous vampire. And if Hannah wanted to keep Jackson safe,
she had to protect him from Lucas’ ravenous ways. Even though she found herself
excited by them.
But Lucas
wasn’t there for her. Something sinister was happening in town. Vampires were
going missing, and if Hannah didn’t want to be next, she had to work with Lucas
to solve the mystery. But could she trust him? Or should she trust Jackson? She
had to make a choice—and her life might just depend on it.
