If I'm new to you, where should I start reading?
I put together a complete reading list for you to start!! Another GREAT way to figure out where to start is to join my reader group and post in there. I really encourage questions or posts in there because the readers in there are AMAZING! If you join, you will see for yourself. I love love love the readers in there.
My general advice for new writers!
I will randomly get this message and my response is always the same. Writing was a very solitary journey for me, so my advice tends to be somewhat in the same vein. I researched A LOT! There's many literary agencies who post tips for new writers. It's not just on how to get an agent, but on writing itself. I followed those a lot, but I also wrote what was in my heart. So my main three pieces of advice I give are:
1. Do your research. (Google is an amazing tool.)
2. Write for yourself, never for others.
3. Join writing groups on Facebook. These are gold if you find the right ones where they focus on the essentials of writing or publishing, if that's where you're at in your journey.
4. If you're looking for an editor, cover designer, formatter, proofreader recommendations, click below! These are the ones I use often. Click on RECOMMENDATIONS below.

How do you choose who you give shout-outs to or help promote?
This is a hard question to tackle because there's a few different sides to this question, but the short answer is that who I recommend is usually spur-of-the-moment or there's a few years of a relationship between myself and that person.
Relationships are so vital in this community.
If I tend to know you and trust you, I'll give a shout-out (if I can!), but I can't promise because that'll get too overwhelming for me.
If I don't or cannot for whatever reason (maybe I'm just burnt out) it's never personal.

Will there be a Broken and Screwed 3, Carter Reed 3, more from the A WHOLE NEW CROWD universe, more from Fighter, or another book in the Jaded series?
I hate saying no when I get asked these questions, but that's the truth. For many of these books, I've really tried to force myself to write more books from them, but it's just not in me. I respect all of those characters so much and my readers that I won't put out a book that's not worth those characters. There are no plans on writing any more of these books, and I do feel bad writing this, but I don't want to force myself to write a book that's not in me. As of now: all these characters are happy! If they weren't, they would start speaking to me.
Will Sentiment Lost be published?
My only answer for this is: join my reader group, go to the FILES section, and click on SENTIMENT LOST! Your question will be answered. :) (Reader group link HERE.)
Are you planning on writing any more paranormal romance books?
YES! I have (at least) one more in me, but it's not connected to my other paranormal books. All those books are done. There won't be any more Evil, or another Davy book. It will be brand new characters and possibly a brand new paranormal genre too. I have no release date for this, though.
Any plans for more Fallen Crest or another book from Logan?
I love the Fallen Crest universe, and I miss them too, but they're happy right now. I can't say I won't ever write more of them because they do still speak to me, but there are no plans for now. If I do, it will be years down the road. So for now, they're happy!
