Do
you write in different genres?
I write in the paranormal/fantasy genre. I attempted
to write a contemporary novel once and couldn’t make it past the first few
chapters. That’s when I realized my stories need to have at least a whiff of
the supernatural.
Is
there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
That it’s okay to dream and dream big. I also hope
readers, especially teenagers, will recognize Erin’s inner strength. She’s
independent, and while she falls hard for James, she doesn’t lose her sense of
self. It’s wonderful to fall in love, but you shouldn’t give up everything to suit
the guy you’re dating.
What
books/authors have influenced your life?
Stephen King, Anne Rice, Virginia Andrews, Maeve
Binchy, Marian Keyes, L.J. Smith, the Point
Horror and Nightmares series, and
many, many more.
What
book are you reading now?
I just finished Marian Keyes’ The Mystery of Mercy Close. Keyes is a witty, Irish writer. Her
books could be classified as intelligent chick lit.
What
books are in your to read pile?
I have roughly 100 books to get through on my
Kindle, among them Eternal Crimson by
Michelle Hughes, Read Me Dead by
Emerald Barnes, Guardian of Fate by
L.J. Kentowski and Latter Day of the Dead
by Kevin Krohn. There aren’t enough
hours in the day for all the books I’m dying to read.
What
is your current “work in progress” or upcoming projects?
I’m working on another vampire novel, for adults
this time, called Night Whispers set
in London. It follows Alex and Tristan, the characters from my short story
collection, Night Sighs.
Do
you have to travel much to do research for your books?
No. My stories come from my imagination. I’ve
travelled a lot through Europe and would like to incorporate my experiences
into future books. This summer I was in
Barcelona and took pic after pic of fabulous houses and historical buildings.
Hopefully I can use them for inspiration for future books. In fact, I was
imagining my characters, Alex and Tristan from Night Whispers on holiday and staying in lavish accommodations in
the city.
Do
you have a song or playlist (book soundtrack) that you think represents this
book?
"Breakaway"- Kelly
Clarkson. Erin's song.
"You Really Got
Me" - The Kinks. James when he’s
thinking about Erin.
"Stay" -
Shakespears Sister. The scary love
triangle made up of Erin, Carla and James.
"Talk Show Host" -
Radiohead. Zach.
"Don't Cry" - Guns
'N' Roses.
"Liar" -
Cranberries.
"I'm on Fire" -
Bruce Springsteen.
"Honestly OK" -
Dido.
"Where the Wild Roses
Grow"- Nick Cave featuring Kylie Minogue. This is the song Erin hears in
her nightmare.
