Do you write in different genres?
Yes. My first series was
YA Fantasy. This one is an Adult Paranormal Romance. And, I’m currently writing
a Contemporary Military Romance for my agent.
If yes, which is your favorite genre to write?
I like them all for
various reasons. It really depends on my mood.
How did you come up with the title for your
latest book?
UNDER HIS SKIN came from a
song by Frank
Sinatra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY_I8apynfs
Do you title the book first or wait until after
it’s complete?
I always write the book
first, but sometimes the title comes to me as I’m writing.
Is the book, characters, or any scenes based on
a true life experience, someone you know, or events in your own life?
No. It’s a story about
an alien that falls in love with his human best friend. :-)
What book are you reading now?
I’m reading, THE SHADOW
QUEEN by C. J. Redwine
What books are in your to read pile?
TONS! I love to read.
Is there anything you find particularly
challenging in your writing?
The first draft of every
novel is always the most challenging.
Who is your favorite author and what is it that
really strikes you about their work?
In YA, I love Holly
Black. In Adult, I love Gena Showalter. I think they are both master
storytellers.
Who designed the cover of your latest book?
Entangled has their own
art department.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Stop making excuses and
WRITE. If this is what you really want, go for it.

Excerpt
2
Mate.
He’d told Hayden he would stick to his routine. That meant watching the game at
her apartment on Sunday and maintaining their friendship. His logical mind
fought against his growing urges. Last night, he couldn’t have a simple
conversation without touching her. And she didn’t make things any easier. He
could smell the desire pouring out of her. It took every ounce of his
self-control to hold himself back. At times, it was painful. “I know what I’m
doing. I’ve got the situation under control.”
Cam
laughed. “Like you did yesterday? Dude, we both know it’s only going to get
worse. You’re like a ticking sex bomb.”
Deep
down, Kaden knew he was right. Annabelle would become an irresistible,
unquenchable thirst. Ordinarily, she would feel the same pull, but there was no
way to know how a human would react. “There’s no such thing as a sex bomb.”
Cam
spread himself flat across the sofa with his arms crossed behind his head.
“Yeah, well, there definitely should be.”
“Be
serious.”
He
sat up. “I’m trying to tell you, it’s foolish to fight the bond between you.
You’d be better off going with it and letting the panties drop where they may.”
And
what would happen if he did bond with her? There was no chance it would ever
work out between them. He had to hide who he was from the world. A life with
him meant Annabelle would have to lie to her friends and family about their
relationship. He would never be able to marry her or give her the children she
wanted. They’d talked about her dreams for a white picket fence and a family.
Even if she were willing to give up those things, wouldn’t he be putting her
life in danger? A dull ache formed in the pit of his chest. “You know that’s
not possible.”
If
he could somehow push away these human emotions of his, maybe he stood a chance
of keeping her in his life. Maybe someday he could actually be happy for her if
she found a suitable mate. He dug his fingernails into the palms of his hands
at the thought of her with a human. “I have to go. She’s waiting for me.”
“Don’t
forget the condoms,” Cam shouted out. “Matter of fact, you might want to double
up. With all your pent-up frustration, there’s bound to be an explosion.”
“Hilarious,”
he replied, shutting the door behind him as he made his way toward his truck.
Once inside, he slid his seat belt on and leaned back against the head cushion
with his eyes closed. Filled with self-doubt, he worried that he wouldn’t be
able to handle it. But he had to.
For
the sake of everyone he loved, he had to find a way.
