In my home, standard dinner conversation includes discussions of how long it might take a hell-hound curse to take hold, and techniques a pixie might use to take down a larger opponent. If you read my novels, you'll see how many of those conversations sooner or later find their way into my writing.Q: What books do you write?A: I write urban fantasy stories filled with magic, suspense, and the occasional centaur. I generally fuel my creativity with an insatiable appetite for reading and frequent episodes of Doctor Who. (And lots and lots of Diet Coke.) I have two series out now and below is the reading order.OUTCAST MAGE TRUTHSIGHT WINTER'S MAGE ECHOES MAGIC CALLS MAGIC CRIES Q: Why do you write urban fantasy? A: Urban fantasy is definitely my first love. For me, urban fantasy is a mixture of rich, compelling metaphor, and awesome, inspiring heroes who spark the imagination and make you want to face down the demons in your own life. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be sure to scroll up and hit that BUY NOW button to jump into a world of adventure, fantasy, and of course, centaurs!
