EnJoy!

When is your birthday?

November 9th

Where did you grow up?

Upstate New York

Are you a morning person, or a night person?

Night Person all the way!! I hate mornings.

Why did you choose to write for the genre that you do?

I think it’s because it’s the genre I mostly read but I am growing into other books and my writing is expanding as well.

If you could live with one person living, dead, or imaginary for one year in a tiny one bedroom apartment, who would you choose and why?

Christian Grey and you know why ;)

What is the wallpaper on your cellphone?

My daughter doing gymnastics

What inspires you, or where do you look for inspiration?

Music! Always Music! I can’t write without it. It helps me get into a certain mood.

What is the most attractive, and the first thing you notice, about the opposite sex?

Their eyes and smile then their attitude but if the attitude sucks nothing else matters

Who is the first person you call when you are having a bad day?

My mom, she’s my rock

What kind of drunk person do you turn into when you drink?

I Hardly ever drink but I’d say outgoing and laughing a lot.

What was your worst autocorrect situation?

Auto correct screws me over all the time, but it’s super bad when I am trying to promote my work and auto correct changes half the things I’ve written and I sound like an illiterate fool.

What is your favorite 90’s throwback jam?

OMG No Diggity by blackstreet and Crossroads by Bone Thugs and Harmony

What do you put on your pizza?

Nothing, I like my pizza with extra cheese and that’s it.

Who would win in a fight: Batman or Spiderman?

Batman! (I only say this because my son is obsessed so I am loyal to team Batman!)

Do you believe in Ghosts? Aliens? Big Foot?

Ghosts, yes. Aliens, yes! Space is vast and still unexplored, we can not be the only living being in the universe. It’s impossible.

So, the Moon Landing, did it actually happen?

I want to believe but….I don’t know. I watch a lot of conspiracy theory stuff hahaha!!

If only one of your books could be turned into a movie, which one would you choose and why?

The Shattered Series and I would want either Len Wisen (director of under world) or David Slade (he directed Eclipse) They both would be abe to capture the mood so well!

Who is your favorite author, and/or what is your favorite book?

I love Richelle Mead, her Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series are my favorite.

Do you ever hide secrets in your books that only a few people would find?

Not secrets but things only certain people would understand, yes.

What is one food, or drink, that you could NEVER give up?

Chocolate!!

What was the hardest scene, or book, for you to write?

The opening scene in Faithfully Shattered. I had to really let myself feel the loss Addy was feeling to be able to convey those emotions so strongly.

What is your most favorite quote or lyric?

“I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major”-Lukas Graham

Would You Rather...

Know the history of everything you touch, or be able to speak to animals?

Know the history, though talking to animals sounds fun!

Be permanently transported 200 years into the future, or be permanently transported 200 years into the past?

200 Years into the future, I think it’d be neat to see what the world is like.

I did not put this book down from start to finish! The story builds, it has all the feels, and it twists you around in truly unexpected kind of ways... I will be telling all my book friends about this book! ❤.. I cannot wait for the next book!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely loved this book, I could not put it down. I was enthralled by the story and stuck in it until I finished it. It had just the right amount of mystery, emotions, and conflict. All of the characters were likable, and it was well written and easy to read. I am excited to read the next book in this series, Faithfully Fractured, and can't wait to find out what happens next.

OMG!

This book was even better than the first one! I was sucked right in and engaged the entire time. I loved the story, I loved the characters, and I loved this author! I want more, and will be telling everyone with ears and eyes about this book. Stars ∞ !!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

(4.5 stars) I enjoyed reading this book and being able to see both Addy and Luca's POV. I liked all the new characters that were introduced, and all the new questions that were left unanswered have me looking forward to the next book. The story flowed just as well as the first book, however there were a couple of moments where the writing seemed redundant. All in all it was a great story and I feel like it ended in the perfect spot. I'm excited to see where the author takes this story from here.

⭐⭐⭐⭐✮
