Really - I can't control any longer how much of my day is taken up by daydreaming, and I have to express that storytelling urge somehow and get those stories down on paper so I can stop dreaming about them. Or at least try to. It's also a way for me to engage with the books that I love so much, to continue to be influenced by great storytellers and push genre writing forward.Q: What do you write?A: The easiest way to answer this is to say that I write genre fiction. Fantasy and romance are at the foreground; those are always present in my stories, along with a healthy sense of adventure. My fantasy leans toward darker elements, influenced by my life-long love affair with horror and gothic fiction.I write about gods and monsters and demons, but I also write about everyday people who have extraordinary things happen to them. I like flawed characters and people with complicated family lives, and I have a warm fuzzy place in my heart for genuinely good male romantic leads. The world needs more white knights.FROSTBITE A VISION IN CRIMSON (book 1) DREAMS OF ICE AND SHADOW (book 2) STANDALONE NOVELS CURSE OF THE AMBER Q: Why should readers pick up your books?
