Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the book! I'm afraid I don't have a solid release date for the next book yet, but I believe it will be late 2016 or very early 2017.

Music is one thing that really inspires me. I almost always have something playing in the background while I'm writing.

When I get writer's block, it usually means I need to step back and give my brain a break. I'll go on a walk, weed the flowers, fold a load of laundry, or focus on some other mindless task. It gives my mind a chance to wander freely, and some of my best plot ideas and twists have come to me when I wasn't consciously thinking about writing.
One of my favorite authors, Agatha Christie, once said, "The best time for planning a book is while you're doing the dishes." I love that.

I was seventeen, still in high school, and working at the local library. As countless books passed through my hands, I was disappointed in the lack of well-written, clean fiction available for young adults. So when a story about a prestigious academy and the students who lived there wandered into my head one day as I was straightening shelves, I started writing it down.
I put the project on hold when I entered college to focus on term papers and exams, and later to begin a career. But the characters never really left my mind, and when I discovered an old copy of the manuscript nearly a decade later, I decided to finish it.
