So glad you enjoyed it. Sorry, I don't come to Goodreads often. Bells, the prequel to Chapel Crest releases in a few days. Then Ashes.

Brax from Emissary of the Devil. He was deliciously twisted and vile with an undercurrent of desperation to him. I got to write him doing really bad things while simultaneously making him a better creature than he thought he was.

I'm currently writing the series Emissary of the Devil, book one, Testimony of the Damned and I'm working on the second book in The Chronicles of Winterset, Wildfire.

Write! Write when you're happy, when you're sad, when you're angry, when you're lost. Your emotions can help create an interesting world filled with interesting characters.

It may sound strange to say, but when you're a writer, you're a god. You get to create a world entirely your own. I love having that sort of control over something.

I see a great many things in my line of work. I meet a variety of people, some sick, some healthy, some dying-all inspire me. Every situation I find myself in leads me down a path. I have met some extraordinary people with extraordinary stories, with extraordinary lives. Every situation I stumble into in life is simply a seed to something greater.
The Chronicles of Winterset, Oracle, was inspired by a road. Seems simple, eh? I was out on an emergency call when we passed by a road called Winterset. I thought, "What a pretty name. I should write a book about it." The name stuck with me. I had this bizarre dream a few weeks later (I always have bizarre dreams) about a girl being lost in a woods. She met different people along the way, and they changed her, molded her into someone great. Finally, she reached a house in the woods she was drawn to, and when she had the courage to knock on the door, a man answered. The man she had been running from. I woke up and immediately wrote it down. After many drafts, and many late nights, The Chronicles of Winterset was born.
