Promise discussion

Have questions for the author? Want to share your thoughts with her? Feel free!

Answers to FAQs:

Purpose, Book 2 in the Soul Savers Series, IS released.

Promise is written with a YA voice because Alexis narrates and she is 18. Purpose picks up when she's 27, so the entire series is not written like YA. In fact, Purpose has a very different tone and mood.

I won't answer questions about Tristan, his promise and whether he keeps it. Just go read Purpose. ;)

What's your question?

I was wondering, what was your motivation to start this wonderful series? How did you come up with Alexis and Tristan?

Hi, X. I feel so bad for not seeing this until now! Thank you so much for asking, though. Let's see...my motivation...

As soon as I decided to start writing fiction again, Alexis and Tristan just came to me. They didn't have names, but a lot of emotions and a heated conversation. Just playing around to entertain myself, I wrote what has become a pivotal scene in PURPOSE. Then I decided I really wanted to get to know these people.

I'd been thinking about angels and demons for years, but didn't have a story idea. And I'd been thinking about evil, supernatural characters being real and pissed off at all these authors for exposing their secrets. The ideas rushed in - just as sudden and massive as a tsunami - and I realized that woman in the scene that I was just playing around with was the writer AND a major player in the world of angels and demons. And it just spun out of control from there.

Thank you so much for reading!

Thank you for sharing!
You created such deeply emotional and complex characters that I was wondering where they came from. It had been a long time since I read a book that actually made me feel I knew the characters.
I can't wait for the next one in the series to come out!

I was so excited to read on your blog that Promise and Purpose are getting make-overs! From what I read this includes not only new covers, but also new content! I can hardly wait. Any chance of a sneak peak of the type of new stuff we might see?

Hmm...I'll have to see what I can come up with. Stay tuned to the blog. :)
