Synopsis: Ruthless People is a romantic crime fiction set in modern day Chicago, following the life and marriage of Melody Giovanni and Liam Callahan—rivals by blood and leaders through fear. Their marriage was arranged by their fathers in hopes to end years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians. Liam believes he’s getting a simple-minded wife, one he can control, one who bends to his every need . . . the complete opposite of Melody. She knows exactly what type of man he is, and she would rather die than give up the power she has spent her life building. To the outside world they look like American Royalty, but behind closed doors is a constant battle for dominance. The Mafia of the past has evolved, and with rival bosses gunning for them, Melody and Liam will have to learn to work as one to take down all those who stand in their way.

Interview:
Where are you from?
I am from Montreal, Canada.
Tell us your latest news?
I'm not sure if I have any as of yet. But the moment I get some I will post it!
When and why did you begin writing?
I started when I was about fourteen but didn't really get into it until the last 2 years.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I'm not sure honestly. Even with a book coming out now I still sometimes don't label myself a writer. I think I'm a storyteller. But I think it might have been when I got my first fan mail...that was an amazing moment.
What inspired you to write your first book?
Well Ruthless People technically isn't my first book. But what inspired me to write it was this need to have a different type of female lead. A woman who was less about love and more about results.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I Like to look at the world from different peoples eyes so I guess that would be my style. However many other authors do that as well.
How did you come up with the title?
I actually came up with the title first. It was in my head for a while and I kept wondering what type of people could live up to the standards of truly being ruthless? I guess I got my answer.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
Haha. The moment I know the message I will let you know. I'm not sure what the message is. But I love listening to what other people got out of it.
How much of the book is realistic?
I hope none of it is! But part of me feels like it just can be possible. We like to think the world doesn't work so harshly and rich people don't rule the world. However it is hard to say.
What would you like my readers to know?
Ruthless People might rub people the wrong way. It's very hard to be in the middle when it comes to this book. You either love it or your turned off by it. I just hope no matter what you all give it a chance. That you give me a chance to make share my work with you.
