Excerpt:
He sc**wed up. So bad, he didn’t
think he could fix it. Peter tossed the ball against the wall once more as he
drowned out Kyle’s words. He never admitted everything that had happened to him
in the Stronghold to Kyle. Didn’t think he could. One thing for sure, time was
up. Peter was through waiting to be told what to do by the Elders of at this
dump who seemed to have their own agendas. Dealing with the nightmares of what
he’d done - possibly killing a man by pulling something beyond evil out of him,
plagued Peter every night. Those times when he wasn’t careful, it pressed his
thoughts, even when awake.
“We’ll
go get her.” Peter’s dark brown eyes landed on Kyle’s questioning blue ones.

Tell us your latest news?
Deviant
Storm, is coming to town. It’s the 2nd book in my Purgatory Reign
Trilogy.
When and why did you begin writing?
I
started when I was around 12 years old, because I loved pretending to be other
people and decided I may as well write about them.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
Oh,
when I started my first full novel, Explorer X Alpha.
What inspired you to write your first book?
My
son’s frustration with the lack of diversity in his book choices at the store.
Do you have a specific writing style?
Not
really, every story flows differently from me.
How did you come up with the title?
I
have no idea, lol! It just came to me.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?
The one
message I share in my work is, “You can overcome anything, and through it, at
the end of it – you will become stronger, fiercer and fuller.”
How much of the book is realistic?
In
my mind, 90% of it. It asks the question, ponders the reality of the evil
within men – and can we really always blame the Devil for the terror we create
or the way we behave.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life?
Some
of the experiences are based on my own and others, particularly my husband
who’d spent time in an orphanage in his youth. And I had actually been homeless
when I was 18yrs old, living out of my car. So my characters express those very
real circumstances.
What books have most influenced your life most?
I’d
have to say Judy Blume. Boy, I loved her books growing up. And well Stephen
King and John Saul fed my dark side.
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor?
L.A.
Banks. I loved her Sci-Fi, paranormal, spiritual books that had characters of
all races and shapes.
What book are you reading now?
Skinless
by L.M. Davis
What are your current projects?
I’m
working on the final book in the Purgatory Reign Series, Fierce Tides which
should be available next Nov. 2016. Stay tuned.
What would you like my readers to know?
Don’t
be afraid to follow your dreams and to stumble, fall and get up again.
