Book Description:
Last Spring, Claire was framed
for the murder of Junior, the Devil’s oldest hellspawn.
Last Summer, she reawakened the
fourth realm, saved the world (after almost destroying it), and wound up with
the worst job ever.
Now, Claire’s been locked out of
her realm, given an assistant that doesn’t actually assist, and told to handle
a small problem in Underworld that might just get her killed.
And to top it all off, Mab’s made
one of the contenders her untouchable. So, yeah, you could say Claire’s having
one of those days.
Follow more of Claire’s
adventures in Dark Forsaken, book 3 of the Devil’s Assistant Series, to find
out if Claire can defeat the latest contender, survive the quads, and replace
the curator before Harry figures out she’s stolen his blood.

Book Description:
Last spring Claire’s seemingly
normal—if not totally screwed up—life was tossed on its head. For five years
she’d been one of the damned—a human that knows the truth about the
otherworldly among us. She’d worked for The Boss—the Demon King himself—as his
administrative assistant, handling everything from early retirements, to
Maintenance’s incessant requests for dental.
No one gets dental.
Then she walked into
Purgatory—totally not her fault—went back in time, and awakened powers she
never knew existed. Now Claire has a prophecy hanging over her head, a diamond
ring hidden in her sock drawer, and the blood of a long dead royal running through
her veins.
And it’s only going to get worse.
Her vow to live free or die takes
a serious hit when she’s forced back under The Boss’s protection. Of course,
there’s no protection from fate, or the Bounty Hunter sent to deliver her to
Purgatory. And as if being “the girl” in the prophecy wasn’t enough, Claire
soon discovers there are three other contenders for her role—two of whom want
her dead.
Follow more of Claire’s
adventures in Dark Awakened, the second installment of the Devil’s Assistant Series,
to find out if she’s lucky enough to escape with her life, or if she’s just the
first notch on the next contender’s belt.

Book Description:
Claire, the Devil’s assistant, knows
very little about the world she was dropped into five years ago, when she
inherited her mother’s unpaid debt to the Demon King. She certainly didn’t
expect to be a contender for the Fallen Queen’s throne, a target for the Druid
King’s mafia, or a suspect in the murder of Junior, the Devil’s oldest hell
spawn.
In a last ditch effort to save
her life and get out of her deal with the Devil, she sets out to solve Junior’s
murder only to be taken prisoner by the four most dangerous immortal hell spawn
alive.
Not to be out done, the Pagan
Queen Mab, claims Claire for entering her realm uninvited. She has an old debt
to settle with her brother the Devil. Taking Claire from him after losing her
years ago is just icing on the cake.
Will Claire win her freedom, and
save herself from the Devil? Or be trapped by Mab forever?

Tell us your latest news? Dark
Forsaken, book 3 in the Devil’s Assistant series just released December 25th!
I’m currently working on book 4, the final book in Claire’s story arc.
When and why did you begin writing? After finishing my master’s degree in 1999, I started writing
as a hobby. After planning two books to death, I completed my first book
(Keegan’s Point, a 40,000 word novella) in 2002, but didn’t publish it until
2011 when I discovered Smashwords.
When did you first consider yourself a writer? When I let my friend Stacie read the very first (very rough)
completed version of Keegan’s Point … it was pretty atrocious, but everyone has
to start somewhere :)
What inspired you to write your first book? All the characters trying to beat their way out of my head ;)
Do you have a specific writing style? Pantser all the way (sometimes called discovery writer) … I
don’t outline, outlining is the kiss of death for a story in my opinion. I make
a game plan and just start writing.
How did you come up with the title? After finishing a book, I brainstorm a bunch of options to
find a unique (or mostly unique) combination. It can be hard to do, especially
if you have decided to start all of them with Dark ... which is the most
overused beginning of a title ever!
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp? Not really. I’ve read books where
it’s clear the author has a passion for something (like organic foods for
example), but I find most of that kind of thing usually just drags down the
story or is oddly placed just to get it out there. I’m not trying to make a
political statement or right the wrongs by bringing to light an issue (not that
there is anything wrong with that, if that’s what you like to read/write go for
it), but I’m writing about a kick-ass heroine who’s had fate screwing with her
since day one—not a social commentary on violence in the workplace.
How much of the book is realistic? Not one damn bit ;) … however, I’ve been told it is easy to
slip into my world of crazy and suspend disbelief.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life? No—not really based on anything real.
What books have most influenced your life most? When I was younger, Choose Your Own Adventure series, now I
read more Urban Fantasy and paranormal romance.
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor? I read a lot of Urban Fantasy and
have many favorites, it would be impossible to choose just one.
What book are you reading now? I just finished City of Light by Keri Arthur
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest? I recently discovered Jocelynn Drake. I like
her Asylum series.
What are your current projects? Book 4 (untitled) of the Devil’s Assistant series.
What would you like my readers to know? Books 1-3 of the series are on sale this week! Try Dark Hope
(book 1) for FREE (Feb 5-9). Dark Awakened (book 2) and Dark Forsaken (book 3)
are both on sale for $0.99 each. And you can add audio narration to books 1
& 2 for $1.99 each (I love audio!). Book 3 audio will be out by end of
April or beginning of May.
