Book Description:
Goddesses just want to have fun,
right?
Peitho’s first job as an Immortal
Representative means slumming it at the Shifter Convention, where shifters and
supernaturals will be meeting to discuss concerns and build relations. She’s
sure it’s going to be boring—all they have to complain about is fleas and
territory.
Wait . . . is that a dragon?
Obsessive is a strong word.
Hunter thinks Peitho would make a
great addition to his hoard of treasure. Dragons are famously acquisitive; how
is he supposed to ignore her? Everyone always says it’s bad to fight your
nature.
When shifters begin disappearing
from the convention, and bodies quickly appearing, Peitho and Hunter have no
choice but to investigate. Will Hunter and Peitho manage to solve the crime
while still keeping their hearts intact?

Interview
Where are you from?
I am from Kalamzoo, Michigan.
Tell us your latest news?
I have been working on drafting my fourth book in my
Goddess Ascension series.
When and why did you begin writing?
I began writing when I was in Middle School. I loved
reading, but I was having a hard time finding the type of book that I wanted to
read. I was hoping for intense excitement, crazy situations, and happily ever
afters. Instead of trying to continue find this type of book, I decided to
write one.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I first considered myself a writer when I was a
teenager and had a short story published in a teen magazine. It gave me the
confidence to realize writing was more than just a hobby for me.
What inspired you to write your first book?
I was inspired by the interactions people have with
one another. I love exploring different types of relationships, their growth,
and their struggles. I wanted to take these mundane, completely realistic
situations and add a bit of magic to them.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I write how I speak! I include a ton of humor, sass,
and fun in my writing.
How did you come up with the title?
My leading female, Peitho, has gold skin. This is a
very prominent physical characteristic that she has always identified with. Her
skin is used as a physical defense as well as a way to allure others. When I
was thinking of a title for the book, I decided to highlight this aspect of the
character.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?
Peitho is the Goddess of Seduction and Persuasion.
She sometimes seems to have a love/hate relationship with who she is. Peitho’s
friends accept her for who she is without making judgements or trying to change
her. I want my readers to realize that it’s ok to be who you are regardless of
the opinion of others.
How much of the book is realistic?
Very little, but that’s the fun part!
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life?
Of course! I use my experiences and relationships as
inspiration. I’ll have conversations with those around me and jot down amusing
comments or crazy circumstances. I won’t use exact conversations or situations,
but I’ll try to duplicate the feeling.
What books have most influenced your life most?
I loved everything by Tamora Pierce when I was a
teenager. She’s the first author I read for pleasure instead of necessity.
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor?
I consider any author that I read a mentor. When I’m
excited by a book and completely drawn in, it encourages me to focus on my own
projects. If I need a break from what I’m working on, I can always count on my
favorite authors to keep me entertained.
What book are you reading now?
Right now I am rereading Kresley Cole’s Immortals
After Dark series. I think her books are quirky and a ton of fun.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest?
A new author, for me, is Suzanne Wright. I recently
read her the first book in her Deep in Your Veins series. It was a sassy read,
which I really like!
What are your current projects?
I am working on the fourth book in my Goddess
Ascension series. I’m planning having it focus on Enyo, the Goddess of War. I
think it will be a really interesting character to write about. She’s a total
badass but so socially oblivious, you can’t help but adore her. Enyo is a hot
mess, emphasis on hot.
What would you like my readers to know?
I want my readers to know I appreciate them taking
the time to read my writing. Your support and kind words mean a lot to me! I
love sharing my writing with you all.
