It was a vision! One that stuck with me of a lone woman facing a horrific warrior in the midst of chaos and destruction!  I envisioned the type of woman who would do this and then I started writing.  Two worlds colliding, ripping apart lives. This is the story of one woman, an unknown and dangerous world and the choices that ripples through the rest of her life. 

Tell us more.
Sindale is a city devastated by a ravaging earthquake, pulverizing the lives of many. Separating, and dividing families, changing the reality as they once knew it. Thousands of men, women, and children will forever be affected, but none as gravely as Rayden and Selene.

A couple endlessly in love will struggle with their own battles, one against chaos and madding riots and the other… a nightmarish unearthly realm. 

Splitting the serene city in two by a mysterious confining veil, the boundaries are set and their mortal lives are at stake. What will it take to keep one’s own sanity, humanity, and one’s only love? Or will it be too late? 

Tell us more about the world this story is set in.
The home world of the Manunnaki was devastated by a solar storm that created a polar shift ripping open a dimensional rift and pulling part of this home world into it. The result of this is that the veil realm will cross dimensions with other worlds, i.e. Earth. When it does this it transposes itself over the existing world, but not instantly. The veil realm stays temporarily before it shifts again to another realm.  

What genre is it?
Dystopian, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Romance, Adventure.  Truly, it is a combination of all these.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
Anyone that enjoys reading about new worlds, alien races, struggles to survive and adventure.

Complete this sentence for us: if you like _________________, you’ll love Pine Needles.
War of Worlds.

Tell us more about Selene and Rayden.
Selene is my heroine. A nature lover, intelligent, good hearted but enjoys standing up for her beliefs.  She was extremely content with her life prior to the veil world.

Rayden is engaged to Selene and sees a bright future for them. A hard working builder who wishes nothing more than to settle down with her.

Sirius is the high commander of the Mannunaki. He protects those he is charged over and serves the queen. Definitely the strong silent type.

Have you written any other books that we should read next?
I have the Bound series, which is a witchy romance series. I have also started a gothic vampire romance series as well.  Daylight is the first book in the vampire series. Crescent Bound, Raven Bound, Demon Bound are available now with Shadow Bound and Ice Bound coming out later. And if you like Mermaids, I have a short story about Seducing a Mermaid.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
First off I am an avid reader. I tear through books like I drink my coffee, quickly and often.  Stephen King is an old friend of mine, literature wise, Bag of Bones is my favorite.  I have read all the Paranormal Romance stuff and have now, over the past two years, read many, many Indie authors. So, writing comes from my obsession for a good story. I crave it and want to create it. I write full time.
