Well, it’s the second in a series. I waited entirely too long
to release it. But it was time to continue the story of Talis and Dion. I knew
I had to give them something new to face, not just in the sense of an
antagonist, but I needed to delve a little deeper into their relationship.
What can we expect
from you in the future?
More in this series, and more in my original Dragon Hunters
series. But I want to branch out, so there’s a young adult oriented novel
floating around in my head. Could other LGBT romance stories that aren’t in
either series
Do you have any “side
stories” about the characters?
Every character fights with me to tell their story. I have an
idea on what I want to do starting it, and it always changes. People end up
with different mates, people die that I didn’t intend to die or live when I
didn’t want them to. For these characters, Talis and Dion fought me to the end.
Can’t tell too much more without giving away the ending, but there are constant
arguments in my head with characters.
Can you tell us a
little bit about the characters in Sunder?
Talis is the leader of the Coven, which has grown since the
first book. Dion is his husband, a cambion or half demon, and much newer to all
things magical. Teryn is Talis’ sister, really headstrong, also a half demon,
and with Talis she’s awfully catty. Cian is Teryn’s husband, descended from
druids. Everyone has their secrets in the group. Perhaps it’s better to say
flaws.
How did you come up
with the concept and characters for the book?
Again, they were the same main characters as the first book.
But originally, it was my love of all things witchy and magical. The characters
are loosely based off of people I know. Sometimes I pull out their best
qualities, and sometimes their worst.
Where did you come up
with the names in the story?
Name searches on Google, honestly. One of those baby name
sites. It gets really hard after publishing five or six books to come up with
new names on your own.
What did you enjoy
most about writing this book?
There is a lot of humor in this book, and a lot of sex. Going
back through it to look for excerpts was both hilarious and frustrating.
Tell us about your
main characters- what makes them tick?
Talis has a horrible temper that he tries to keep in check.
He’s a bit controlling, but it’s because the others made him the sole leader of
the Coven. Dion is insecure. It’s hard for him to believe that Talis would
really choose to be with him, but also he’s inexperienced, both in the man on
man relationship department and the magical world. He feels like a burden at
times. Teryn can be extremely hard headed, also somewhat controlling but not
willing to take on the responsibilities her brother has. Cian is normally the
level headed one, but has a few blind spots, especially when his wife is
threatened.
How did you come up
with the title of your first novel?
Depends. I came up with the first novel on my own, the Lost
Dragon, in about five minutes. The Coven series has had different people
contribute to the titles.
The
Coven is a special group of witches given charge of the manor on
Genum Island, and Talis is considered the head and strongest of it.
Joined by his sister, Teryn, and her husband, Cian, they protect
their magic based home from the forces of darkness who seek the
mysterious power of their home. It's all routine, until Talis' old
crush shows up with a strong desire to take the head witch for
himself.
Dion
has come to terms with what he wants, and that's Talis. He has a lot
to make up for, but with him comes trouble. Hot on his tail is his
ex-girlfriend, and with her is a demon who has a craving for souls
and a rise to her former glory.
The
Coven has no choice but to stand against the greatest threat they've
ever faced. How far will they go to save a soul?

force older and more powerful than any ever known, threatening not
