Book Blurb & Info
Nevaeh and George have lived on the streets as father and daughter since he found her, alone and unconscious, many years ago. When they start a new life employed at Joe's cafe, Nevaeh experiences debilitating visions and frightening apparitions. Adding to the troubling path her life has taken, George suddenly becomes ill and an Animus demon takes his soul hostage in Hell. Unfortunately, the ransom may be more than Nevaeh can afford.
As Nevaeh spirals into this supernatural world, Gavyn—the handsome café-owner—tries to convince her that she belongs to a hidden race of people with God-given gifts known as Celatum, and she may be a key player in the Celestial war. However, even after all the otherworldly events she experiences, Nevaeh continues to deny her part in it all.
Meanwhile, Archard—a stranger she feels undeniably bonded to—mysteriously wanders in and out of her life, offering none of the answers she suspects he holds.
Will Nevaeh attain the faith it requires to fulfill her fate as a Celata and take part in the Celestial fight? Or will she give into the darkness that calls to her for the sake of George's soul and damn herself to Hell?

Author Interview
What inspires your
writing?
I didn’t
find my love of reading until I was around twenty-three years old. A friend
gave me the first novel in the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer and was hooked.
After that, I researched Mrs. Meyer and found that a dream inspired her to
write. I thought, “Hey, I could do that. I have thousands of crazy dreams
locked away in my mind. Why not write a book about one?” I have always
struggled with my spiritual side, not so much doubting my beliefs in God, but more
myself and the “man-made” side of religion. I felt like writing would be a good
way to work some of those inner demons and doubts out.
After years
of learning the craft, and reading new books that opened my mind to the many
worlds I could escape to, I finished my first novel. Now that I’ve nurtured my
mind and soul into that of a writer’s, I don’t see myself any other way. This
is who I am now. Though it’s still hard for me some days, I get a little better
each day.
Have you always wanted to
be an author?
I had no
idea that I would be an author as a child. Reading and writing was something I
was forced to do in school, not something I did for fun. I was more of a visual
arts kind of person, using paint and pencils to express myself, but looking
back now, I know that I just hadn’t found the right book to spark the yearning
in me. Thank God, I did later on!
Who are your favorite
authors?
There are so
many authors that I admire and enjoy, but Leigh Bardugo, Karen Marie Moning,
and Jamie McGuire speak to my soul and inspire me to be a better writer.
What would you say to
someone who is starting out as a writer?
Being a new
writer myself, I would advise those following me to research everything on
writing, publishing, networking they can. Get a good grip on the reality of it
because publishing is an intimidating industry, and if you are not serious
about it, you won’t get far, unfortunately.
Discouragement is an emotion you
will feel often, but I firmly believe that if you are diligent, you can make
it. You may not have a fat wallet in the end, but it’s better to try and fail,
knowing you gave it your best than avoiding the trials of being a writer when
you could have been magical.
Do you ever put any part
of yourself in your characters?
My
characters are very much based on fears and doubts that I have all the time. I
also instill my sarcasm and emotions in them pretty regularly. On the flip side
of that, they represent parts of me that I can’t be, or won’t allow myself to
be, in real life as well.
How old were you when your
first book was published?
My release
day is actually the day before my thirty-third birthday. I set it up as a new
year’s resolution goal, determined to get this damn book published before my
birthday!
What books do you have
out, and what are you planning for future publications?
I currently
only have Falter up for publication, however, Severance, Book 2 in the
Faltering Soul Series is set to release on March 11, 2017. I also have the
beginnings of a stand-alone novel in progress.
What do you hope readers
will take from your books?
I hope they
find enjoyment in my story while considering the uncontrollable circumstances
that drive people to make bad decisions. Life is not black and white, right and
wrong.
What do you do to get
ready to write?
I am very
much a creature that needs a good atmosphere. I mostly write at a fantastic
local coffee shop, listening to rock music, and drinking the writer’s drug of
choice…coffee! I personally don’t plan much when it comes to preparing. I’m
more of a write-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of gal, leaving my outlining to a
time after most of my thoughts are already on the paper.
Do you ever get writer’s
block? What helps you get past it?
I’ve been
fortunate to avoid the dark abyss of writer’s block. If I do happen to be in a
particularly difficult time of finding words, I tend to leave the work for a
few days. Sometimes a little vacation can clarify the tunnel vision. This is
also when the outlining comes in handy. I start going back through the chapters
and summarizing them one by one, focusing on my plot and details. This usually
brings me out of the slump.
What is your favorite
type of book to read? Does that type influence your books?
My favorite
genres are fantasy and romance, and yes, it absolutely influences my own
writing. I love being to get away from reality, to escape to worlds where
anything is possible. As far as writing styles, I gravitate toward authors that
use a lot of descriptive words. I need to play the scenes in my mind like a
movie, which makes me a slower reader, but I enjoy it so much more.

Series Info
Severance
(Book 2 in the Faltering Souls Series)
Releasing March 11, 2017
Tag line: What doesn’t make you evil, makes you stronger.
In Severance, a dark, adult urban fantasy novel from the Faltering Souls series, Nevaeh has to face the overpowering gravity of her choice to save those she loves while striving for strength to fight her greatest threat—herself.
Nevaeh Richards makes her declaration. Living a life in which she has few possessions, she sacrifices the only thing of worth she has to offer—what the Dark One wants the most—all for the slim chance of redeeming the souls of George, the man who raised her, and Gavyn, the Light Celata who holds a piece of her heart.
Her gifts are unfurling now, but so is a fierce, unpredictable beast inside her. While she struggles to keep herself—and the beast—in check, she has to play the part of a Dark Celata and fulfill every wickedly tempting task the evil beings command of her. Each mission she goes on, each time she uses her gifts, the line she toes between the woman she used to be and the monster she reluctantly yearns to become grows thinner.
As Nevaeh deals with her own turmoil, Archard watches the world he's accepted as his own begin to suffer for the mistakes he’s made. The sacred laws which segregate the realms and hinder demons from freely moving among humans are less and less effective with each passing day. He’s failed to keep Nevaeh out of Evil’s clutches, and so the shadows of Hell are creeping through. In an attempt to right his wrongs—and heal the hole in his heart—Archard chases his elusive woman, but every lead that should bring him closer to Nevaeh only ends with more questions about who she is, where she comes from, and how to save her—if he can save her at all.
Will Nevaeh survive the soul-severing decision she’s made?
Will those who love Nevaeh survive her?
