Answers

What inspired you to write COLLIER? 
When I was five or six, I had a reoccurring dream for several years. Much later I recognized the place I’d dreamed about…India. Growing up in a very small Northern Minnesota town I know it was a place I’d never seen or knew anything about. That experience inspired Phantom Lives.

Where do you come up with the names for your characters in the novels that you have written?
Some I just make up. Some I get from the internet sources, nationality websites or baby name websites. Mostly they just come to me though.

What is your opinion on the matter of “WARNING LABELS”? Do you think children (all ages) should be kept from reading certain books?
Oh, I think age appropriateness is a good thing and up to the parents to decide when a child is ready for certain books.

About the author:
I grew up in a small northern Minnesotan town married my high school sweetheart, had two beautiful children and as soon as we could we moved to a warmer climate. I have worked with my husband building and decorating custom homes for years. 

After loving every kind of vampire book, movie and series since I was a child, I decided that I wanted to know more. I can write a book I thought, how hard could that be? Well...it was not as easy as I thought, but I stuck to it, and finished my first book Royal Blood Chronicles Book One in August 2009. I now have six books in the series and am about to release book two of my new series Phantom Lives. My parents always told me that I could do anything that I wanted, work hard, and do it right. I believe that, and live that every day. 

I started writing this new vampire series for teens and their moms because I wanted something different to read. I was tired of all the modern versions of vampire books, there had to be more to these long-lived beings. Where had they been, what had they seen? I wanted; no I NEEDED to know more, so Royal Blood Chronicles was born! As in Royal Blood Chronicles, Phantom Lives features strong female characters and action and adventure mixed with romance, friendship and a historical backdrop. I hope you enjoy them.
