As a hybrid Author – self-published and published through the query process – mines is a journey filled with its fair share of ups and downs. The excitement of getting to share my stories is a high that outweighs many of the down times. I started with self-publishing an erotica novel under my pen name, Rayven Godchild. Along with a great online and IRL bud, Gwen Gardner, I hopped over into self-publishing young adult novels. Beacon started as another project I considered self-publishing, but I decided to put it through the query process and was thrilled to have it picked up by Evernight Teen.

Story-telling. I get that being an author means writing well, but there’s a certain joy I feel in getting to let my imagination run wild in building a story that makes being an author so wonderful.

That’s a difficult choice, but I would go with Hermione from Harry Potter and we’d eat whatever delectable tasties her wand conjured.

Macie would be Zendaya (from Disney’s KC Undercover)

Thane would be Colton Haynes (from Arrow)

I like them like Eric from True Blood, Blood Hungry yet sexy about it at the same time lol!

I’m fine with the era I’m in, though I wouldn’t mind going back to be an apprentice to Madame CJ Walker.

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Probably a vampire, one with a suffering heart wishing I didn’t have to hurt humans for my survival, but an understanding that the occasional dinner – minus the kill or turning – would be good for my soullessness.

Seated in my bed :-)

I actually would love to try an exciting mystery at some point.
