The ultimate question: why did you start writing? Tell us a little about The Resistance Trilogy.
The Resistance Trilogy is considered a New Adult/Mature YA paranormal romance series. At its heart, it is a story about love, closure, and acceptance, and a young girl’s quest to help a movement known as the Resistance find freedom. It is a high-fantasy series with witches, magic, and vampires.
Yeah, I’m thrilled to have their image for this cover. :) I
looked at so many couples when browsing for a cover couple, and no matter how
many I tried to picture as Jackson and Emma, none compared to Pepe and Stzella.
They just have great chemistry, and it shows. I had the opportunity to meet
them at one of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s signings this summer, and they are just
as beautiful (and sweet!) in person as they are on their covers.
You’re involved in a
lot of humanitarian work. Can you tell us more about that and the Lights ON project?
Yes, thanks for asking! Lights ON is an environmental and
humanitarian advocacy blog I launched in August that focuses on providing
petitions for a variety of causes I’m passionate about to my readers and the
general public. It is also a platform for various fundraisers I run throughout
the year and allows me to raise awareness for those causes. Right now, there is
a fundraiser running for Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, to aid them in
their efforts to stop cruel marine life slaughter and to protect our oceans.

I was inspired to create Lights ON because of my favorite
musician, Brandi Carlile, and her Looking Out Foundation, and the way she uses
her public image to give back in such a personal way. She doesn’t just have her
PR people running around doing all of this for her. She’s directly involved,
very vocal about each cause, and really sees her role as a public figure an
honor. I really admire and respect that and hope to turn Lights ON into a
full-blown foundation someday. I believe it’s our responsibility and a
privilege to take care of our planet and to be a blessing to everyone we meet.
Lights ON is dedicated to doing that and hopefully inspiring others to want to
do the same. I feel that life is a gift and everyone has a role to play.
Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: "For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing."
Ignorance really is our enemy when it comes to improving the world we live in.
What’s your favorite
writing snack?
Hhhhmm, anything chocolate! I’m definitely a chocoholic.
