Is there anything that makes Intoxicated special to you?
Dylan and Nixon’s relationship. It’s unorthodox but works for them. The point of it all is that no two relationships look the same, and as long as it works for you, that’s all that matters.
How long did it take you to write Intoxicated?
I want to say maybe a little under a year. Writing has been a bit of a struggle for me recently, so putting my thoughts together and determining how I wanted their story to flow took some time.
What made you title the book Intoxicated?
Each book in the series has a word title that relates to the characters' feelings for one another. For example, Casimir was filled with a compulsion to pursue Artemis, and Nixon was intoxicated by Dylan the moment they met.
What’s the most surprising thing you have learned about yourself while writing books?
I’m surprised at how I have the ability to make a reader fall in love with fictional people enough to become emotionally attached to them.
What is your favorite part about being a writer??
I thoroughly enjoy creating fictional characters and places that feel real. Writing allows me the opportunity to put my imagination on paper.
I know Beast is a favorite, but do you have any others that you consider also a favorite?
Compulsive will always be at the top of my list.
Who are some of your favorite authors that you like to read?
It depends on my reading mood, but the first two that come to mind are Christina C Jones and Desiree Granger.
How do you unwind when you are not writing?
I mainly play the Sims or binge-watch whatever show has my attention at the moment.
