1. Using only emojis summarize your book! 🏹 🗡️🧌🐺☀️🌫️🪾🌲🪾❤️‍🩹😭😶‍🌫️💀👄💗
2. Why did you decide on “Veil of Embers” as being your title? It took a while to come up with it. I changed the title at least three times. Embers was important because of the touch of fire and the heritage that is associated with it,
3. Can you tell me a secret about Veil of Embers that no one else knows? A secret would be that my FMC Riona was based on my experiences and upbringing. She was easier to write because she is a part of me.,My kids helped me craft the wolf of the hunt scene in my book- and everyone’s favorite character cat was actually because my oldest son said my main character needed a pet of some kind. And when I searched into the lore about animals cait sith was the perfect fit for a cat and evolved from there
4. Do you remember the exact moment that you knew you wanted to write this story? I knew I wanted to a long time ago. My mother growing up had a fascination/ obsession with Samhain, Druids, Irish lore, ghosts and Halloween. She would always express this dissatisfaction with a series that exclusively dove into her Irish roots, and so I wanted to create a story that she could read and fall in love with hopefully.
5. How did you know that you wanted to write this genre? I didn’t know I wanted to write a specific genre exactly but I love fantasy and I am obsessed with the way with the more darker aspects of it and it just came very natural naturally.

I got those when I was 20 years old (14 years ago now) I also used to be an early childhood teacher, nanny and now a mom. I love poetry and I always knew I wanted to write
