Excerpt
This little firebug was pissing him off. Nash Rogan narrowed his eyes at the pink-haired pyromage sitting across from him. She quirked a brow and crossed her legs, revealing a whole lot of sleek, pale thigh. A black combat boot bounced irritably. “What is your name?” Rogan repeated. “Who wants to know?” Her voice was high, clear. Cartoonish. It should not have been sexy. She blew an enormous bubble with her purple chewing gum. It popped. A fake grape scent drifted across the desk. She smiled. Rogan ground his molars. “As I said, my name is Agent Rogan. But we’re talking about you. And how you just set someone on fire.” Pale blue eyes flashed. She leaned forward and stabbed a finger at him. “That asshole put his hands on me. I told him to back off, and he didn’t.” She hesitated. “But I am sorry.” She relaxed deliberately back in her chair. The lines of her body softened, melting into a series of lush curves. She caught her lower lip briefly between her teeth. Lashes fanned high cheekbones. “It won’t happen again.” She was good. “I’m sure.” Rogan studied her. Luminous skin, sharp, dainty features, all that bubblegum pink hair falling to a small waist. Nobody looked good under these harsh overhead lights, but this little mage shone like a damn pearl. “Look, I saw what happened. It was self-defense.” Lucky for her, he’d been walking past that alley at precisely the right moment. He’d heard her protests, saw the guy’s meaty frame cornering her against the brick wall. Right before she’d lit him up like a bonfire. “And you didn’t kill him. He’s badly burned, but he’ll live.” “Great. So, can I go?” Full of remorse, wasn’t she? Rogan looked pointedly at her left wrist. “Where’s your trackband?” She folded her arms. Right. Rogan came around the desk and gently grasped her elbow. Ignoring her spluttered protests and the fact that her skin felt like heated silk beneath his fingers, he steered her firmly out of the interrogation room. Magical Law Enforcement was a hive of activity, even at this hour. Agents bustled back and forth, their royal blue uniforms vivid against the bright white corridor. The glowing blue threads of Vortech security wires ran the length of the walls, pulsing gently. MLE headquarters was famous for its marriage of magic and human tech. Rogan led his little captive past the holding cells, ignoring the catcalls of the junkies and drunks. “You’ll be fitted with a standard-issue MLE trackband registered to your name. If you refuse to provide one, you’ll be registered as Jane Doe.” It had been a while since he’d brought in an unregistered mage, but the script flowed effortlessly. “Should you perform aggressive magic, your trackband will alert authorities, at which time MLE agents will arrive on scene. You will be charged in accordance with the severity of the offense.” He nodded at another agent, who leaped aside as they passed. Near the end of the hall, a glass door labeled Registration came into view. The pyromage spotted it and planted her boots on the shiny white tile, causing Rogan to bump into her tight little backside. He jerked his hips back, gritted his teeth, and pushed her through the door. 1) What genres do you write in and why?
Romance- Contemporary, Paranormal currently but I have sports, western, and some poetry coming up too. I like to write a variety of subgenres so I don’t get bored with one. 2) Describe your writing style I would describe my writing as up close and personal. I prefer first person dual point of views that border on slice of life. I also prefer to write shorter novels, as opposed to longer ones so the action and timelines are pretty tight. 3) What inspires you to write? I initially started writing in college as a way to process trauma and then took a very long break after that. (Almost ten years.) I got to a point in my life again when I needed a creative outlet so I picked up my computer again and started writing as an escape from everyday life. Then, I attended a writing conference and was inspired to try self publishing. 4) Who are your favourite authors? My favourite authors are Kathryn Moon, Lillian Lark, Jim Harrison, Sarah Bailey, and Kennedy Ryan 5) Tell us something unusual about you I work in special education as well as therapeutic horseback riding as my ‘real’ jobs. While I was in highschool I swore up and down I didn’t want to work in education but here I am :D I know, I know, it's barely 2024. But I want to share a new series project that I will be embarking on in 2025 with five other authors. We will be releasing eighteen books and an anthology with a shared world featuring witches. The idea first formed two years ago and we are currently working toward releasing the anthology next January. This will be quickly followed by the books - a trilogy per author. Each author has a witch with a special ability and they each get their own story. This is a world where magic and witches are real as are other supernatural creatures. The public are aware of them, though many think of them like fortune tellers - they either believe or think it is a scam.
I am very excited for the series. My character has the ability to see the future and when she is kidnapped by a vampire, she must decide whether she should help him or lie about her visions. More on this series to come. |
