BBB: What’s the funniest thing that has happened to you while writing a book?

EH: Well, it’s generally not a funny process satisfying, but hard work. It is kind of funny to write steamy sex scenes in public places, though. Years ago I was writing one of the books in my Shadowfae series on my laptop on the train on the way to my boring day job, and my sexy dark fantasy Read More »

When thinking of YA books that have been turned into movies, the obvious the first thoughts are usually Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, or perhaps the recent Divergent – all of which are series that are packed with action and adventure. One doesn’t necessarily think of a touching dark comedy about a pair of teenagers who meet in a cancer support group when they imagine the next great YA success, and they certainly wouldn’t register a film like that as a “must see” summer movie for most of us. However, Read More »

I’m very pleased to be here on Bitten By Books to celebrate the release of Unforgiven, book 2 in my Forbidden Bond Series! I had no idea when I started writing four years ago that I might actually have something worth reading. Let me tell you how I got started down the road that led me to release day.

It was my daughter’s 17th birthday and I was giving her a lecture on life. I told her she could do anything she wanted to do and be anyone she wanted to be, if only she was willing to work for it. Up Read More »

Kalisto’s Crystal Palace and Raphael Sinclair’s Wish

I’ve always loved greenhouses and snow globes. At first blush, they seem like disparate creatures.
Greenhouses are huge buildings made for growing things. Their walls are made of glass but their boundary is permeable. Traversable. You can go in. You can go out. They have fresh air. They contain things that are both stationary and fixed, but they’re also alive.

Dying and Murder are overrated. Writing about them is not.

That’s what I used to think anyway. Until my first publishing contract with Midnight Ink last year. Then, holy-crap on a popsicle stick, I got a lesson in being an author!

See, it started with Dying to Know, my fourth book and first to be published. Dying to Know is a murder mystery with a paranormal twist—the story about Oliver Tucker, a fun-loving, wife-loving, take-the-world-by-the-horns homicide cop in my small home town of Virginia. Tuck is murdered in his own home and his world turns, well, weird. He returns to solve his own murder—Detective solve thyself! His biggest challenges are learning to be back Read More »

Editor’s Note: Welcome to the final installment in the “What is Urban Fantasy? series of guest blogs. Stay tuned for our next series “Defining Steampunk” coming in June.

Many writers offer the advice to “Write what you know.” Let’s be honest. The real world we know and live in is boring. We see it every day, and all too rarely does it ever change. This simple fact is what makes urban fantasy so exciting.
