With a
doting husband and a new job training a vampire military, Lily Drake was living
up to the prophecies of being the best. Her life was seemingly
perfect, until tragedy strikes bringing her a loss she's not sure she can
endure.
The hard-working super mom / vampire slayer, Lily Drake, has just learned problems still exist even after you become immortal.
As everyone knows, even if you find your soul mate, you don't always get a happily-ever-after. Lily may have found temporary happiness being a newlywed, but the honeymoon is over. When she finds her husband going out for late night bites with another woman, Lily has to fight to try and regain what she wants most, love and a happy family.
If Lily thought being a single mom was hard, she’ll find being married can be a bloody mess.

Author Interview:
When did you first realize you wanted to be
a writer?
I’ve
always loved to write. I’m not sure I’d
call myself a “writer” to this day, but I enjoy doing it. I guess always!
How long does it take you to write a book?
I
have to be in the right frame of mind, but once I am, the pages flow. A couple months from when the writing begins,
but the actual story and the ideas may have been coming for months and months.
What do you think makes a great story?
Strong characters that readers can relate to
and root for. I, myself, love some witty
dialogue as well!
What inspired
you to write the book(s)?
My Lily
Drake series came about from what I saw as a need in this genre to write about
a main character that wasn’t eighteen years old, perky and in dire need of a
man to take care of her. Lily is
independent, neurotic at times and sometimes even bitter. She’s someone I can relate to!
How many books have you written? Which is
your favorite?
I’ve got several books going, the Lily
series is the only one complete and published.
I really enjoyed writing books one and two, but so far the third book
I’m working on now is my hands down favorite.
We’ve gotten to that point with Lily’s character where it’s time for her
to shut up or put up, and she’s not a quitter!
What was your
favorite part of the book(s)?
The interaction
between characters. Each of the
characters I’ve created are unusual personalities, they all have their quirks
and sometimes in my own mind, there are some really funny scenarios.
What was the
hardest part to write in the book(s)?
Without a doubt
the scenes between Lily and her son, Keaton.
They weren’t difficult to write, but they were sometimes emotionally
draining. I have a son close to Keaton’s
age and the idea of something happening to him is a really sickening
thought.
What is the name
of your most recent book and if you had to sum it up in 30 or less words, what
would you say?
‘Til Death Do Us
Part – Lily Drake finds out that being married isn’t always happily ever
after. Sometimes it’s more than just
work, it’s a bloody mess.
Do you have a favorite place you love to
write?
Definitely.
All of my writing is from the very unprofessional, dog-ridden comfort of
my own bed.
How hard is it to get published?
I’m a terrible person to ask this. Within a couple weeks of querying my
manuscript I received word from Inkspell Publishing that they wanted the first
Lily Drake book. I understand typically
this is a very difficult process, and I have friends who have written fabulous
books and had so little luck in getting them out there. I was very lucky.
What do your family and friends think about
your books?
Well, they love them, of course! They have to! (At least that’s what they tell
me to my face!)
What do you like to do when you are not
writing?
I love music, listening to music, playing
music, etc. I also enjoy playing
volleyball on a league with my wonderful friends and going canoeing.
Is there an Author that you would really like to
meet?
Robert McCammon. Hopefully he will read this and be intrigued…
Call me, Robert!
Who designed the cover of your book?
The super
fabulous, Najla Qamber
If your book was made into a TV series or Movie,
what actors would you like to see playing your characters?
Lily – Drew Barrymore or Alyson Hanigan
Mathias – Jackson Hurst
Valentine – Rodrigo Santoro
Bero – Ray Stevenson
Rose – Ellen Hollman
Burchard – Tyler Mane
Where can your readers stalk you?
