Frequently asked questions

Would you like to read my soon-to-be-published novel and endorse it?

Please send all endorsement requests to my agent, Holly Root, at Root Literary. I’m not the right fit for books with graphic intimacy, S.A., or child trafficking.

Are your books connected, or can they be read as standalones?

The Defiance series is a trilogy and must be read in order. The Ravenspire series (The Shadow Queen, The Wish Granter, The Traitor Prince, & The Blood Spell) can be read in any order. Rise of the Vicious Princess and Return of the Vengeful Queen are a duology and must be read in order. 

Can you help me publish my book?

I’m not a publisher and not an agent, so I can’t help in that way. However, I do run The Writer’s Sanctuary with my bff bestselling author Mary Weber, and we have so many resources available to writers!

I have a lot of publishing questions. Can I send them to you?

Unfortunately, my busy schedule doesn’t leave me much time to answer publishing questions. However, The Writer’s Sanctuary has plenty of valuable resources for you, and Google will also help give answers to a lot of basic publishing questions.

Can I send my finished manuscript to you so you can tell me what you think of it?

I do not accept unsolicited manuscripts. I do, however, offer editing services via The Writer’s Sanctuary, and you are welcome to contact me through them.

How can I get a signed copy of your books?

Reach out to my local indie, Back Again Bookshop, and let them know what titles you’d like to order and if you want them signed to you or simply signed. They will let me know to stop by and sign the books.

Can you send me free books if I promise to review them?

I can’t honor those requests, but I am a huge supporter of libraries, which offer paperback and ebook copies. If you are an established book reviewer, you can also approach my publisher before a book’s release and request a review copy.

Will you send me swag or signed bookplates?

Because postage is expensive, I have to say no. I do, however, bring plenty of goodies to give away at events, so I hope to see you at one!

Can I invite you to speak at an event or podcast?

Yes! I offer keynotes, workshops, and panel appearances, and am also happy to do virtual interviews for podcasts. Send me the details (dates, time, topic, fees), and I’ll let you know if I’m available.
