In order to save herself and the abused children she works with, she will have to team up with Dr. Kade Nevala, a member of the shifter tribe responsible for eradicating weresnakes—and the most attractive man Lindi’s ever met.

Excerpt

He took a step forward, again seeming to loom over me. I leaned farther back, but I was trapped—I would either have to climb up on the bed or push my way past him. I wasn’t sure which would be better.

Then it was too late—he grabbed my upper arms and stared into my eyes. His hands burned hot against my skin. His eyes, too, glittered feverishly, golden highlights churning through the brown.

The intensity of his stare captured me. I drew in another breath, full of the scent of him, and my head swam. Again the color leached out of the room. This time, though, I couldn’t look away from him, couldn’t hide the way my eyes changed, the pupils narrowing and lengthening. The room shifted into shades of gray, and his golden eyes turned silvery as they held my own.

He inhaled sharply as he saw the transformation and his hands tightened convulsively.

“How are you here?” he whispered, shaking his head.

He pulled me closer to him, staring into my eyes. My pulse pounded in my temples. The muscles of my abdomen started to roil; I was about to shift, and I couldn’t control it.

And I might just be okay with that, some quiet, still part of my mind whispered from far away, because this man terrified me. I might have a better chance against him in my serpent form.

But something—some instinct deeper than thought—urged me to maintain my humanity.

I still couldn’t break eye contact; his gaze was hypnotic.

He leaned in and kissed me.

 Author Interview

Where do you dream of traveling to and why?

Alaska. Like the main character in Sugar Scars, I like to be alone. I love the idea of a beautiful, vast, empty wilderness. I would love to just explore the land.

Of course I’m not much of an outdoorsman, so I’d probably get eaten by something else that was also trying to enjoy the solitude.

What do you think makes a good story?

A story without clear heroes and villains. Where you can understand the perspective and motivations of each character. Where you can see why each character does what they do, even if you think what they’re doing is wrong.

Tell us about your family.

I have an awesome wife and five children. Two girls and three boys, ages from six to seventeen. We adopted one of our sons from Kazakhstan.

We had another girl that was in our home until she was nearly four. We adopted her, but there was a legal battle and the adoption was voided. In my heart she’ll always be my daughter and every time I have to say that I have five kids, instead of six, it stings a little.

What are your favorite TV shows?

I don’t watch many shows, but my family always takes time for Survivor. Of all the reality shows they understand that it’s really about finding interesting people. The producers find a way to weave a story. It’s not the whole story. People are often misrepresented. But they find a way to make a consistent narrative instead of just filming stuff and presenting a timeline.

I love Doctor Who. My kids introduced me to it. At first I thought it was too weird, but then I got into it. I particularly like the long story arcs.

My favorite new show is Daredevil on Netflix. They are handling the characters wonderfully. Even the villain is a sympathetic character.

What are you passionate about these days?

Caring for abandoned children. My wife and I have done foster care and also adopted. This theme shows up continually in my writing, even though I don’t always consciously intend it to. The heart of real morality is caring for those who can’t repay you.

Do your friends think you are an introvert or an extravert? Why?

I am the king of all introverts. It’s not that I don’t like people. Being around people drains my batteries. I charge back up when I’m alone.

A perfect work day for me is to work on a problem and not speak to anyone. Then when I get home I’m eager to spend some time with my wife and kids. If I have to spend the whole day talking with people, then I want to be by myself when I get away from work.

Of course, when you’re a husband and a father, you don’t always get to have it the way you want. Sometimes they need to charge their batteries by being with me. I understand and can adapt pretty well.

You just won a huge lottery what is the first thing you’ll buy?

A larger house. My wife and I have five kids in a 1,900 square foot house. I make a decent income and most people would expect us to live in a larger place, but we decided to spend our money on adopting some of our children (which is extremely expensive). We’re happy where we are and keep putting money into other things, but if I win the lottery, we’re going to get a little more leg room.

Is there a piece of advice that you have received that has really stuck with you? If so, what was it?

Always have an ending in mind for a story. You can’t just start writing and hope it works out. We’ve all read books that started great and ended poorly. With each of my books, I always have an ending that I’m advancing toward. I think of a lot of things as  I write, but everything is always progressing towards a satisfying ending.

Enchanted Revenge will appeal to fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Julie Kagawa.

 

 Author Interview

1.Who is your favorite author?

I love a LOT of authors. For different reasons each. But probably my favorite, if I really had to choose only one, would be Jennifer L Armentrout. Because, not only does she write AWESOME books, but she write for different age groups (YA, NA, and Adult) and she write in different genres (Romance, Paranormal, Fantasy, Contemporary) But she writes FAST. So, as a reader she’s awesome, because she puts out a LOT of GREAT books, but as a writer, she’s an inspiration.

2.What books have most influenced your life?

So, when I was 12-14 years old, I spent as much time as possible in the library. I would check out like 10 books and read them all in a matter of days. (There’s also a cemetery RIGHT next to our library, and I would totally go read in the library like a weirdo.) BUT- as I grew up, I stopped reading. I didnt read for a long time- unless I had to. When I was in my senior English class, and I had to read 1984- it was the first time in years that I enjoyed reading again. I enjoyed it so much, that I began reading again- a lot. It creeped me out, and still does. Like- that’s a horror book to me.

Some runner ups- Twilight- because it made me want to WRITE. And the Trylle series, because it led me to Self-publish my first book.

3.What are your favorite TV shows?

Ready? I have a few.

Supernatural!!! Buffy! The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Charmed, Angel, TVD, The Originals, True Blood, Dollhouse, and Roswell. Off the top of my head anyways.

4.Do you have any special routines or rituals?

When I write, I have to listen to music. BUT it has to be music thats not jumpy, or that makes you want to dance, or belt out a ballad. I listen to electronica/dubstep a lot when I write. Or the Pandora station- Classical goes pop. I listen a lot to Muse, or the XX. It’s a must.

5.If you could apologize to someone in your past, who would it be?

This is a serious, deep question. Normally, I regret NOTHING about my past. because my past, and my mistakes/failures/accomplishments/everything makes me who I am today. And I like who I am.

BUT- I would apologize to my eldest child’s father- who died earlier this year. I would tell him sorry that I hated him for so long. Sorry that I never forgave him.

And just a note- forgive people. Not for them, necessarily, or because they deserve or not to be forgiven. But for yourself. Because everyone dies. And you never know when it’ll happen. Forgive people for yourself to heal.

6.What makes you happy?

My kids. My family. Reading a great book. Writing. Christmas songs and the NEED to wear a jacket. Halloween decorations and costumes. The smell of rain. Reading outside, while its raining, and cold, with Christmas songs playing.

Author Interview

Who is your favorite author? I love JR Ward’s writing. I love her stories. I am very weird about choosing favorites because what I like changes faster than SE TZ weather, but just choosing one, it’s her. Mostly because I’d love to meet her and spend a day picking her brain. She weaves so much detail and so much backstory into each character, that they seem alive to me. She’s just really talented.

What was the scariest moment of your life? I was riding down the freeway with a friend of mine back in ‘94, I’d just gotten married and my friend was 8 months pregnant, so it was a very exciting time for both of us in our lives. She was driving her little Honda Accord on the inside lane and there were cars all around us and we were behind an old beat up van that I couldn’t see around. All of a sudden that van whipped over into the other lane, and almost got rear ended by the car next to us, but the thing that scared me most was this huge boat of a brown car, that was just about to hit us head on. It was an old man who had gotten on the Freeway from an exit ramp and was going the wrong way. He hit us head-on before we had time to think or blink. I came out without a scratch, but my friend broke a toe and went into early labor, which they later got under control. We were both very lucky.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I always wanted to be an artist, and create things. I do lots of different types of arts and crafts and I am glad that I have the opportunity to create art with words.

What are your favorite TV shows? I have several. I love The Originals, The Vampire Diaries, Face-Off, Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, Salem, Bates Motel, and Mysteries at the Museum.

What do you do to unwind and relax? I love to create things. I love to get my hands into paint, glue, ink and transform a canvas. I also love being out in nature and I love taking my camera to the beach, lake, or woods and snapping pictures, collecting leaves, sticks, rocks, shells or anything else I find interesting. Returning to nature grounds me and revives me.

Do you have a favorite quote, quip, or saying? What is it? I do, it’s a fun one. “Be who you are, and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” ~Dr. Seuss. I love that quote and I feel that people should express themselves, whether it’s through fashion, art or music. I just think it’s important to let your creativity flow and not care about who gets it or likes it. The people who matter will love you for it or in spite of it.

  

 

Author Interview

Who is your favorite author? Right now, my favorite author is Marissa Meyer. She’s an amazing writer. I always look forward to each book she releases.

What books have most influenced your life? Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore, Girl Talk by Julianna Baggott and Kissing the Witch by Emma Donoghue.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? For the longest time I wanted to be an architect and then I changed my mind to teacher. But I ended up working at a bookstore and a library for the majority of my adult life. I’ve always wanted to be surrounded by books. Still do.  

What are your favorite TV shows? Once Upon a Time and 30 Rock. I love anything that involves fairy tales and I also love Tina Fey…she’s hilarious.

What songs are most played on your Ipod? Anything by Mumford and Sons and Imogen Heap. They’re music speaks directly to my soul.

What one word best describes you? Creative.

Do you have any special routines or rituals? Not really. I thrive in chaos. I swear, if you spent the day with me you would be amazed at how I’m able to do anything in my life. I do like to write the old fashioned way, pen and paper. I love being able to take my notebook with me everywhere I go and being able to work on my story any moment I have a free minute.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you? That I collect dolls, mostly Monster High and Ever After High dolls. I blame my best friend Kristen. She’s the one that got me started with my collection.

I was twelve years old when I met him. I guess you could say opposites attract. We didn’t know it then. Or maybe we did, but we didn’t care. It’s not easy growing up in Los Angeles. Well, for me it was. But, not for him.

I’m a Hollywood girl born and raised in the business.

I have everything I’ve ever needed 

and only wanted him.

Is it possible to find your forever love when you’re thirteen? Maybe not for most, but I did.

I’m just a boy raised in the pits of Los Angeles.

I have nothing

and only ever wanted her.

Worlds apart

Miles away

It would only be her

It would only be him

Labels never defined us

But will they tear us apart

“One of my FAVORITE reads of the year and I don’t say that lightly. I love how this story begins at the “beginning” and we follow it all the way through in realistic and thought provoking way. The characters are easy to fall in love it. And yeah…” ~ My Book Boyfriend

“I am blown away this is Danielle’s first book, she absolutely has an amazing talent and I feel privileged that I got to experience it. The emotions and the “feels” she brought out of me was extraordinary!” ~ Sugar Shack Book Blog

“I’m completely in AWE over the raw emotions these characters bring out in me. I’m not one to read YA Romances very often, but boy what I’ve been missing in a truly mesmerizing fairytale of love.. ” ~ Goodreads Reviewer

I glance at him while twisting my lip up in amusement.”She’s the only one that makes me that way.” He rolls his eyes at me, pushing me toward the girl that makes my hear beat. I can feel it the closer I get to her. As our eyes lock, she stands up and starts walking toward me. She looks so damn pretty. Long, dark, wavy hair, bright blue eyes, and the prettiest smile I’ve ever seen wraps her arms around me. It’s comfort, it’s familiar, and it’s the best fucking feeling in the world.

It’s home.

Her embrace is all I need. Even over the smell of the fire, her intoxicating scent is around me, invading me to the point of surrender. 

I don’t want to let go of her…

I could try to think of a bunch of exciting things to say about myself, but really I’m just a Mom who has stayed home raising my four fabulous kids. How did I become a writer? Well, when you have a house full of teenagers and all their friends at the house all day, you find plenty of inspiration. I’m married to my junior high school love, who still swoons me just as much as when we were fourteen years old. I love to laugh, swoon, daydream, and watch scary movies. Spending time with my family and friends is my idea of a perfect day and getting lost in a book is part of my bliss. My debut novel Labeled Love is just the beginning of my writing journey. Happy reading!
