I love your books! What is the best way to support them?

Hearing this question always touches my heart. Beyond simply buying the books, there are three more ways to go the extra mile to support a particular author. First, pre-order their books. High pre-order numbers encourages stores to stock more copies and gives books a higher chance of hitting bestsellers lists. Second, review their books on store websites, such as Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc. (Goodreads is also great, but store websites are top tier!) Third, request that your local library stocks the books.

Will you make the Wilderlore series into a movie or TV show?

As a huge TV nerd, I would love to do this! However, it’s not up to me. If making adaptations were up to authors, of course we would all do that! Because how cool would that be??? The way it truly works is a very long process that normally begins when a producer (aka a fancy Hollywood person/company) discovers the books and then asks the author if they can transform them from paper to screen. So for the time being, I’m staying patient and working hard so that the series finds more and more readers. And dreaming big!

Will you and C. L. Herman write more books in the world of All of Us Villains?

Maybe one day! For now, we’re working on a brand new duology, called A Fate So Cold, which will release in 2025.

Will you write more books in the world of The Shadow Game series?

I don’t see this being in the cards, as the story does feel complete. But never say never!

Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?

As a beginning writer, I would finish writing one book (or tire of it) then immediately jump into a new project. However, writing is rewriting. There’s far more to be learned during revising than drafting. So I advise sharing your manuscript with trusted friends or critique partners and asking for their feedback. Even if publication isn’t something you envision for that project, editing is the best way to learn.
