Hi Jen! Thank you so much for reading the series, I'm so glad you liked my Hell Hounds! The next trilogy will be LUCIFER'S! *shoots off fireworks!* It'll be out in 2020, and will wrap up the major story arc. I'm editing it now, and just like I did with the first two trilogies, all three books in this trilogy will be released on the same day too, so NO WAITING!! *happy dance* Have a great day!!! :)

Hi Isis!! Unfortunately my Hell Hounds series is not available in other languages YET, but I hope that will change. I'm looking into what it takes to have them translated. :)

I'd go to Hogwarts. At first I considered Middle Earth and having second breakfast, or to Dublin when the walls were crumbling so I could help the Nine out, or maybe I'd go to Caldwell and visit the mansion. Orrrr, I could go to Pemberley and have tea with my buds Lizzy and Darcy. But nope. If I could go someplace, it would be Hogwarts. I want to stretch out in front of that big ol' fireplace in the Gryffindor's common room and read the stuff from the restricted section. I'd also brush up on my Dark Arts and bring all the socks I own for the house elves who still need some. Annnnd I'd blow all my money in Diagon Alley and drink my weight in Butterbeer.
Excuse me while I go pack and get ready for this epic adventure...
*Goes to pack bags and heads to Platform 9 3/4 with my Hogwarts Express ticket and a chocolate frog*

This story has been written in my head for so long, all I had to do was close my eyes, put my fingers on the keyboard and start typing.
Once I got going, it was like opening up another universe that was just waiting for me to have to guts to write it all down. The stuff just poured out and I literally sat in front of the computer for 16 hours each day, endlessly typing and living it all in my head.
That was all it took for me to fall in love with my characters and begin to dream up a story for each one.

Play with my kids, go for a walk, read a book, or listen to music. Every single one of those things clears my mind and inspires me.

The power of it all. The freedom. The hidden reality.
A work of fiction is an amazing thing. Somewhere, in between the lines, there's truth hidden inside, which makes it so darn cool.
Plus, as a writer you can create and destroy whole worlds. You can give life to new creatures and make magic happen.
Best of all, you have the opportunity to let all those imaginary people in your head come to life. You get to introduce them to the world, and hopefully, someone else out there will love them the same way you do.
Words can make you feel things, think things, and want to be something else. Who wouldn't like going from feeling ordinary to extraordinary?

Just go for it. Write just to write. Make yourself happy, if you can't make yourself happy, you can't possible expect someone else to do it. Happiness comes from within, and if writing a poem, song, story, or blog is what puts a smile on your face, then get to it!
Write what you want to write, not what you think others will want to read. It's more genuine that way and will ultimately be way more interesting.

Right now I am finishing up my second book in the Sins of the Sidhe series, titled "Shine" and enjoying every bit of it!
I am also piecing together the storylines for books 3 and 4 in the series.
I've been a busy bee!

A lot of things inspire me to write, including other books, pictures, quotes and people. All I have to do is open my eyes and look around, I'll find a hidden story that needs telling.
