The Perfect Pawn, the first novella in the Secluded Shores series, releases on September 20.

I love that Danica’s nickname from a certain someone is killer. It feels right for her.

“Getting murdered would get her out of the deal with Pearce. So that was a point in its favor, but otherwise, she wasn’t interested.”

“That was the thing about monsters. Their scariest ability was how well they hid they were one.”

“What makes you different is what makes you valuable.” <3

“I’m not a politician looking to win votes…” — Sir, no one believes you.

“Earlier this week, I found a young girl in an abandoned mall, trying to survive on her own. She had nothing, but her will to live was strong. And I promised her I would do everything in my power to make sure she would never go back to a life of surviving on her own.” — Imagining a real life politician doing this makes my head hurt want to explode.

“The image of an Abercrombie and Fitch look-a-like model floating in the water was indeed funny to her.“ — To me too.

Who will be the first to recognize the reference behind chapter ten’s title?

“Tenille was even strangely nice and gave Danica a bottle of conditioner to use on her way out.” — Tenille Maddox is never nice for no reason. She was a blast to write for in this first book and I look forward to writing more for her.
