I love to read all genres, but I write young adult thrillers. My new release, coming 10/10, Generation Annihilation, is a thriller with horror elements. Who likes novels that are dark and suspenseful? #YAauthorTakeover #GenerationAnnihilation #thrillerbooks pic.twitter.com/8peISfwgvG

I published my first novel over ten years ago, so I’ve learned a thing or two about writing. I’m happy to answer any questions! Anyone out there want to be an author? #YAauthorTakeover #GenerationAnnihilation #books #amreading

I didn’t publish the first novel I wrote, but used it to teach myself how to write a full length novel. Did you know that traditional romance novels follow a sort-of formula? This helped me learn how to write a story. #YAauthorTakeover #GenerationAnnihilation #ya #books

The hardest part of writing for me is putting myself and my book ‘out there’. I’m an introvert, and socially anxious. Not crawling into a hole can be a challenge for me. Anyone else? #YAauthorTakeover #GenerationAnnihilation #books #read

The setting for all my novels is West Virginia, where I was born and raised. Appalachia is full of inspiration. Any fellow West Virginians out there? What setting would you choose for your novel?#YAauthorTakeover #GenerationAnnihilation #WestVirginia #thrillerauthor

I love my writing companion. Meet Leonard, my 4 mth old Frenchie. I’m definitely an animal lover, and often incorporate animals into my novels. In A Life, Redefined, Rowan Slone had two pets: Scout and Levi. Show me a pic of your pets. #YAauthorTakeover #GenerationAnnihilation pic.twitter.com/GH8o46v74h

I love when the setting of novel is almost a character within itself. Generation Annihilation’s setting is inspired by an actual lunatic asylum that’s rumored to be haunted. Can you guess which famous place it is? #YAauthorTakeover #GenerationAnnihilation #ya pic.twitter.com/RR0hchTgMo

I’ve always wanted to be a writer, but was discouraged over how hard it was to be successful. To make ends meet, I went to grad school for an MSW and still work as a therapist. #YAauthorTakeover #GenerationAnnihilation #ya #thrillerbooks #read

Being an author isn’t for the faint of heart. You have to be able to handle rejection and less than ideal reviews. Resilience is key as is perseverance. Solid life lessons, don’t you think?#YAauthorTakeover #GenerationAnnihilation #authorlife pic.twitter.com/jwHK3c6WAA
