Tell us a bit about your most recent work.

I've started a new series in my story universe, the Orana Chronicles. This is a trilogy (at this point) of novellas that dive a bit deeper into some of the characters from the previous novels. The first one is The Wizard's Bond and it is the backstory of the villain from the Nature Walker Trilogy, Taeben. He gets to share why he became what he became and where he is headed next. I'm bad about spoilers so that's all I can say. This fits in between Darkness (first in the Guardians of Orana series) and Red (second in that series). It is out July 1st. 

What are the themes and subjects you tend to revisit in your work?

I have strong female characters who stop waiting for someone to save them. I have strong found family vibes. Also, in my other life I am a sign language interpreter, so language and how it influences characters and plot fascinates me.
