Author of the Call Me Grim Series
1.) You and a friend are walking down a dark alley. You hear strange noises. Do you walk ahead and check things out, or send your friend instead?
I wouldn’t particularly want to, but I’d probably be the one to walk ahead and check things out. I’m crazy like that.
2.) What's your Halloween costume back up, the one that's always waiting in your drawer or closet?
I have a 20’s Flapper costume in my closet. It’s probably too small for me nowadays, but it used to be my go-to costume for surprise Halloween parties.

Call Me Grim
The truck should have turned Libbi Piper into a Libbi Pancake—and it would have, too, if Aaron hadn't shown up and saved her life. The problem? Aaron's the local Grim Reaper . . . and he only saved Libbi's life because he needs someone to take over his job. Now, Libbi has two days to choose between dying like she was supposed to, or living a lonely life as Death Incarnate. Talk about a rock and a hard place. And the choice goes from hard to sucktastic when her best friend shows up marked: condemned as a future murderer. Libbi could have an extra week to stop the murder and fix the mark . . . but only if she accepts Aaron's job as Reaper, trapping herself in her crappy town forever, invisible and inaudible to everyone except the newly dead. But, if she refuses? Her best friend is headed straight for Hell.
November 2015 release!

Oh, send the friend!! If she gets eaten I’ll know to run the other way!
2.) What's your Halloween costume back up, the one that's always waiting in your drawer or closet?
I don’t dress up so … does frizzy hair count? It’s kinda scary!

CASTLE OF SIGHS (Sequel to FOREST OF WHISPERS)
Young Adult Fiction - Historical Fantasy

Book Summary:
Some secrets cannot be kept--in life or in death.
Months have passed since Rune has heard a single whisper from her long-dead mother, the great witch of Bavaria. But the absence of one evil has only made room for another. After rightfully inheriting her ancestral home, Pyrmont Castle, Rune settles into a quiet life taking care of two orphans left in the wake of the terrible witch hunt that claimed dozens of lives in the nearby village. As the days grow colder, the castle’s secrets beckon, and something darker seems to have been awakened, as well.
Rune finds herself roaming where no one has set foot in a long time. In the bowels of the fortress is a locked room full of memories that hang like cobwebs--shelves stacked with jars, strange specimens, putrid liquids, and scrolls of spells. Rune is undeniably drawn to what she finds there, and she begins to dabble in the possibilities of magic, hoping she will find a cure for the strangeness overwhelming the castle.
And the key may lie in the dark forest she once called home and the boy she thought she knew.
