On her 25th birthday, strange and unexplainable things are happening to simple coffee shop owner, Deandra Sullivan…or rather, she’s making the strange and unexplainable happen around her. Deandra is scared, confused, and feeling completely alone until she meets mysterious Donovan Walters, who carries a secret that is the same as hers
…they are Witches.
While Donovan takes Deandra under his wing (and into his bed) to teach her about who and what she is, they discover an unavoidable tether between them. Along the way, something is tugging at Deandra’s instincts that danger is coming, and she and Donovan are tasked to find, recruit, and protect other Witches like herself.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW
At what point in your life did you realize that you wanted to be a writer?
I’ve
always enjoyed writing, but I started writing seriously when I found out I was
pregnant. I wanted to document everything about my experience and it ended up
growing into a big beast after a while. My style had always mostly been satirical
and funny. I found I was pretty good at telling short stories, so I wanted to try for a
longer one and one that wasn’t a comedy.
Who is your favorite character in Soldiers of the Craft? And why?
I love
Farrell…he’s an a**hole and yet I know, as a reader, there’s something mysterious
and possibly wonderful about him that hasn’t yet been discovered or revealed.
In Soldiers of the Craft, the main character Deandra is a witch. If you could cast any
spell, what would it be/do?
I would want to fly, for sure.
Where did you get the idea to write Soldiers of the Craft?
I was sleeping and had a
dream that I was with a group of friends running a way from something that was
chasing us in a cemetery at night. We couldn’t get out until I grabbed the iron bars
and they disintegrated…I woke up and thought, “Wouldn’t that be awesome?!”
If Soldiers of the Craft gets made into a movie, who would you like to see play
Deandra and Donovan?
When I originally pictured Donovan, it was Paul Walker.
Deandra was Jennifer Connely.
Where are we most likely to find you writing?
You’ll most likely find me in a local
coffee shop with my ear buds in, sipping on a salted caramel mocha.
What’s the most discouraging thing that happened while trying to write/publish,
and how did you get over it?
The most discouraging thing that happened while
going through the writing/publishing process was realizing how LONG I’d made my
book and how much fat I needed to trim. I personally edited it at least 20 times
before handing it over to my editor to clean up from there.
Any advice for aspiring writers?
Don’t force it. If it is a story you want to
read…write it.
What’s your favorite book?
The Harry Potter series
Who’s your favorite author?
J.K. Rowling and Stephen King
Do you listen to music while writing, or do you need silence?
Have to have music
playing and I love “Blood Stream” on Pandora. It’s my favorite station when
writing.
What do you like to do when not writing?
I enjoy getting out and hanging with my
daughter, my boyfriend, my friends and family.
What’s your favorite dinner…..and dessert?
Love Sauerbraten with spatzle for
dinner and salted caramel gelato for dessert.
If you had to pick one movie or tv show to watch for the rest of your life, what
would it be?
Hands down…Harry Potter series.
If you could spend a day with any one person from the past, who would it be?
My
grandma Virginia.
