Book Description:
Devastating tragedy puts
14-year-old high school freshman Marla Owens, on a fast-paced journey of
survival, revival and coming of age. Driven by a force she can't begin to
understand and a burning need to find out the truth, she heads toward her
mother’s home in North Dakota. She soon learns more about herself and her
family than she could have ever imagined — her mother was royal heir to the
powerful Skatian throne! And now the Skatian people need her to protect their
world from those who wish to conquer it.
In a classic tale of good versus
evil, set on Earth and beyond, a young girl fights to survive to become a young
woman—and the reluctant queen of Skatia.
Who can she trust? Will she be able to control her own immense abilities
and justified anger to do what’s right? One thing’s for sure: Marla’s not in
Texas anymore!

If you could have any super power what would you
choose?
I’d love to be able to fly. I hate driving,
so being able to fly would be a dream come true.
Tell us your most rewarding experience since
being published.
I’d say the most rewarding experience has
been having people tell me they love and relate to Marla’s story. I love it
when people get my vision for the story and the message!
Please tell us in one sentence, why we should
read your book.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll cheer!
Favorite food?
Carnegie Deli Marble Cheesecake.
What book are you reading now?
Dark Witch by Nora Roberts
What’s your favorite season/weather?
I love fall/autumn. When the heat first
breaks and you can sleep with the windows open and the air is fresh and crisp…
Just love it.
What was your favorite children’s book?
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. It was
the first book my grandmother gave just to me.
Beach or Pool?
What is one book everyone should read?
Besides mine? I’d say Salt: A World History
by Mark Kurlansky. It’s an interesting and entertaining take on history through
the lens of the salt/spice trade.
Any
other books in the works? Goals for future projects?
I’m currently in the process editing two completed
manuscripts. The first is the second novel in YA/Fantasy The Skatia Narratives
series, tentatively titled Amethyst
Rising. I’m hoping to release it later this year. The second is a contemporary
romance – Wrong Time, Wrong Place, and begins a new series call the Queen City
Novels. It should be released sometime in early 2016.
