Synopsis
Myah
My life literally changed in the blink of an eye. I was happy, I was whole… and then my father died. Since then I haven’t been the same. I’ve been battling inner demons as well as the ones on the outside–my mother the evilest of them all. It’s time to take control of my life and Kyle Cooper makes me believe that I can.
Kyle
I’ve been half in love with Myah Wilks for as long as I can remember. She’s short and sassy–or she was until tragedy struck. Changes in her life left an opening for me, the one I’ve been waiting for and I’m jumping–with both feet. This amazing girl has more fight in her pinky than most people do in their whole body… she just needs to be reminded. She also needs to purge those demons and let her secrets go. Maybe, just maybe, she’ll let me in and trust me with her whispered truths.

Kyle
And, damn, she’s got so many damn secrets. I can see them lurking beneath the surface but she has them locked up tight. It’s going to take time to get her to open up enough to share them… if she ever does. Hell, it’s going to take a long damn time until I can let her know how I feel, how I’ve always felt. I don’t want to scare her away.
At least we’re getting a little closer. She’s feeling more comfortable around me. In all the years we’ve hung out in our group, especially the last three with Lisa and Luc dating, she’s always kept me at a distance. At first I thought it was because I had girlfriends, but even when I was single she didn’t let me in. In truth, I’m jealous as fuck over her friendship with Stewie. They’re almost as close as she and Lisa are.
The jealousy clawed at my chest Wednesday night with a viciousness I’d never experienced before, and all because Stewie was touching her. It wasn’t sexual by any means and his innuendos and flirting were harmless. He isn’t into her like that, at least not anymore, not like I thought he was. At least I don’t think so. Damn it.
His parents are just as fucked up as Myah’s mom. They trust and rely on one another and I know for a fact he doesn’t want to ever fuck that up. Besides that, he thinks of Myah as more of a sister—well maybe not. Maybe it is more for him. He is her protector, her confidant, and it pisses me the hell off. I want that job. Maybe in time. I’ll have to keep it slow and steady and not push or pressure her in any way, or I’m afraid she’ll book it the hell out of my life and it’ll all be fucked.
Do you have any tricks you use to get into the mood to write or do you simply sit down and roll with it?
I usually get my laptop set up, have a cup of coffee by my side, turn on my Spotify playlist, and start writing.
Where do you get inspiration for your characters and plot lines?
Mostly my inspiration comes from reading, music, and dreams. I have to read in order to keep my imagination and creativity flowing. I also depend a lot on music and my Spotify playlists. I generally make new playlists for each book or series and listen while I’m writing. Storyline inspiration–mostly they just pop in my head, but with the Rockstar series it was inspired by Milo Ventimiglia, Matt Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold, and Avenged Sevenfold.
How old were you when you started writing?
I think I was around 10 or 11–in 5th grade–when I wrote my first short story.
If you could collaborate with any famous author, who would it be and why?
Nora Roberts. She’s a huge inspiration to me as a writer and I would love to know her creative process and see what we could create as a team. That would ROCK!
If you could spend a day with any fictional character, which one would it be and why?
In my books, Xander. In other books, Logan Kade from the Fallen Crest series by Tijan.
Favorite band/musician?
Um hello! Avenged Sevenfold !!!
Favorite city you’ve visited so far?
Los Angeles! There is always something going on.
A city that you’d like to visit?
New York
Favorite food?
Fruit, fruit, and more fruit. Gimme fruit 🙂
If you had to pick one city to be lost in for the rest of your life, which one would it be?
Los Angeles I could get super lost in LA and I’m sure there’d never be a dull moment.

I was born and raised in Wisconsin and still live here today with my two sons and puppy. (Though one day soon I hope to move to southern California!)
I’m an avid reader who gets inspired by reading the stories from my favorite authors as well as listening to various types of music. I am a huge fan of music, chocolate, fruit, desserts, autumn, M. Shadows, Avenged Sevenfold, and Milo Ventimiglia. Through my books, I am proudly creating new Avenged Sevenfold and Milo Ventimiglia fans one reader at a time.
I absolutely love interacting with readers and invite you to contact me any time via email: [email protected].
“The best part of being an author, to me, is being able to take the reader to that one place they long to go when they need to escape reality. Knowing I can do that, for even one reader, makes what I do worthwhile.” ~ Anne Mercier
