2. Have you always wanted to be an author? Yes since I was little I was always writing short stories and plays for my friends and I to act out. I love reading and always had my face buried in a book. Every time I read them I'd think I would've done this instead of that..ect my mind was always re working the story in my head. I wanted so badly to see my own book in print once I learned about self publishing I took a chance and so glad I did. I wish I would've known all I know now but it is a learning processes and with each book i write I feel I grow even more as a writer. I hope that forever I am always growing and learning with every book I write.

4. What would you say to someone who is just starting out as a writer?-Ohh so much! First build a fanbase by showing how much you appreciate your fans. DO NOT EVER take a reader for granted. Secondly build good relationships with follow authors. Don't ever add an author then immediately just jump into I wrote a book can u read, share..ect especially if you'd never read our work yourself. Good eye catching covers and editors are a big part of books success. You want something that if shared on Facebook or Twitter..ect someone sees it it'll make them say OMG I NEED to get this book.

"Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today."

Everything I ever learned about fairy-tales was a fucking lie…

Four years ago, my life was everything I wanted it to be: I had everything I wanted, everything I needed, in my best friend and newly wedded husband—Tyler.

Yet, hours after we said "I do," I lost him.

Forever...

The dreams we'd shared, the future we'd planned—all of our hopes and desires, were ripped away in mere seconds.

And now, four years later, my life still feels like a hopeless eternity.

So, I guess it's quite fitting that the last person I want to hear from is currently standing at my front door.

He wants to tell me the truth about that night, he wants to be my new knight in shining armor, but the thing is…

He was the best man...
