Jax
Flynn’s life just went from bad to worse. He was already sharing his body with
a demon named Azirak, but after killing its mate… Well, shit got real. Now the
demon has taken control of Jax’s body and everything he cares for is at stake,
including Samantha, the girl he loves. Yeah, that’s not going to happen. It’s
time Jax showed everyone what he was really made of.
Excerpt:
“We
need to get something straight,” Sam said, changing lanes to pass the car in
front of us. “That shit you pulled back at Kelly’s? That can’t happen again.”
Irritation surged in Azi, but more than that, confusion. It genuinely didn’t
understand what she was pissed about. “You chastise me for protecting you?”
“Damn
right,” she snapped. “Because no matter what you say, that’s Jax’s body you’re
temporarily squatting in. He has to live with the fallout after I find a way to
evict your ass. Besides, that’s not what that was all about anyway.”
“Oh?”
The demon’s irritation turned to amusement. It didn’t bother correcting her on
the temporarily bit. Azi had me locked down tight and wasn’t the least bit
concerned about her—or me—turning the tables. And even though I had complete
faith in Sam—if there was a way to fix this, she’d find it—even I had to admit
I was pretty much fucked.
“You’re
the equivalent of a demonic spoiled brat. Any time you don’t get what you want,
you throw a fit. That doesn’t work in this world, buddy. You need a little more
self-control if you want to pretend to be a real boy.”
I
worried the demon’s temper would flare, but instead of anger, I felt a swell of
admiration from it. “You know what I am,” Azi said. It shifted around in the
seat so that I was facing her. “You know what I am capable of. And yet you
still speak to me as you would a lowly human?”
“Lowly
human?” She shook her head and stomped on the gas. Kelly’s Explorer surged
forward. I cringed internally. I’d seen Sam drive angry. It wasn’t a pretty
sight. “No, no. You’re totally misunderstanding me. I’m speaking to you as I
would an asshat.”
Author
Interview:
What
inspired you to write the Eternal Balance series?
It was a conversation with a friend
about the story of Cain and Abel. It kind of took on a life of its own after
that!
When or at what age did you know you wanted to be a writer?
I pretty much always loved writing.
From childhood, I was either going to be a chef or an author. I’d actually
chosen chef, and was accepted and getting ready to start at the C.I.A. I
changed my mind at the last minute and haven’t looked back.
What is the earliest age you remember reading your first
book?
Wow, I’m not really sure. I guess
the one that really sticks out would be Bunnicula by James Howe.
What genre of books do you enjoy reading?
I’ll pretty much read anything that
catches my attention. Amazing characters and complicated relationships are a
must for me. But, my real passion is paranormal.
What is your favorite book?
There’s no way to answer this with a
single title. I will say I have several books that I seem to be able to reread
a million times without getting tired of them. Nightlife by Rob Thurman, The
Heavenly Horse From The Outermost West by Mary Stanton, and pretty much
anything by S.E Hinton.
You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your
favorite author and why?
Pretty much the same as above. Even
if I sat here for days thinking about this, I could never pick just one. ;)
If you could travel back in time here on earth to any place
or time. Where would you go and why?
I feel like my answer should be
something awesome and profound, but the truth is, I’ve always been obsessed
with the Wild West and medieval times. It’d be a toss up between one of those.
I’d love to spend a day checking things out—as long as I could come back to my
internet and coffee the next day!
When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for
you or is it a difficult task?
I think it all depends on the book.
Some have come super easy, while others I’ve struggled with. Some are easy to
write and hard to edit, while others are slow-going to get out but a breeze to
edit. Each one kind of has a life of its own.
Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat?
Or any pets?
We’re dog people here. I have an
Akita, a German Shepard, and a Lab/Rottweiler mix. All are shelter dogs!
What is your "to die for", favorite food/foods to
eat?
I am a SUCKER for a well-made
chicken marsala. But, a nice rare steak and garlic mashed potatoes goes a long
way in my book, too.
Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an
author?
Keep writing. Don’t give up or get discouraged. Each word
you write will bring you closer to where you want to be!
