If you answered...

Mostly a's: You and Ariana need to hang at the mall!
Mostly b's: Shiloh has a haunted house to cleanse—you free tonight?
Mostly c's: Creatures of the underworld are watching you
Mostly d's: Ariana and Shiloh are your new BFFs!


Beautifully Broken:
Thirteenth daughter. Heritage witch. Demon slayer.

They say every town has its secrets, but that doesn’t even begin to describe Whispering Pines. The townsfolk are a superstitious lot and the mystical disappearance of a local teen has everyone murmuring about a centuries old witch’s curse.

Sixteen-year-old Shiloh Ravenwolf is a heritage witch from the Broussard family, a family both destined and cursed. When she takes a summer job at Ravenhurst Manor, she discovers a ghost with an agenda. That’s where she meets the new town hottie, Trent Donovan, and immediately becomes spellbound by his charms. Yet she is determined to discover the connection between them before it’s too late.

Finally, Shiloh's met someone who is supercute and totally into her, but Trent may be the next victim on the supernatural hit list. And Shiloh is the only person with the power to save him. Complicated much?

It sucks to have a destiny, especially since Shiloh would rather spend her summer being a normal girl who worries about clothes and boys, not the supernatural. But she’s never been
normal and the stranger things become the more her own magical senses awaken.

With cryptic messages from a pesky wraith, she will begin to understand the mysterious significance of the strange mark branded on her wrist, and decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to protect the other teenagers in town.

Unfortunately, for Shiloh, not all ghosts want help crossing over. Some want vengeance.

Interview:

If you could have any superpower, what would you choose?
Hmmm, the power of telekinesis, just like the heroine of my novel. (The ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or other nonphysical means.)

Night owl or early bird?
Night owl!

Pet Peeves?
Author bashing

Skittles or M&Ms?
Peanut M&Ms

How did you know you should become an author?
When I was growing up, the only thing I ever thought about was being a professional writer. Today Amazon sent me an email inviting me to create an author page. This probably sounds lame to some people, but it’s an exciting step to me. My own official author page! I realize for self-published and indie authors that it’s an on-going struggle to get your books out into the world, and hopefully make some money in the process.

Like every writer, I am incredibly passionate about my work. The main reason I write is that I love to do it. Not for the money. No, because I love creating characters. I love constructing suspense. And I love telling stories—my kind of stories.

Who are your favorite authors of all time?
Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough. The Iron Hunt by Marjorie M. Liu. ANYTHING written by YA author, Rachel Vincent.

What movie and/or book are you looking forward to this year?
The Near Witch by author, Victoria Schwab

What TV show do you watch that you'd be embarrassed to admit?
I watch SUPERNATURAL, Vampire Diaries, TrueBlood, Game of Thrones, and I can’t wait for CW’s new series “The Secret Circle” about witches. Yay!

Finish the sentence- one book I wish I had written is....
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice

Favorite places to travel?
Can’t afford to travel, but I love Disneyland! :-)

Favorite music?
Kelly Clarkson
