I definitely enjoyed the fact that Amber was an independent woman following her own path. Unlike Bella falling into depression…I know that story is YA, but to me, it tells the girls its okay to love someone so much you just put your life on hold for them. I love Twilight, but I wanted my character to be strong and even though she can love someone, she doesn’t allow herself to fade away, she goes on with her life. I wanted to show how rough it was being a female werewolf and how they have to be strong to survive and definitely a lot stronger than Bella. When writing No Remorse I approached it from a different point of view. I am introducing all kinds of paranormal characters other than werewolves and hope the ones who liked No Remorse will like what I am doing. In my series, the males will be very dominate, however, there are going to be strong women, like Amber, who will be a big part of the series. There are usually females wolves, but it’s the male’s who dominate. Most of the time I find that they are male character driven. That sounds an exciting development! Can you tell us a little more about the background of ‘No Remorse’? My werewolf community is a little different than most other books that I’ve read. I have had a few very small publishers inquiring, but I’m not about to jump into anything…again. I’m not sure if I will try to query publishers for the series or keep it self published… I will see if I gain exposure and if I get decent offers. I am hoping to release that in June or July as self published again. I have a pre-qual “A Justified Kill” that I am going through the formatting process on and will release the novella of Amber’s life and her “first kill” before No Remorse. However, I did go through ‘Publish America’ in the beginning and pulled it away from them because I wanted more control. Can you tell us your experience of self-publishing, and a little of why you decided to go down that route? No Remorse was self published. This is a first for me! I know you’ve been working very hard since the release of ‘No Remorse’, to publicise your ebook.

I’m looking forward to the experience of being part of your blog tour.
