Meet the Undertow Cast – Nikki Shea
Posted on September 30, 2013 Leave a Comment
When I wrote the character known as Nikki Shea, I never wanted her to be the typical mean girl. Most people who read the novel though, automatically assumed she was a stick-thin blonde. But in my head? In my head she was Jessica Rabbit crossed with Scarlett O’Hara. She was this curvaceous brunette who knew […]
Meet the Undertow Cast – Kian O’Reilly
Posted on September 29, 2013 Leave a Comment
I honestly didn’t think I was going to find someone to represent Kian O’Reilly. In fact, I had started searching through RF photos (random model shots) in an attempt to find the character. I always used young Friday Night Lights actor, Taylor Kitsch, as my baseline when writing for Kian. And I was sure there […]
Meet the Undertow Cast – Raef Paris
Posted on September 28, 2013 2 Comments
When I was searching for faces of the UNDERTOW characters, I found it exceedingly difficult to match a real face to a fictional character. A character who had lived in my head for YEARS. Raef O’Reilly (Paris) was a HUGE player in UNDERTOW. He is an immortal killer who decides to protect Eila against his […]
Meet The UNDERTOW Cast – Eila Walker
Posted on September 27, 2013 2 Comments
When I was writing UNDERTOW, I had a huge desire to find local Cape Cod kids to be the models for the story. Finding them, however, wasn’t so easy. But when Kim Rocha, a Cotuit resident and UNDERTOW Beta reader, said she believed “Eila Walker” was the girl who lived next to her, I had […]

Behind the UNDERTOW novel – CERBERUS
Posted on August 10, 2013 Leave a Comment
Behind the Story: The making of the CERBERUS yacht. If you have managed to get your hands on one of the ARC copies of UNDERTOW, you know two things for certain: 1. Raef and Kian are loaded. 2. Their home isn’t on land. When I was working through the technicalities of UNDERTOW I knew that the […]

Call it a MUPPET NEWS FLASH type of thing :) This blog is currently taking indie books for review: Click here for details: BOOK REVIEWS I am also looking for reviewers for my ARC (advanced reader […]
Book Cover Torture
Posted on July 19, 2013 Leave a Comment
I must applaud those fabulous artists on DeviantArt and those insane individuals who actually brave the tortuous world known as PHOTOSHOP. I am majorly intimidated. Which is why I am using a Superhero skilled Photoshop guru for the final copy of UNDERTOW (and live models . . . which is a whole different post for a different day). Anyway, I wanted printed […]
BOOK REVIEW: SIEGE AND STORM (Dark YA Fantasy)
Posted on July 18, 2013 Leave a Comment
OH YEAH! As much as I loved SHADOW AND BONE, Leigh Bardugo surpasses her first novel with SIEGE AND STORM. SIEGE picks up with Mal and Alina on the run from the Darkling after a throw down / massacre in a dark swath of land known as The Fold (see review of first book HERE). Bardugo […]
