A Darker Demise is a collection of three short stories delving into the darkness, mystery, and the supernatural. Where do you get your inspiration for the characters you bring to life in these stories?

All three of the main characters in each short story were all featured in my debut, The Darkest Side of the Moon. I felt it was necessary to give a different perspective through their voice as well as tie up some loose ends. A Unity of Balance was the most difficult to write as I explored a time that was very distant. It’s the shortest of the three, but packs a punch. Of the three, The Path to Redemption is my hands down favorite.

What inspired the story? The age old, what if? There were questions that needed answered so I traveled down that rabbit hole. I dug deep within and when I reread it, it even surprises me that I was able to write something to that magnitude.

Is there a supernatural element or beast that you have not written a character for yet that you want to write?

At this time, no. I set out what I wanted to accomplish in The Dark series diving into the supernatural world putting a spin on it and making it my own. There are more surprises in store including a beast in the fifth novel that wasn’t exactly planned, but brings something fresh to the supernatural world. I’ll never say never though. The sky is the limit when it comes to writing and which stories that have a strong will that want to be told.

What experience in your life has had the biggest impact on your writing?

I’m an avid reader, but lately have been struggling to find what I want to read that has purpose and deep meaning that takes things to the next level. Recently I realized that writing, which I’ve been doing all my life, is not only therapeutic to funnel my inner emotions, but it also gives me a voice. My author journey only began seven months ago, but I’ve gained a great deal of confidence in myself along the way.

Can your fans expect another collection of short stories in the future? If so, when do you expect it to come out?

A collection of short stories, no, not at this time, but there are novella tie-ins that will accompany the next two novels in the series. Fans can expect The Neighbors to accompany All I See Are Dark Clouds, the third novel in the series, in summer 2023.
