Something Scandalous, Treacherous, and Black follows two people planning to be married who are harboring secrets that could shatter their well-conceived plans. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

Honestly, I went to a wedding where the bride did cocaine in her wedding dress, and I was like this would be a great book.

All of the characters are engaging and have memorable qualities. What were some driving ideals behind your character’s development?

I always love the idea of my characters being real people. Alan Heathcock, who wrote the book Volt, said he likes to believe his characters are real people, and he writes down what they do. I just love that people aren’t one hundred percent good or evil.

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

This book was huge into the concept of second chances. Paige and Leo being the huge aspect of that. I think everyone makes mistakes or timing isn’t right in their lives, so it’s magical when life gives you that second chance at love, a career, or being your true self.

What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?

The next book to come out will be The Bitch Cup on 8/3.
