Check out my Book Recommendations

ChrisParanormal Young Adult, Uncategorized

When Ben Shepherd emailed and asked if I’d put together a list of books I’d recommend based around a certain theme, I was excited. There are so many good reads out there and I had to stop and think about what makes me love a book. I love kick-butt girl books where the main character discovers she has some sort … Read More

Demon Bound Book Birthday

ChrisParanormal Young Adult

Demon Bound is live today. I’m so excited to share this new world of witches, vampires and demons. All the hours I spent watching The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and Supernatural sparked the idea for this story. Here’s the back cover copy: When a summoning goes awry, suddenly booknerd Meena’s summer job becomes something drastically different. Instead of cleaning eccentric … Read More

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

ChrisParanormal Young Adult, Uncategorized

I loved the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series. Joss Whedon’s snarky dialogue is one of the reasons I became a writer. I recently started watching the show again on Hulu. The special effects and the fight scenes are a bit cheesy, but the story still works and the dialogue is snark-tastic. I was thrilled to hear that Joss Whedon … Read More

Supernatural Spinoff: Wayward Sisters

ChrisParanormal Young Adult

I’ve long been a fan of Supernatural because what’s not to like about two irreverent brothers fighting evil while making snarky comments. I’m excited about the new Supernatural Spinoff: Wayward Sisters. Sheriff Jody Mills has kicked ass for a long time as a recurring character on the series. I love that she and Sheriff Donna will be heading up a … Read More

Fanning The Flames Excerpt

ChrisParanormal Young Adult

Good Morning. I thought I’d share an excerpt from Fanning the Flames, book 4 in the Going Down In Flames series. The release date is set for March 6th. I can’t wait. *** Bryn untangled herself from Valmont’s arms and legs and went first to her room to smack off the alarm and then to Valmont’s. By the time she made … Read More

The Originals

ChrisParanormal Young Adult, YA

I stumbled across a show on Netflix and have quickly become addicted. It’s The Originals. Now I fully admit that I never watched The Vampire Diaries, and apparently the characters of The Originals are a spin off from that show, as in the original Vampires who sired all Vampires. I guess it’s a prequel of sorts. I know some of … Read More

Do You Watch Doctor Who?

ChrisFor Writers, Paranormal Young Adult, Uncategorized, UtopYA

For years my writer friends have talked about their love of Doctor Who. While I am a fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, and most other Science Fiction Fandoms I have never watched Doctor Who. Then Netflix came into my life and now I am hooked. My favorite Friday night activity is watching Doctor Who while I crochet and do laundry. … Read More

Author Release Week Mania

Chrishome, Paranormal Young Adult, YA

My husband was a little concerned for me, since Bridges Burned (Book 2 in the Going Down In Flames series) came out on Monday. Apparently, I acted a bit manic when Going Down In Flames came out last June. Something about hitting refresh over and over again to check for reviews on Amazon and Goodreads and freaking out when people didn’t … Read More
