Can you tell readers more about your Voodoo Butterfly Series?

In the series, my main character, Sophie Nouveau, unexpectedly inherits a New Orleans voodoo shop. Only problem? She knows nothing about voodoo or her family’s secret power. The women in Sophie’s family are Mind Changers, specialized priestesses who have the magical ability to change evil people good. Throughout the series, Sophie learns to harness that inner power. I cover different types of creatures than in typical paranormal books, drawing on New Orleans and Cajun culture, lore, and flair. These creatures include the rougarou, skinwalkers, angels, bokors, loa, and jinn.

The fourth book in the series, Courtship, will release this May. How many books are you planning for the series?

Five

What do you have coming up next that you can tell us about?

I just finished producing the audiobook of Voodoo Butterfly, so that will be released in April 2020. My narrator, Rachel Music, really made the story come alive. It will be available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.
Currently, I am editing Book 4 in The Voodoo Butterfly Series. In this installment, Sophie will tangle with a skinwalker, which is a Native American shapeshifter and all-around nasty creature. There will be a wedding, three major characters die, and a huge battle scene ensues in the middle of New Orleans, so I’ve whipped up quite a lot of obstacles and conflict for Sophie.

You say that you grew up in a haunted house. What were some of the things that happened to have you believe that? Is this what inspired your writing toward the paranormal?

Lights would flicker on and off by themselves, the piano keys would play randomly, and objects would move around. The scariest thing that happened was I woke up to something—like a fingertip--tapping me on the head. I was so scared I wouldn’t even open my eyes, so I just started mentally praying and, after about twenty minutes, I fell back asleep. It tapped me on the head the whole time, though!
All of these haunting experiences make me curious about what happens after we die and what causes strange occurrences in our physical realm. I do not believe that everyone is telling the truth about hauntings and some people “fake it” to make money. However, there are many people who have had true experiences and don’t want anything out of it. We can’t discredit the sheer number of these experiences just because we don’t have the technology or knowledge to understand them yet.

Check out the Book on Amazon



When twenty-five-year old Sophie Nouveau inherits her grandmother's voodoo shop she knows nothing about voodoo. Or her family's history of Mind Changers, who have the power to change evil people to good. To complicate matters, someone doesn't want Sophie in New Orleans and sends a series of death threats to scare her away from her new enchanted life.

Tipped off by her grandmother's ghost, Sophie realizes her mind-changing spell's been missing one magic ingredient: true love. If Sophie cannot experience transformative love, she cannot make her spell work, and she will be powerless to fight back when confronted by the one who wants her dead.
