Where did you get your inspiration from for your novel, Hate Me Today?

At some point during Freeing Tuesday, Jason and Vanessa pushed themselves forward and started to fight. Originally, Vanessa wasn’t even supposed to come past Where Words Fail, but she was stubborn and fought to be in the lime light. I loved the chemistry between the two so much that I knew I needed to write this hate to love story.

What do you think makes a great story?

Reality and drama. Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, people die, hearts get broken and not everyone is always nice.

Which part of your book was your favorite part to write? Why?

Easy. The strip club scene through the hammock scene. It’s such a hot part in the book, but drunk Vanessa is funny too, so it made it a blast to write.

Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

Thank you SO, SO much. From the bottom of my heart. Each person that picks up and reads one of my books, and loves it, makes my heart swell.

What are you currently reading? What do you think of it so far?

I’m actually in the middle of moving so my kindle is sad and lonely, BUT, I did pick up Take by Ella Frank the night it came out and can’t to have enough time to get past the third page. I loved Try, so I can almost guarantee that Take is going to be just as hot.

Do you have a favorite author? If so, who is it and why?

I’m in love with so many that it’s hard to choose but here’s my list. Tara Sivec, Kendall Grey, Ella Frank, Penelope Douglas, Cat Mason, Nicole Edwards, Hilary Storm and Julie Bailes. I know there are more, but my brain is fried lately.

What was your favorite subject in school and why?

Honestly, I didn’t like school. Like, at all. In fact, I disliked it so much, the summer after my sophomore year I pushed myself through everything and graduated at 15. If I HAD to choose, I would pick anything to do with writing.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

I’m 25. Born and raised in Maine, but am moving to VA. I have two older brothers and two younger. The two older ones have passed away. Vanessa’s disease is actually part of the reason my oldest brother died. All the doctor’s stuff in this book, is actually stuff I sat with him through. Other than that, I love tattoos, both mine and other peoples, music is the way to my heart and will always tell you how I am feeling, my family will always come first. I sing (please plug your ears), I love art, I own a Great Dane who is the laziest thing in the world. Camo is my favorite color and I love to shoot. My two younger brothers are my two of my favorite people in the world. I do photography in my spare time and I hope to be writing for a very, very long time.

I hate her but I’d rather make her life a living hell than not play for a crowd anymore. Hate is a four letter word. So is life. So is love. Each one requires passion to make it worth it. Jason Jackson has lived his whole life fueled with hate. Hate for himself. Hate for his family. Hate for the one person he despises but is stuck on tour with. All he wants to do is rock the crowd and keep his head down, but it seems like every time he turns around, she’s doing something else to piss him off. What happens when everything he thought he knew turns out to be wrong? For the first time in my entire life, I’m taking control and not even Jason can get in my way. Vanessa Knox knows all about life being too short. She refuses to let anyone stand in the way of what she wants. That is, until what she wants is something she knows she shouldn’t have. It could break her worse than being sick ever had a chance to. Nothing she ever does seems to be right. However, that doesn’t stop her from doing it. Sometimes the best things are the one you thought would be the worst. Hate leaves you wondering why, love leaves you wanting more and life leaves you waiting.
