Blurb from Goodreads:
Trapped
in a cell and experimented on, Piper Madden's only hope is remembering Asher.
Then, Elder Corp President Rupert Elder gives her new orders: to be a leader in
a war against the Harpies. Without a choice, Piper must obey Rupert's commands
or suffer from paralyzing and painful Nanomachines. But the war is just
beginning, and Asher has gone missing. The resistance is slowly building, and
the upcoming war will be larger and bloodier than anything seen since the
Devastation that ruined the earth. Throughout all of this, Piper remembers the
time before she ran to Ichton, when David was alive and her hope in Elder Corp
was still strong.

Can't wait for Book Three!!!!!!
When did you start writing?
I wrote my first book when I was somewhere around 7. It was about
literal "cat" burglars who stole my cat! :)
What makes you want to write?
Listening to great music or watching an awesome movie or TV show always
gets me going. I love stories and characters, and expressing them!
Do you ever get writer's block and what do you do to get over it?
All the time. To get over it I take a notepad and pen and sit somewhere quiet where I won't be disturbed. Then I just write, not caring about the words, as long as I get them down. Usually after a few minutes I'm on a roll.

Do you have a special way of going about writing?
I like to write by hand, first. I'm also a plotter. I find if I have my
scenes worked out then the writing comes out more organically, if that makes
sense
What are your hobbies?
I collect them! Mainly I work with horses, sing and play ukulele, and
garden :)
How did you choose the character names for the Flight series?
In early incarnations Piper's name was Syrinx (A dryad in Greek
mythology) and Asher was Aiden. Eventually the names Piper and Asher just came
to me.
Who is your favorite character in the Flight series?
That's tough. I really love Piper, of course. She's my main. But maybe
my favorite is Asher. He's always been a bit of a complicated character, tragic
and beautiful at the same time. Can I swoon over my own character?
Where did you get the idea for Flight series?
About 12 years ago, I had a story going about a guy in a post-apocalyptic wasteland who got involved with vampires. Then, I was reading a webcomic called "Arcana" that had Harpies in it, and they were so interesting and beautiful, that I rewrote the entire plot, creating my own Harpies the way I envisioned them. Other visual inspirations included the Underworld movies.

What was your favourite part of writing the Flight series?
I think writing the scenes where Piper and Asher just talk, looking at
the stars. I loved the way they spoke together, and Asher's poetic nature
despite what he is.
Do you have any works in progress?
Ah! I have so many! My mains are a Sci-fi romance about Brain-chip con
artists, a surrealist "anti-Lolita", and a Cyberpunk book.
What are you currently reading?
The Diviners by Libba Bray.
What is your favorite book?
Notes from Underground, by Fyodor Dostoyevski.
Who is your favorite author?
Dostoyevski :)
What is your favourite film?
Tough one! My go-to is actually the movie True Romance. I love the juxtaposition
of love and violence.
What is your favourite TV show?
Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell are major favorites of mine. I also
love LOST and wish it had never ended!
