About the Watcher Series

This simple beginning of The Unintended evolves into an epic journey through the shadow world of vampires, fallen angels, and the Watchers.

This series is great for anyone who loves the romance of Stephenie Meyers Twilight Saga, the world building of Cassandra Clares Mortal Instruments Series, and the high stakes of Suzanne Collins Hunger Games. When you get to book two, fasten your seatbelt, each book is faster, darker, and sexier.

Interview with the Author

Q: What inspired you to write The Watcher Series?

A: Its kind of embarrassing, but it was my coping mechanism after my life took an unexpected turn. In 1996 I called off my wedding (only six weeks before it happenedbut dont worry, I found my Prince Charming later). Consequently, I was in this weird emotional state. Writing became my refuge. I didnt write the whole book then, but I did write several scenes, chose the character names, and laid out the blueprint for my novel.

Q: What made you finish writing the first book?

A: In late 2008, I went back to what I had written again and toyed around for a long time. But it wasnt until a student saw my manuscript sitting on a table and asked if she could read it that things got real. I nervously let her, dying a little bit inside. Then, she did the most magical thingshe asked if she could take it home to finish reading. It spurred me on, and Ive never looked back.

Q: What were your influences?

A: I graduated with my degree in English and have a deep love of mythology and literature. Works like Paradise Lost, The Book of Enoch, Dracula, and The Tempest were all influences. I also had a friend introduce me to the old, cult classic film, Highlander when I was in college. This, combined with The Book of Enoch, sparked my ideas for my Watchers. (No, it wasnt Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This was before the show ever aired. But we did use a lot of the same source material).

I love the niches of urban fantasy and paranormal romance, too. I wanted my books to be a journey for my characters where they will find romance along the way, along with twists, turns, action, thrills, and a dash of mystery and intrigue. The Unintended starts off a little slower because of world building, but by the time you get to The Nexus, be prepared for a rollercoaster ride.

Q: In what order should we read them?

A: If you want maximum suspense, this is my recommended order:

The Unintended

The Nexus

Allure (the prequel)

The Sacrifice

The Fallen Part 1

The Fallen Part 2

Light and Shadow: Watcher Series Shorts & Extras (I recommend reading "The Price" after The Nexus. The alternate point of view will change everything).

The Sacrifice: The Watcher Series: Book Three
