Hesitation is set a thousand years in the future. Earth has become a
wasteland. Humans traveled into space to colonize other suitable
planets. Labels and stereotypes are a thing of the past and gender
and sexual identity are as fluid as love as humans strive to survive.
Here we meet Everleigh, the commander of her ship named Nirvana. She
is under the control of an evil madman, Caspar, who keeps her family
captive. He sends her to Valinor to abduct the Empress Akacia. When
she arrives, she is taken back by Akacia’s beauty and when the
Empress fights back, Everleigh realizes she has met her
match.

Akacia’s
POV:
Without
such much as a gasp she sat up with a wild look in her eyes and
looked around the room frantically. I stayed in the chair watching as
she looked around and then down at her wound. Finally, her golden
eyes found mine. “Empress.” “I’m
here,” I answered, going to her side. “It’s good you’re
awake. Are you in any pain?” Her
eyes searched mine, like she was looking for an answer for a question
that I didn’t ask. She shook her head. A slight grimace on her face
was the only sign she was in pain. “You fixed me.” “Your
injuries weren’t that bad.” “Thanks.” “You
can thank me by returning me to my planet,” was my firm response. “I
saved your life, too. Shouldn’t we be even?” She
was right, though I wasn’t giving in. I just needed some time to
figure out how to get back home. “I am the Empress. My people
depend on me. Can I at least call and tell them I’m alive?” “Fine,
but you cannot tell them where you are.” “And
where am I?” She
held my eyes. “The Nirvana.” I
knew the name, Nirvana. It was a ship of criminals that were wanted
by the Authority for a long list of crimes including stealing and
murder. I swallowed hard. What in the universe did the Nirvana want
with me? My heart pounded, and I took deep breaths to calm myself
down. Don’t show fear. Get word to Valinor. Bristow can
figure out where I am. “Your reputation precedes you.” “Then
you know just how lethal we are.” She shifted like she was
uncomfortable. “Let’s get to the bridge.” “You
should rest.” I didn’t know why I was still concerned about her
wellbeing, but I was.
Everleigh’s
POV:
The
planet got bigger and bigger and we rushed toward it far too quickly.
Reality hit me as we entered the planet’s gravitational pull. We
were going to crash. I couldn’t land, but I slowed the speed of the
ship and brought up our shields hoping they’d protect us a little
from the heat of entry, maybe even the crash. We
came in fast and I braced myself against the controls. As
we slammed into the ground, my head hit the control panel and
blackness surrounded me.

What are your top 10 favorite
books/authors?
Shadow Falls series by CC Hunter.
The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer
(she showed me I could be the author I wanted to be).
The Selection by Kiera Cass
The Divergent Series by Victoria Roth
Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
Every Day by David Leviathan
What book do you think everyone should
read?
The Little Prince
Do the characters all come to you at
the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?
I usually have a handful of characters
ready, but then more come to me as I write.
What do you think about the current
publishing market?
It’s flooded and hard to find the
well written books.
Do you read yourself and if so what is
your favorite genre?
Yes! I usually stick with YA, but
sometimes branch out to other authors and genres. No horror though. I
get scared easily.
Do you prefer to write in silence or
with noise? Why?
I’m ADHD, so there is always
something on. It is usually the TV, music, or both. As for why, I
guess it goes to the ADHD. My mind just needs the background noise to
work better. Sometimes I play music that relates to what I’m
writing so I’m in the mood.
Do you write one book at a time or do
you have several going at a time?
Usually one main book at a time, but
when ideas come to me, I write them no matter what book they are. I
have many partially written books for this reason.
If you could have been the author of
any book ever written, which book would you choose?
Don’t laugh. The Twilight series.
Pen or typewriter or computer? Pen or
computer.
I go back and forth. Then when it’s
all typed up, I print it out and use a red pen to edit.
Advice for new authors?
Read a lot. Write every day, even if
it’s just a paragraph and don’t think it has to be whatever
you’re currently writing. It can be another story, a blog, or just
random thoughts. As long as you write. Don’t stick to what you know
(that goes against what others say). But think about it. If we only
stuck to what we knew, we would never have fantasy, paranormal, or
sci-fi stories. So, let your imagination flow and go with it.

Honestly, I think the covers are magnificent! I love the silhouettes of the women walking into space, and the colors are so pretty!
