Forbidden Mind
49% of Americans believe their government officials
are honest. I don't know these officials, or their supporters, but I
know their secrets, and 49% of Americans are wrong.
My employers pay me well to be right, to know things
others can't. But I don't know why they brought that boy in, strapped to a
stretcher, barely conscious. He asked me for help when I could give none.
I'm a wealthy spy, a talented artist, a martial arts
black belt, and a prisoner. They tell me that on my eighteenth birthday, I
will be released, free to go to the college of my
dreams. It's my eighteenth birthday, and a man in black is at my
door. I know he's not here to free me.
I know, because I can read minds.
My name is Sam, and this is my story.
So begins the tale of Sam and Drake--from the
time they link minds, forging a bond that leads to an unconventional
romance--to their fight for survival against the corrupt,
twisted organization known as 'Rent-A-Kid.'

Forbidden Fire
"She escaped,
but she'll never be free."
"Time held no meaning as my mind darted in and out
of memories. Past and present collided to create a full-sensory collage out of
my life: playing hide-n-seek with my best friends Luke--who always cheated by
walking through walls when he was about to be caught--and Lucy; Mr. Caldrin
critiquing my sketches and offering ideas to make them more realistic; targets
changing faces, blending into the same person, their thoughts rippling through
my mind like waves. Through it all, a demon stalked me from the shadows of my
memories, never quite showing its face, but crouching, waiting.
And then I dreamed...."
Sam and Drake may have escaped, but they aren't free—not
with a powerful Seeker after them. As Sam struggles with the ethics of her new
powers and embraces a blossoming physical relationship with Drake, Lucy and
Luke face challenges of their own.
With forces coalescing inside and outside the Rent-A-Kid
dorms, it's only a matter of time before the fire they started forces each of
them to make choices they can't undo. But will it be enough to save them?

The road to redemption begins in darkness.
A sinister force waits for them in darkness, ready to
devour their powers and take their lives.
Sam's baby is the key to a lock that must never been opened.
To keep her child safe, Sam will do anything.
Drake might have found a way to get his powers back and
save his family, but is it too late?
Luke and Lucy uncover secrets in an organization they
thought they could trust, and the lives of all Rent-A-Kid children are at
stake.
In this last Forbidden Trilogy installment, the secrets
to Rent-A-Kid will finally be revealed.

“I think the hardest emotion to convey in writing is love, because it’s a very complex beast. There are such plundering depths of love, sometimes, that we can hardly begin to unravel them ourselves, let alone explain them to someone else. It’s very much a conflicting emotion. You can love someone so deeply but hate them almost equally as much. You can love someone but never want to see them again. It can make your characters do utterly irrational things, stupid things that will have your readers screaming, ‘Noooo!! Why did you do that?!’ You have to show the reader the insanity that it is to be in love before they’ll buy any of the other stuff, and that can be a huge task sometimes.” 
“Um… I’m not sure I have a hardest emotion. Maybe it’s putting the right emotion into the appropriate setting. Sometimes my characters recover too quickly when they should harbor more resentment, or anger, over stuff I’ve never experience, like losing a parent, etc.” 
“Self-righteousness. If you get to know me you’ll learn I’m a pretty modest person at heart, so it’s hard for me to portray someone who’s boastful of their talents or thinks of things as “the end justifies the means.” In Dehumanized the main antagonist, Dr. Scott, is a very self-righteous person who only cares for his own goals and would gladly sacrifice others to put himself on top. Since I’m not that person or ever have been it’s hard for me to portray someone like that.”
