Dive into these pages and join her on her journey. Interview with the Author Q: What makes Found special? A: I believe Found pulls all of the elements I love in an urban fantasy book and adds a little twist. Found has action, a little romance and cool beings with awesome powers who are hidden in plain sight. I personally love historical fiction with origins in magical realism, so I created characters you may have heard of in the history books and brought them to life with new fantastic powers. I also love a good mystery. I have woven little mysteries along with some major twists into the series. I hope that you find yourself enthralled in the story and chasing the clues. Q: Why should I give Found a try? A: If you have enjoyed the world building of Kevin Hearne in the Iron Druid Series, the character development in the Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris and the magical twists in The Magicians Series by Lev Grossman with just a touch of the paranormal romance of Stephanie Meyer in the Twilight Series, give Found a shot! Q: When can I expect the next book? A: You're in luck, book two- Forsaken is available in December 2018. The rest of the series will follow in 2019, including some short stories and novellas featuring spin off storylines from the characters you love.
