Book Blurb:
When it rains, it pours…and sometimes love finds you even when you can’t find yourself.
Fate has given me a second chance at the happiness I once knew in the odd Southern town of Grimm Cove. But only if I can come to terms with some rather eye-opening revelations. Supernaturals are a real thing. I’m a witch. My high school sweetheart, who happens to be the Chief of Police in Grimm Cove, is my fated mate and a wolf-shifter. Ghosts exist and can be very nosy and meddlesome. Someone is murdering witches left and right. And last but not least, my ex-husband’s barely legal arm candy is taking fatal attraction to new levels of Hell.
I’m
no shrinking violet, and with the help of my best friends, I’m going to live
life on my terms–come Hell, high water, or magikal mishaps.

Q: What was your inspiration for the Grimm
Cove series and its unique setting?
A: I've lived in a lot of small towns in my
life. Using one as a backdrop for the Grimm Cove series felt right. I loved how
everyone knows everyone, yet there are so many secrets that are just below the
surface. I married this with my obsession with gothic literature, classic
Hollywood horror films, old television shows like The Addams Family, The
Munsters, and Bewitched, and my overall quirky sense of humor. The end result
was Grimm Cove, and I couldn't be happier.
Q: Can you tell us more about the
protagonist of the series and what readers can expect from her journey?
A: Poppy Proctor is the protagonist of Cloudy
with a Chance of Witchcraft. If the last name sounds familiar, it's because I
borrowed it from the Salem Witch Trials. Not only were a number of the accused
from the Proctor family, but also the name of an area where some believe the
executions might have actually taken place rather than Gallows Hill summit.
Poppy comes from a long line of powerful witches but never believed her
grandmother and grandfather’s talk of it. She just assumed they were eccentric.
All that changes for her when she finds her marriage of nineteen years coming
to a fast end and finds herself the target of an evil entity out to steal her
powers.
Q: The book deals with a multitude of
supernatural beings and elements. How did you approach this in the book?
A: In approaching the supernatural elements
of the book, I wanted to create a believable and relatable world. Anyone who
has read my work knows I put countless weeks and often months into reaching
everything that goes into the story. The supernatural elements were no
different. I researched different types of supernatural creatures and their
powers and tried to incorporate that in a way that was both authentic and
exciting.
Q: One of the prominent themes of the book
is love. Can you tell us more about the romantic aspect of the book?
A: The romantic aspect of the book is a big
part of the story and deals with the concept of fated mates. Readers learn
straightaway that Poppy has been burned by love more than once. Her first love,
her teenage sweetheart, broke her heart and never spoke to her again. Then, her
husband of nineteen years announced he wasn’t in love with her anymore and was
seeing someone else. Thankfully, Poppy has two besties who are basically her
ride-or-die bitches (or, in this case, witches), willing to do anything for
her. Even if that means uprooting their lives and moving with her to the tiny
town of Grimm Cove to start over at the age of forty. Poppy isn’t looking for
love after having two rather unpleasant experiences, but Fate steps in, giving
her a second chance with her first love.
Her
teenage sweetheart is now the sheriff of Grimm Cove, and she’s quick to learn
there is more to Brett Kasper than meets the eye.
Q: Can you give us a hint of what readers
can expect in the next book of the series?
A: I can't give away too much without
spoiling Cloudy with a Chance of Witchcraft, but readers can expect more danger
and mysteries in Grimm Cove, as well as get a front-row seat as Dana, one of
Poppy’s ride-or-die-witches, learns that supernaturals are real and that she
just so happens to be a fated mate of one. Hexing with a Chance of Tornadoes
also has a deeper exploration of the other supernatural beings in the town and
how they fit into the larger narrative. Additionally, readers will be taken deeper
into the gothic literature angle that is unfolding within the series world.
