Unlocked
A provocative thriller
involving hypnosis, mystery, love, and friendship!
Someone has been moving the
stuffed pink elephant in Hannah's room. She thinks. And ants crawl over her
hands, across the steering wheel, all the time. Don't they? They're what made
her crash the car on the way home from the fair, and she wouldn't have freaked
out, wouldn't have caused her friend's death, for no reason. But she doesn't
know if a person is messing with her, if the paranormal is messing with her--or
if she's just going psychotic like her dad before her.
When her friends bail, Hannah
is left floundering. Not even her boyfriend Manny believes her, and new girl
Chelsea is practically replacing her at school. Only artsy outsider and
self-proclaimed occult expert, Plug, agrees to help Hannah find out the truth
about hypnosis and demons, and even he can't help Hannah reclaim her mind from
whatever's taking over. She'll have to do that herself if she wants to save her
friends, her mom and herself.
Welcome Margo!
Q: If
you could live in any book “world” which book would it be?
A: Oh.
My. I read a lot of thrillers, horrors, and dystopias … so I don’t know that
I’d want to live in any of them. ;) I would want to live in a tranquil place.
So I suppose I’d want to live in the world of Anne of Green Gables -- Prince Edward Island.
Q: If
you had a time machine where would you go back in time or ahead? And who would
you like to visit.
A: I
would go back in time about fifteen years to visit more with my maternal
grandmother before she passed away from this life.
Q: Do
you have any pets?
A: Two
dogs. We rescued our big black dog from the local shelter, and they had named
him Black Sabbath. The little white dog, which we also rescued, was really tiny
when we first brought him home. We wanted to give him a name opposite of Black
Sabbath. So we named him Rascal Flatts. We call him Rascal.
Q: Any
pet peeves?
A: Dog
hair (no pun intended) … and yet, I have two wonderful dogs who shed hair
everywhere and on everything, and I love them.
Q:
What’s one thing that readers
would be surprised to find out about you?
A: When I
was around seventeen, I took a college entrance exam for a coworker so that she
could test-out of a math class she didn’t want to take.
Q: When
asked, what’s the one question you always answer with a lie?
A: I’m a
pretty honest and even blunt person. I don’t usually lie. If you ask me a
question I don’t want to answer, I will either say, “Oh, that’s a story for
another day.” Or, “Frankly, that’s none of your business.”
Q: Where
can readers stalk you online?
