Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
Claire Matthews has spent her life hiding her powers, just as her ancestors from Salem once did, knowing that one mistake could draw the attention of the ruthless Onyx Clan. When she learns that Killian Burns, a prisoner who may know the location of a buried ancient library tied to the fall of Mythicos, is set to be executed, she risks everything to save him. Their escape sets off a chain of events that reveals their true identity as Elementals and binds them to a dangerous mission to uncover the past, unite the remaining Elementals, and stop the Onyx Clan's merciless leader before she destroys what remains of their world.

What has been the most rewarding part of being an indie author?
For me, the most rewarding part of being an indie author is the creative freedom to tell my stories exactly the way I envision them. I love having full control over every aspect of the process, from writing and editing to cover design and marketing. It’s incredibly fulfilling to connect directly with readers and hear how my work has touched them in some way.
