What
is Rival Love about?
Skylar Fletcher is a proud Harris Academy
Bulldog! She has everything she’s ever wanted: a perfect boyfriend, great
friends, and her dream college waiting for her in the fall. But nothing lasts
forever. Skylar's world shatters when her mom decides it's time to move and
drags Skylar, kicking and screaming, into Bobcat territory.
At Delmont High School, home of the Bobcats, Skylar has no friends and is often bullied. To make matters worse, her home life sucks thanks to all-star quarterback Caleb Morgan, nephew of her mom's live-in boyfriend.
At first, Skylar and Caleb want nothing to do with one another. But they soon discover they're not that different after all--and each is harboring a secret attraction to the other. But can a Bulldog and a Bobcat ever really be more than friends? And are Skylar and Caleb willing to risk everything to find out?

How did I come up
with the idea of RIVAL LOVE?
Honestly, I don’t think I have an answer that will make me sound sane,
but here it is. Most books about high school talks about Rivalries but they
never got into them. Only a few touched a surface lining of it and then they
passed over it. For some reason this bothered me. It made me WANT to see what
made a rivalry just that. I remember my own High School rivalry, both schools
were in the same city. One was public the other private. We painted lawns,
egged houses, and did horrible things. So, I pulled my laptop on my lap and
began typing away.
Why did I have
Skylar attend her rival school? Couldn’t she have stayed at Harris Academy?
I could have written the story like this, but the stakes aren’t high
enough. At least for me they weren’t. If you ever had an enemy, work, sports,
school doesn’t matter as long as you had someone you competed with. That’s what
this is about. I wanted there to be more than the lose and comeback theme. Which
made me think, how hard would it be if the character had to play with the enemy
not against. That’s what I did.

What
is Rival Hearts about?
Caleb is ticked off. Skylar hasn’t answered
any of his calls, texts, or emails since her move to New York, virtually
cutting him out of her life without warning. So Caleb decides to go after
her—and convince her to come back home.
But even when Skylar realizes her heart does belong at home with Caleb, her uncertainty lingers. Is it safe? Have things changed?
After the mysterious vandalism to the pool at Delmont High, everyone is desperate for answers they believe Skylar can provide. At first, she’s determined not to run. But when Caleb’s ex-girlfriend unleashes a vengeful surprise, Sky's love for Caleb is threatened.
Are these two rival hearts ready to fight for their love, or will they have to throw in the towel?

Is this a
continuation of the series?
Yes.
Is there more after
these two books?
There is. Rival Dreams is set to come out this year.
Will you write
Kayla and Lance’s stories?
I don’t know. A few of my friends asked this and really want it. It
depends if the fans/ readers and publisher want it.
Are you working on
anything new?
I am. I can’t get into the details about it but I’ve got two very new
things that I hope to have news to share with you all soon about. I’m very
excited about both of them. They’re both YA.
