Supernatural Central Short and Quick Interview
1. Tell me a little bit about your main character of this book.
Joey is a young girl coming off of a bad year of her life. She's a freshman in college and is finding college isn't everything she dreamed it would be. She curious as a cat, dangerously so and has a strong sense of justice and right and wrong. I love her in this book because she is starting to became that strong young woman.
2. Do you believe in the paranormal and if so, do you have an experience you can share?
Yes, I do. What pagan doesn't? I do have an experience in a house I used to live in. There was a room in the house that looked like something used to be locked in it. It wasn't like the rest of the basement that was all brick and cement. This room was like dug out of the earth, and had a slab like a bed in it. And I also felt uneasy in the space. One day I was home alone and I swear someone was calling my name from that room. Till this day I still won't enter that room.
3. What titles are you working on now that you can tell us about?
I'm currently working on a dark contemporary romance called, A-Jax. It's about a woman trapped in a bad friendship that has her eyes opened by a love interest, and she learns to take control of this abusive friendship and say enough is enough and stand on her own two feet.
Then, I am also working on the third JJ Morris book, title Banshee. This is where Joey takes off on her own to be a paranormal hunter/police officer with the Warner Clan.
Excerpt:In the history of insane ideas, this was high on the list as I stood at the edge of the cemetery looking out over a sea of headstones. This was the last thing I wanted to face down, but I had to know if I was right about the fire. If I was then someone was in trouble. I heard it in the dream, someone calling out for help. Then again I heard a lot of people calling for help the other night in my dreams, still I had an anxious feeling about this fire.I tried calling the police and the firehouse, but I couldn’t get a word out. I didn’t want to send them to the chapel if there was no fire. What if the fire wasn’t going to be for awhile? Like the other night. It took hours for the fire to happen after I woke from my nightmare. The time before that it was within moments. Which was it going to be this time? They could come, find nothing and leave. Then the fire starts and they respond too late. Too late for what, Joey?It was a building, an old building. So what if it burned down, there would be no harm done and there were no houses in danger around it. Who cared if the crappy little chapel disappeared, but that cry for help nagged at me.The idea of calling Gwen crossed my mind, I even stood there with my finger hovering over her number, but what was I going to say? “There is going to be fire because I said so”? I couldn’t explain how I knew where the fire was going to happen, I simply knew. Deep in my subconscious somewhere I knew without a doubt the chapel was going to burn, and the longer I waited the stronger the feeling grew. Instead of making the call I settled on checking out the chapel for myself first. If I found nothing then fine, I would go back home and call it a bad dream. If I did find something, well I had my phone with me. I could call Gwen right there. I simply had to make it through the graveyard. At night.Daring a step forward I took a deep breath and shored up what courage I had. Inside I prayed I didn’t run into any black dogs, or fire demons, if those were a thing. Taking another step I let out the breath and ventured another step. One right after another I made my way across the graveyard toward the chapel half a mile away. I could have avoided the graveyard and walked up to the sidewalk parallel to the cemetery, but this was the fastest way to the chapel. In the back of my mind it felt like time was running out, so through the graveyard it was.Shadows danced off of the gravestones as I walked, making me flinch from time to time. Once or twice I let out a little yelp as the breeze picked up and shifted the long grass that needed to be mowed. It didn’t help that it felt like someone was watching me. The little hairs on the back of my neck were standing up, and the smolder of eyes on me chilled my blood. Coming to a stop short of the chapel I stood near one of the mausoleums and looked at the chapel more carefully. I mean, running in when it could burst into flames at any moment wasn’t the best idea. So I took time to study the outside.The windows were dark, no light came from within. Outside it was quiet, dead quiet aside from the winter wind blowing. Dry and arctic, but refreshing against my heated skin. I stood there studying the lines of the old chapel and the curling paint chips that were flapping against the wind. Everything looked normal and fine, quiet and still.“Meow!” Jinx yelled next to my ear on the mausoleum.“What the hell, in heaven.” I gasped, jumping away and feeling my heart in my throat.
