I think storytelling is so important because it allows us to see and understand other realities and experiences beyond our own. Why is storytelling so important for all of us? Book two is definitely my most ambitious project yet, but I’m really excited for readers to find out what’s next for Sloane. We also dive deeper into the history of the world, so we get to learn about the Orishas, the fall of the Ancient Kingdoms, and the mystery behind the ancestral forest. I will say that she goes through a lot because the stakes are even more personal this time around, and the overall conflicts are far more brutal and unforgiving. We pick up right where book one ended, and Sloane is once again forced to stand up against a bigger, more sinister threat in an effort to save her people.

I’m currently working on the sequel to Blood Scion, and I’m excited about the direction the story is headed. What are some of your current and future projects that you can share with us? Comparing yourself to others can be very damaging to your goals, so I was always taught to focus more on my own journey and less on other people’s successes.


The greatest advice I learned in school came from one of my creative writing teachers, and that is to: keep your eyes on your own paper. I’m constantly asking my partner, “is this real? Did they actually love it?”-mainly because I still can’t believe that I wrote and published a book, and there are people out there who enjoy it. Getting to interact with readers! It’s the most incredible feeling whenever I receive messages from readers telling me how much they love Blood Scion. Tell us your most rewarding experience since being published.
