You only live once ... unless you're Hunter Emmerton.

From the sweet love story of Faded to the heart-stopping action of See No Evil and the inspiring Ever After, find out why readers are buzzing about The Faded Trilogy ... and falling head over heels for Hunter Emmerton.
Describe your books in five words or less
Inspiring, goose bump-inducing, romantic.
Where did the idea for the books came from? Your inspiration?
I wanted to write a paranormal romance that was a little different to everything else that’s already been written. I loved the idea of earthbound spirits protecting the town from evil. And, being a hopeless romantic, I loved the idea of eternal undying love, especially between two characters who are so young but whose love is so rare and beyond their years.
It happened to be storming when I was coming up with the idea for the series, so that’s the inspiration behind the power over the weather that the characters possess and the unpredictable storms terrorizing the town.
What was favorite scene to write?
My favorite scene to write in Faded was the Winter Formal scene. I loved the idea of transporting the reader into the enchanting, magical venue of Stoncastle Hall. It was definitely my favorite romantic moment to write between Savannah and Hunter too because it is such a defining moment for them to be a normal couple just like everyone else, even though their relationship is so different in so many ways to everyone else.
What are the traits you have in common with your characters?
Savannah is very much like my teenage self. She is a little shy and reserved and more at home with her nose buried in her textbooks than confronting a room full of her peers ... let alone coming face to face with The Forces and having to protect her entire town! (Thankfully, I never had to contend with the latter.)
She’s relatable in the sense that she has that internal self-doubt that I think all teenage girls have at some point in their lives. We slowly see her emerge further and further from her shell as the series progresses, guided in the most part by Hunter’s unconditional love and undoubting belief in her, and eventually, her belief in herself.
If you could hang out with one of the characters, who would it be?
I think spending a day with Hunter Emmerton would give me the fearless confidence to do anything I’ve ever wanted to do but been too scared to. Maybe I wouldn’t take it quite so far and jump off a roof like Savannah does knowing that she has no risk of harm, but I think it would give me a little reassurance to be brave knowing that Hunter Emmerton’s arms would always be there to catch me ... or heal me if needed!
What are your top five favorite books?
I know they are all from the same series, but I would have to say any five books from the Harry Potter series in no particular order. That’s the series that really inspired my imagination as a kid. I honestly believe there hasn’t been and never will be another series as phenomenal as Harry Potter. It’s just way up there on its own little pedestal in my mind.
What would you like readers to take from your story?
Love is an emotional feeling. The idea of Savannah and Hunter’s love for each other is that the strongest feelings we feel aren’t always physically felt but felt wholly and powerfully within your heart.
I believe there is a powerful and inspirational message behind The Faded Trilogy, and I hope that the readers will walk away from this series with a little more hope and love in their hearts.
