Synopsis
This is not your typical happily ever after...
Lauren Brooks wants to do three things: Escape the small town she grew
up in, get accepted to her dream school in Chicago, and graduate
without drowning in debt. Now she’s working her ass off to do just
that.
With a full course load and a waitressing job at one of the hottest
night clubs in Chicago, she does not have time for distractions;namely
ones who only want to get into her pants. She’s been burned before.
Only a fool goes for a second round.. With just two semesters left
until graduation, everything’s on track.
Until she meets Cal. Enter distraction.
At six-foot-two, with ebony hair, deep grey eyes, and a smile that
could only hide an agenda, she knows he’s trouble. And for the first
time in her life, a little trouble might be just what she needs.
No what she wants.
It isn't like she’d ever marry the guy.
Until she does.
What she thinks will be her happily ever after, is only the beginning.
Cal has a secret. One that makes loving him come with a price, and
being his wife cost more than she bargained for.

Synopsis
Out of the past six years of my life, I only remember about half of it. After a dozen doctors and thousands in medical bills, I was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder--one that causes me to lose track of time. Sometimes it’s hours, days or even weeks with no recollection of anything. The good thing is it's been almost two years since I had my last ‘black out’. It sounds much better than what the doctors refer to them as, 'episodes', like my life is a freakin' comedy.
During those two years of normal, I finally managed to get my Bachelor’s degree, a job I love, and I’ve just proposed to a woman who has been there for me through it all. For the first time in a long time everything is on track.
Until a strange woman shows up at my door—she says I'm her husband and I think she’s crazy. Until, I get a voice mail on my phone. It’s from a guy name Cal. The weird part is, it’s the same name the strange woman called me. What terrifies me, is this guy Cal…his voice sounds just like mine.

Synopsis
The conclusion to the If I Break Series.
Cal’s back and his arrival changes everything.
Lauren knew it was coming but what she didn’t think he’d bring with him was an ultimatum.
A choice.
One that Lauren feels trapped under. A choice she’s unsure will make a difference but could possibly change everything.
The ultimatum isn’t the only thing Cal’s got with him but answers. The ones Lauren so desperately craves. But the truth won’t only affect the lives of he and Lauren but everyone around them…and not everyone wants the truth to come out.
The good thing is Cal doesn’t give a F…
…There's two sides to every story. In this one there’s three.

Interview
What inspired you to become an author?
I’ve always loved to write since the fifth grade. They gave all the students a blank book and asked us to fill it up. Until then I had just been a reader, then I realized I could make my own stories.
I assume all authors also love to read, so what book inspired your love of reading?
It’s really funny but I’ve been reading since my mom purchased the Disney’s book a week club way back when I was in preschool. I’ve been reading ever since.
How old were you when you wrote your first story?
I think 11 or 12.
Who are some of your favorite authors now?
Right now Colleen Hoover and Gillian Flynn. I’ll read their books no matter how much I have to do.
Are you a plotter or a pantser?
A little bit of both. I try to let the story flow but I usually have an idea of how it will begin and end as well as main plot points I have to hit.
Are your characters based on people you know?
Only one male character was based on someone who should remain nameless.
What are some of your writing rituals?
I try to write when I feel inspired but when it becomes your job you have to get past that. I do notice I write best at night or early morning.
How do other books influence your writing?
They inspire me. I’ve always been a reader, and sometimes I’ll read a book and it’ll push me to make my own writing better.
How do you get motivated to sit down and write with all the real world interruptions?
I have a hard time doing that. I’m working on it now lol.
Which one of your books is your favorite?
If I Break.
It’d been with me for so long and my first one I ever finished. It’s like my first child.
If you could have a writing retreat anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be and why?
Somewhere in Colorado. Where it’s cold but cozy with little distractions.
If your main character were an alcoholic beverage, which beverage would they be and why?
Lauren would be a long Island Lemonade. Strong but sweet.
What’s the best way to hide a body?
Drop it in the middle of an ocean lol.
This or That
Coke or Pepsi? Pepsi
Paperback or e-reader? This one is hard but I’d say e-reader.
Facebook or Twitter? Facebook
Peeta or Gale? Gale
Edward or Jacob? Edward
Money or love? Love
Tattoos or bare? Tattoos
Hairy or smooth? Stubble lol
Call or text? Depends on who.
Hot or cold? Hot
Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Harry Potter
Coffee or Tea? Does frappe’s count lol
Halloween or Christmas? Christmas
McDonald’s or Burger King? McDonald’s
Batman or Spiderman? Spiderman
Oatmeal raisin or chocolate chip? Oatmeal Raisin
