Death's Rival by Faith Hunter, Rot & Ruin by , Taking on the Dead by Annie
Walls, The Breeders by Katie French.

5. What would be your advice to yourself before publishing your book?
Write. Don't stop, even when
all the doubts begin and you think everything you've written is crap. Keep
writing. When you're done writing, prepare to butcher your writing, do several
rewrites, and then sew it all back together again. I'm a firm believer that the
true magic of the writing process happens during editing and rewrites.
CONTINGENCY EXCERPT:
“Sage? Dear God, are you hurt?” Some sane part of my brain registered
the voice as someone I knew, so I lowered my dirk a fraction and focused on the
person standing a few feet away from me. Elaine stood there, one hand on her
chest, the other raised slightly palm out, as if to appease a wild beast. I
looked around myself at the carnage and down at the dirt and blood splatters on
my arms and dress. My hair had come undone and hung around my shoulders and in
my face. I must have looked like an insane asylum escapee. My body felt all
wrong so I sat back down on the ground next to the man I hadn’t saved just as a
single tear tracked down my cheek.
RELATIVITY EXCERPT:
“I’ve lain awake in bed the last hundred years
remembering, Sage.” He pushed himself further into my space, putting both his
hands on either side of me, onto the counter behind me. I had to lean back as
he leaned in. “Remembering your scent,” he said softly as he buried his nose
into my hair and inhaled. My eyes fluttered closed, and I tried to hold my body
rigid, but my arms were already shaking from the force of it, from the need to
lean into him instead of away from him. “Remembering the curve of your neck,”
he murmured as his lips grazed my jawline and his hand cupped the back of my
neck, sending tingles all along my skin and drawing a moan from me. “Remembering
the taste of your lips,” he spoke huskily against my mouth.
His mouth devoured mine and the only thing I could do was
wrap my arms around his neck and hold on as he made up for a hundred years of
doubts, desires, and distant dreams. His mouth slanted against mine, and my
body trembled against his as desire and longing clouded my thoughts.

(Sage Hannigan Time Warper #1)
Publication date: December 2012
Genres: New Adult, Time-Travel
Synopsis:
Eighteen-year-old Sage Hannigan wants to get back to her own
time, preferably one that hasn’t been destroyed by an underworld plot brewing in
Edwardian-era South Carolina. How hard can it be?
All she has to do is:
1. Learn to use newly acquired warping skills to bend time to her will.
2. Take out a few rogue vampires.
3. Join an ancient secret society.
4. Figure out who is putting the time stream in jeopardy.
5. Find and maim whoever invented the corset.
Sage never asked to be chosen by the Druid Priestess, Amerach, to become a Warper. She also never asked to have the future hanging on her shoulders or to warp a hundred years into the past. She certainly never asked to meet Dr. Aldwin Blake, who would make her question her desire to get back to her own time. But if she fails her mission, people will die, history will change, and the present she wishes to return to will be no more.

(Sage Hannigan Time Warper #2)
Publication date: February 20th 2013
Genres: New Adult, Time-Travel
Synopsis:
Three months after Sage Hannigan time warps a hundred
years into the past and saves the future as we know it, she is still
trying to come to grips with all the has gained…and all that she has lost.
All of her searching hasn’t turned up Cerberus Society or any
creatures of the night and she’s beginning to wonder if she’s gone crazy
after all. The only things keeping her grounded are her sparring
sessions with Matt and her weekly ritual of scouring the city for low
lives to kick the crap out of, and even that can’t keep her dreams
free of the heartache and bitter sweet memories she has come to loath and…to cherish.
When blasts from the past; good, bad, and evil, come knocking on her
door, will she be able to do what she has to even if it means having
her barely-healing heart ripped to shreds?
