Dormaine was born in Long Island, New York where she lived most of her life. As an adult she liked to travel out of the country though her favorite places to explore were her fantasy worlds as an author. She may be a nurse by profession but her heart has always belonged to writing. As a young child she spent many Saturdays in the library nurturing her love for books. There she discovered her fascination for the science fiction genre, through books, movies and graphic novels.
Now she resides in Colorado with her husband and two feisty dogs. After many years of working in hospitals and travel nursing she took time off to pursue a career in writing. Her first novel "Connor" is in one of her favorite genres, young adult urban fantasy. Her second love is for horror of which she created the "Madame Lilly, Voodoo Priestess" series. This is just the start of her exploration as she stays locked up her office in Colorado spinning more tales.

Interview:
1. Where do you get your ideas?
I’ve always loved reading young adult novels and being that I’ve always felt young at heart it seemed the natural step to take. I usually think of a plot or an exciting idea pops into my head then run with it. I sit down at the computer and let the creativity flow to see where it takes me. Then I go over the story several times until it makes sense and until I’m satisfied.
2. Do you have a dream cast for your book?
These actors/actresses are who I envision for my book characters. I know it’s a teen book but adults have been playing young characters for years.

3. How do you handle writer’s block?
Knock on wood but so far I have not met that challenge. If I get to a plot that stumps me, I walk away, stew on it then start writing again. I try not to stress out on the working process. I feel that writing is fun and I allow myself to enjoy it.
4. What inspired you to write this book?
Growing up I never really saw characters that looked like me and I’ve always been interested in young adult, urban fantasy. I’ve often wondered what it would be like to be an average teenager growing up in a small town to discover that you have special abilities. So I wrote a book that covered an array for different characters that just happened to be special.
5. What’s the hardest part of being an author?
I love the writing but it is hard for me to sell myself or my work. The fear of rejection was the initial dread but I’ve grown a thicker skin. In saying that it’s still hard to put myself out there. I find marketing difficult as well but they are both a work in progress.
