Cover Artist: David Palumbo
Book Description:
Armageddon is over. The demons won. And yet somehow…the world has continued. Survivors worship patron demons under a draconian system of tributes and rules. These laws keep the demons from warring among themselves, the world from slipping back into chaos.
Noon Onyx grew up on the banks of the river Lethe, daughter of a prominent politician, and a descendant of Lucifer’s warlords. Noon has a secret—she was born with waning magic, the dark, destructive, fiery power that is used to control demons and maintain the delicate peace among them. But a woman with waning magic is unheard of and some will consider her an abomination.
Noon is summoned to attend St. Lucifer’s, a school of demon law. She must decide whether to declare her powers there…or attempt to continue hiding them, knowing the price for doing so may be death. And once she meets the forbiddingly powerful Ari Carmine—who suspects Noon is harboring magic as deadly as his own—Noon realizes there may be more at stake than just her life.

ASIN: B009NY48SO
Cover Artist: Jason Chan
Book Description:
Lucifer and his army triumphed at Armageddon, leaving humans and demons living in uncertain peace based on sacrifice and strict laws. It is up to those with mixed demon and human blood, the Host, to prevent society from falling into anarchy.
Noon Onyx is the first female Host in memory to wield the destructive waning magic that is used to maintain order among the demons. Her unique abilities, paired with a lack of control and reluctance to kill, have branded her as an outsider from her peers. Only her powerful lover, Ari Carmine, and a roguish and mysterious Angel, Rafe Sinclair, support her unconventional ways.
When Noon is shipped off to a remote outpost to investigate several unusual disappearances, a task which will most likely involve trying and killing the patron demon of that area, it seems Luck is not on her side. But when the outpost settlers claim that an ancient and evil foe has stepped out of legend to commit the crimes, Noon realizes that she could be facing something much worse than she ever imagined…

Book description:
Since Lucifer claimed victory at Armageddon, demons, angels, and humans have coexisted in uneasy harmony. Those with waning magic are trained to maintain peace and order. But hostilities are never far from erupting…
After years of denying her abilities, Noon Onyx, the first woman in history to wield waning magic, has embraced her power. She’s won the right to compete in the prestigious Laurel Crown Race—an event that will not only earn her the respect of her peers but also, if she wins, the right to control her future.
However, Noon’s task is nearly impossible: retrieve the White Heart of Justice, a mythical sword that disappeared hundreds of years ago. The sword is rumored to be hidden in a dangerous region of Halja that she is unlikely to return from. But Noon’s life isn’t the only thing hanging in the balance. The sword holds an awesome power that, in the wrong hands, could reboot the apocalypse—and Noon is the only one who can prevent Armageddon from starting again…

Interview:
1. Where do you get your ideas?
From anything and everywhere! :-)
Inspirations for Pocket Full of Tinder include Greek mythology, English nursery rhymes, the Conowingo dam, Multnomah Falls, a sinister French Revolution quote, the Domesday Book, and the Statue of Liberty.
In all of my books, some of my inspirational sources are obvious; others are so changed, they’re barely recognizable.
2. Do you have a dream cast for your book?
I should be so lucky as to have someone option the performance rights, which I still own… anyone interested? :-D
Hmm… based on a quick IMDb perusal…
Noon Onyx (Maegester-in-Training): I’m torn!
Amrita Acharia (Irri in Game of Thrones)?
Isabelle Fuhrman (Clove from Hunger Games)?
Adelaide Kane (Queen Mary Stuart from Reign)?
Fara Vanderlin (Noon’s Guardian Angel): Allie Marie Evans
Ari Carmine/Lord Aristos (Noon’s new employer/ex-boyfriend): Luke Pasqualino??
Raphael “Rafe” Sinclair (Noon’s ex-Guardian Angel): Douglas Booth
3. How do you handle writer’s block?
Two summers ago, I had a huge bout of writer’s block and I biked my way out of it. I began keeping track of my miles the way writers keep track of their word count. But, eventually, I reached a point when I wanted to write more than I wanted to bike. I still love to bike, but I don’t do it nearly as often, and I’m back to counting words not miles.
4. What inspired you to write this book?
The readers who said they wanted book #4.
5. What’s the hardest part of being an author?
The uncertainty of it all. I think the writers who finally reach whatever their definition of success is are the ones who accept that and move forward regardless.
