1. What is your favorite flower?
Star gazer lilies, columbines, camellias, gladiolas, sunflowers, zinnias, hydrangeas, hyacinths… I REALLY love flowers.

None, alas.
3. If you could get rid of one chore forever, what would it be?
Dusting. Blech.
4. Tell us a joke.
Not mine, but I heard this one last week:
Hermione went to Madam Pomfrey with uncontrollable hiccups to see if she could do something to stop them. Madam Pomfrey examined her all over and then pronounced gravely, “I got news for you, Miss Granger. You’re pregnant.”
At that news Hermione fainted on the spot, and when she finally came round a few minutes later she asked “Oh, dear – am I really pregnant?”
“Of course not!” she said. “But it has cured your hiccups, hasn’t it?”
5. What animal sound annoys you the most?
My dog, snuffling in the kitchen garbage can!
About The Gathering Storm:
St. Petersburg, Russia, 1888. As she attends a whirl of glittering balls, royal debutante Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, tries to hide a dark secret: she can raise the dead. No one knows. Not her family. Not the girls at her finishing school. Not the tsar or anyone in her aristocratic circle. Katerina considers her talent a curse, not a gift. But when she uses her special skill to protect a member of the Imperial Family, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue.
An evil presence is growing within Europe’s royal bloodlines—and those aligned with the darkness threaten to topple the tsar. Suddenly Katerina’s strength as a necromancer attracts attention from unwelcome sources . . . including two young men—George Alexandrovich, the tsar’s standoffish middle son, who needs Katerina’s help to safeguard Russia, even if he’s repelled by her secret, and the dashing Prince Danilo, heir to the throne of Montenegro, to whom Katerina feels inexplicably drawn.
The time has come for Katerina to embrace her power, but which side will she choose—and to whom will she give her heart?

This book sounds awesome. I love historical novels, and the addition of her being a necromancer sounds really cool. I’m definitely going to have to read this one.
