About Unforgiven:

Happily ever after is interrupted and the vampire nation is turned on its ear. Brandi Vaughn struggles to find herself in the shadow of her powerful vampire family and her socialite twin sister.

About Unbound:
Betrayal, passion, family secrets, murder, and vampires ... What else would one expect during their freshman year of college? Danielle Vaughn is secreted away after her birth and hidden until she leaves her small town in search of high education. She quickly finds herself maneuvering through a maze of enemies and lovers who are all out to capture her at any cost. Danielle’s life is turned upside down by the return if her father and the society of vampires that shattered her human mother’s life. She must find a way to survive in the new world she is thrust into by a power hungry rogue on the hunt for gifted vampire youth. The hierarchy of the vampire nation is rocked by the existence of a demi-vamp who challenges their narrow-minded views of the human race.

About Cat Miller:



I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and now I live not far from my birth place in Perry Hall, Maryland. I have two teenage daughters and a man that keep me busy when I'm not working full-time as a Certified Medical Coder. I'm an avid reader and I love all genre of romantic fiction from historical to contemporary to paranormal. Sleeping has always been a problem for me so most nights I can be found in the living room reading or writing instead of in bed like the rest of the world. I don't watch television. It's not a conscious decision, it just never occurs to me to turn it on when I have books to read and writing to do. It can actually be a hazard, because I never know what the weather will be until I look outside and I have to rely on my kids and coworkers for local and world news. I love creating the characters you love and love to hate. My characters remind me of people I know and people I wish I had never known.

Interview with Cat Miller!

Sabrina: 
Can you tell us a little about yourself?

Cat: 
I was born and raised in Baltimore City, Maryland. My Father was a Navy SEAL who proudly served several tours in Vietnam before returning to the states to meet my mom (Lucky thing for me.) I am the mother of two teenage girls that keep me busy when I’m not working full-time as a Certified Medical Coder. I went to school at Johns Hopkins University to earn my certification.

Sabrina: 
Other than writing, what else are you passionate about?

Cat: 
I am passionate about music. I have great respect for the song writers and artists who are able to transport listeners to another place in the space of a four minute song. It takes writers like me a lot longer to perform that task. I love everything from rock to county and R&B. Currently you will find Adele, Eminem, Shinedown, Theory of a Deadman, Jason Aldean, Papa Roach, Eric Church, Rains, Red Light Kings, and One Republic, just to name a few, on shuffle in my phone.

Sabrina: 
Why made you decide to become a writer?

Cat: 
I am a life-long lover of the written word. I would read book after book and tell my kids that one day I would write one of my own. On my eldest daughter’s seventh birthday I was giving her the – You can do anything you want if you’re willing to work for it – speech most parents give their kids when she turned to me and asked why I hadn’t written my novel if that were true… Yup. It was put up or shut up time in my house. So, I put up, and here we are.

Sabrina: 
Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? If so, what do you do about it?

Cat: 
I have not run into writer’s block, yet (knock on wood).

Sabrina: 
Where do you get your inspiration, e.g. music, dreams etc

Cat: 
Well, it usually comes in the shower. I’m not kidding. The entire concept for Unbound hit me in the shower one day. When it came time to write Unforgiven I knew where I need my characters to go, so I wrote in that direction. That’s the best I can describe it.

Sabrina: 
Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?

Cat: 
I learn a serious lesson in time management. Working, writing, caring for the family and not sleeping make Cat a very cranky girl.

Sabrina: 
Paint us a picture of your normal writing atmosphere. Where do you like to write? Is there anything you must have to get in the mood?

Cat: 
I almost always write in the living room. I do have a desk, but I find it uncomfortable to sit there for hours on end. I like to prop myself up in the corner of my sofa to write. I have several friends that are writers that need to set the mood with candles or music, but for me as long as I have relative quiet and something cold to drink that is all I need.

Sabrina: 
Do you have any advice for other writers?

Cat: 
My advice for other writers is to write about what you love. The hardest thing to do as a writer is to develop a character that others can relate to. When I write I live the scene and experience the emotions with my character. If you don’t feel it, neither will your reader. You have to find a subject you love and can immerse yourself in to make it believable. The biggest compliment I have ever received is that my readers laugh, rage, and cry along with my characters. They pick sides and cheer for their favorites. That is what you have to strive for in your writing.

Sabrina: 
What is your guilty pleasure?

Cat: 
My guilty pleasure is books. I know you probably expected me to say that but it’s true. I have a book budget that I have a devil of a time sticking to. I always go over.

Sabrina: 
Erotica or passionate romance?

Cat: 
Yes, please. May I have a double scoop? My writing is definitely more passionate but I love a good sticky erotica.
