Sophia Morganthal is in over her head. Her struggles with trying to run a corporation and lead her coven cause havoc in Sophia’s personal life — mostly with her boyfriend, Connor.
Amidst the chaos, a neighboring coven is attacked, pushing Sophia to assume her place on the local council. On the brink of a supernatural war, Sophia must take action as some of the coven leaders seem to have their own agenda.
Running out of options, Sophia seeks help from the last group the council wants to involve. Will the risk be worth the reward or will she lose everything she fought so hard to attain?

Interview with Kat Nichols
What is the Secret Societies Collection about?
The Secret Societies Collection is a
planned series of books about how various supernatural groups interact with
humans and each other in northwestern Illinois. Since the series covers
multiple groups, each story is divided into two books or a Set. The first two
books, Family Secrets and Deadly Secrets, are the Secrets Set and tell Sophia's
story. Book three will move on to a new group and therefore will start a new
Set. Each set can be read on its own, but the characters’ lives will intertwine
with those from other sets, so you can catch up with old favorites or fall in
love with new ones.
What are you
currently working on?
I currently have several projects going. The first is a
short story that will be released to my newsletter followers about Sophia, the
main character in the first two books of the Secret Societies Collection, and
her first Christmas in Illinois. I’m also working on the third book in the
collection, which focuses on a new paranormal group, the Fae. It tells the
story of Morgan, who is 16 and completely oblivious to everything supernatural.
Finally, I’m working on a New Adult Contemporary about Brynna, a Senior in
college, who is hiding from almost everyone, including her new love interest,
that her father is a convicted serial killer. It’s different from the other
things I’ve written, but it’s been fun so far.
Who has been your
favorite character? Why?
I really love Sydney, Sophia’s best friend in the Secret
set. She’s tough and she always has Sophia’s back, but she’s willing to tell
Sophia to get over herself if she needs to.
Have you always
wanted to be an author?
Yes. Always. I still
have notebooks and folders full of Chapter Ones and Story Ideas from high
school and college. I wrote a lot of chapter ones, but never finished a book
until I got serious.
What process do you
use to plan your novels?
I am a plotter. I usually sit down and get a basic idea of
where I want the story to go. Once that’s done, I go back and develop that
basic plot and break it into chapters. From that point I write. I don’t like to
get any more detailed than that so that I can let the muse free when I write.
Sometimes she surprises me.
Do you have any
advice for aspiring writers?
You have to get out there and mingle with the
blogging/writing/reading world. Join discussion groups, follow Facebook pages,
and put yourself out there. It can be time consuming, time you may want to
spend writing, but you
can meet some amazing people. And then, keep going. Don’t stop writing or reading. If possible, find
yourself a good writing group to help keep you sane. They will understand what
you’re going through and can support you in ways even your best friends and
family cannot.
Which authors inspire you?
Number one on the list is Rachel Higginson. Not only is she a wonderful
author but she is also a fabulous person. I met my writing group on her fan
page. We formed the Rebel Writers and agreed to support each other as we wrote
out first books. The Rebel Writers consists of Alex Tuttle, Caylie Marcoe, Regan Claire,
Stormy Smith and Theresa Kay, who are also incredible writers. Without them, I
would not be where I am today. I also include authors like Nora Roberts and
J.K. Rowling who inspired me with their words. There are so many more I can’t
list them all!
If you could pick one
favorite book, and only one, what would it be?
That’s like picking a favorite child—Oh wait, I only have
one of those! My favorite book of all
time, huh? So many options, but I think I am going to have to pick the Harry
Potter series. If I had to pick only one, I’d go with Sorcerer’s Stone. I
didn’t join the HP hoopla right away. In fact, my sister-in-law talked about it
all the time, but I wasn’t interested. Finally, she handed me the first book
and told me to read it. If I hated it, she’d never mention it again. That was
around 2007 and the fifth movie was coming out. It took me a while, but now I’m
a mega-fan.
Why that book?
I love them all, but there is something to be said about the
wonderment of it all, finding out you have magic powers and being sent off to a
magic school. I know there is danger too, but this is when Harry finally begins
to truly live.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kat Nichols was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago. The youngest of four children, she'd been known to play for hours with only a cardboard box for entertainment. Her imaginary friends had friends... and family... and even little cities to play in. As she grew older, she began to put some of these stories down on paper, rather than keeping them in her head.Writing a novel had always been a dream for her, perhaps an item on her bucket list, but it wasn't until she joined a writing group with other aspiring writers that she finally got to work.When not writing, Kat is reading or driving her son to and from practices and wishing she was reading.It depends on the day.
Kat still lives in the suburbs of Chicago with her wonderful husband, their hilarious son and their sometimes adorable and sometimes annoying cat.
