First, thank you for having me on your site! I’m very excited that my next book in the Love’s Command series has finally found its way to readers. The delay from book one to book two is entirely my fault though! I get a bit caught up in my paranormal series or perhaps my Alpha males in those books are just that much more demanding…although Navy SEALs can be just as hard to handle, they are, mostly, more respectful of this writers limited brain power and the restrictions sleeping puts on my ability to keep up with all the stories! Leave a comment and you will win your choice of one of these two books.

For me, writing in the contemporary world takes a lot more outside of my own imagination work – for instance, research! This story is set in Hawaii and unfortunately, I couldn’t get on a plane and head off for a lovely week or two on the islands. I’m one of those authors that rely a great deal on personal knowledge. For instance, in Running Scared, I knew the areas in Florida I wrote about, what it’s like to drive cross country, and what life on a ranch is like, in addition to how small towns work. I also knew what it was like to run from something, so that, I hoped I could illustrate through my writing.

In Safe in His Arms, I struggled a bit, but finally dove in and got the setting, emotions, and characters surrounding them exactly the way I wanted. Now, I didn’t do it alone! I have a critique partner and a few BETA readers that helped me think this story through. And, of course, my editor was there to point out any irregularities in my setting and so on. I’ll never forget my goof up with using “captain” with my Navy SEAL. Ugh. Coming from an Air Force family, I simply assumed the Navy also had captains, but no, not true as a reader pointed out.

So this story, while it took me some time from the last release to hit my editor’s lap, is well worth the wait. Mac and Mandy are that couple you see that breaks apart to everyone’s surprise and instead of never getting back together, move heaven and earth to end up back in each other’s arms. I hope everyone that reads my story enjoys this action packed love story as much as I did writing it.

When a woman running scared runs into the arms of a sexy cowboy, she might lose her fear, but will she also lose her heart?

When a woman on the run hits a town right out of the Wild West, the first cowboy she meets sets his sights on her. Alone, scared, and starting over, Susan will have to decide if the big, bad Russell Ryland, retired Navy SEAL, now rancher, is for real or just using up his down time between missions.

Russell takes one look at the smiling, blue-eyed beauty and realises there’s a heck of a lot more after retirement than he’d thought. As he begins to dream of a life with Susan, he fights an unfamiliar battle within himself-doubt. Does she want him, or is she merely out for some fun?

Time for the reluctant couple nearly runs out when the very men Susan is hiding from come to call. Will Russell wake up quickly enough to save her? Or will their doubts get them both killed?

Can a woman learn to trust her heart enough to give her dream another chance? Can a man reveal all, in order to keep his love safe in his arms?

Mandy would do almost anything for Mac, anything except give him her heart—again. She has spent five long years trying to get over him. Now, forced back into his arms, will she finally have the courage to reach for her dream? Or will she lose him before she has even got a chance to be in his arms?

Mac has never been able to shake his need for Mandy—not even after five long years without her. Now she is back but, instead of the young, sweet girl who gave him her innocence, she is a fierce, courageous woman—so sexy he can barely keep his eye on the prize—her in his arms for the rest of their lives.

First, thank you for having me on your site! This year has been a whirlwind of new stories for me and I’m excited to share a bit about my new sub-series, The Sisterhood of Jade. This new series out with Total-E-Bound, and if you’re not familiar with this publishing company, all I can say is they’re wonderfully professional. Not only have they taken on a series that I feared might never reach readers because I refused to work with Noble Romance Publishing after the debacle over there, but they have supported and helped me hone my craft and become the writer I always dreamed I would someday become. This new series takes off right where the Sisters of the Moon left us.

If you read paranormal, and you like action, adventure, humor, and love stories all wound up into one, I think you’ll like my books. That sounds so presumptuous on my part, but as a reader, I often struggle to find stories where the woman is both strong and soft, and the man is both alpha and tender.

For one, I don’t write silly females, but my badass girls aren’t he-men either. What I mean is, they are strong, but they’re also women. What I mean by that is I hope I create characters that show what is so amazing and awesome about being a woman. I hope they are fearless but not afraid to admit they’re scared; strong, but not too dumb to know when someone else is stronger – and so on.

My men can be a bit rough around the edges, but they’re not out to do anything more than protect and care for the women in their lives – well that and survive in a world where the line’s drawn between good and evil. And often, that line blurs as the good delves deeper into ousting the bad. But my male characters are just as strong as the women in my tales, but with enough strength to be the kind of man you want to spend the rest of your life with – if he’s destine to be yours. In other words, my poor girls don’t have a chance at resisting….too much.

The Sisterhood of Jade centers on witches from the Jade Coven. Many of the witches in this particular coven are immortal. For some of them, that’s a gift – for others, not so much.

Tabithia starts the series and although she’s immortal, her life has been one of suffering and struggle. She a very powerful witch, but her inner conflicts rise and often drag her down into despair.  In A Spartan’s Kiss, Tabithia meets Aeros, the captain of the Spartans and the sparks – and snappy comebacks – hit from the start. The story will leave you both laughing aloud, and at times, crying, but in the end, I hope you put the book down with a smile.

After enduring centuries of life, Aeros the captain of the immortal Spartans, discovers his grey existence may end—in the arms of Tabithia. Only Tabithia is a witch guilty of crossing Ares, the god responsible for Areos’ existence.

Tabithia has feared meeting the warrior an ancient hag once predicted would someday command her obedience. But when Tabithia takes a job guiding Aeros and his team of Spartan to a stolen artifact, her fear disappears under his slow, wicked seduction.

Aeros will battle anything to claim Tabithia and the future they could have together—even his god Ares—but when he learns the battle might be within Tabithia, he learns that true love does not come with a command.

The second book in the series is Golden’s Rule. This book will tie up some of the loose ends from Silver’s Chance, but Golden’s story is a stand-alone story.

Beauty is a witch, but without her memory, she’s reliant on one sexy warlock, Torque, to help her discover who she really is. Torque found her battling a slave dealing giant set on selling her to the highest bidder.

Their journey is full of discovering each other, themselves and of course the love simmering between them. Throughout their story, though, they find themselves battling themselves, each other, and the Death Stalkers, but in the end, they discover that the more you give, the more you love.

He named her Beauty and swore to keep her safe, but who will save her from his passionate embrace?

Torque is a warrior mage hardened by centuries of battle and death. When he finds the one woman who makes him want to live, he must not only battle the Death Stalkers for her safety, but her own loss of memory in order to stake his claim. But will Beauty be his salvation, or will the sensuous witch teach him a lesson or two on what it truly means to be strong?

Beauty has no memory of who she is, nor what she can do with her powers. Yet she won’t back down, nor allow her brave warrior to go off to fight their battles alone. Strong, determined, and confident, she takes on not only the Immortal World, but also one very handsome, dominate warrior mage to win her place by his side.
