Love stinks… and so does writing about it.

Look, just between you, me, and the page here: I would be forever happy if I never had to write a love scene. Don’t get me wrong, a well written one is something I will happily devour… just don’t ask me to create one without giggling like a little girl and deleting everything.

I’ve always loved the Gold Coast of Long Island. The gilded mansions, the glittering parties, the wild nights of excitement and the stories which would make their way into the pages of history. As a native Tulsan, from Oklahoma, I’m no stranger to the 1920s oil boom era since Tulsa was the oil capital of the world. When writing my sexy new Surrender Series, I wanted to Read More »

If those walls could talk…

The initial concept for No Grits No Glory came from that very phrase. One of my husband’s relatives owns a rental property, and over the years numerous family members have lived there at one time or another. Read More »

Hello everyone! Thanks for joining me today at Bitten By Books and helping me celebrate the release of my debut fantasy romance, Unexpected Eden, book one in The Eden Series.

I’ll warn you upfront—Unexpected Eden isn’t your standard fantasy experience. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the eight months from contract to print, it’s that most people tend to clump fantasy into historical times. (Well, unless Read More »

A NEW YEAR. A FRESH START.

First of all, thanks to Bitten by Books for hosting me. I’m excited to be here. Now that we’ve reached the new year and I’ve survived the holidays, ate everything in sight, bought all the presents, and managed to not break anything dancing during New Year’s, it’s time for me to assess things and do a fresh start for the year. You know, those resolutions Read More »

Here’s one of the interesting things about my Baba Yaga series, which you already know if you read the first book, Wickedly Dangerous. (You DID, didn’t you?) In the old Russian fairy tales that I based my stories on, the Baba Yaga—a powerful and not-always-nice witch who lived in the woods in her hut on chicken legs with her dragon companion Chudo-Yudo—was sometimes Read More »

When we set out to write the first book in the Retired Witches Mysteries – Spell Booked – we wanted to write the story of three friends who’d spent a lifetime together. They had ups and downs, laughed and cried, married and had children. In other words, all the things you’d expect from mature women. Except that these three women are witches. Read More »

Unveiled is the book that almost wasn’t. As readers of Bitten By Books might remember, my first book Wild Card came out a year ago. Though readers loved Cat, Marius and Flynn’s adventure in a Vegas ruled by trickster gods, my publisher decided not to pursue further books in that world. The readers, though, had other ideas. In April, we had a very successful Kickstarter campaign that funded the creation of Unveiled. From the glorious cover designed by artist Nathalia Suellen, to the fabulous editorial work by Danielle Poiesz, Kickstarter made Unveiled happen.

Thank you so much, BBB, for hosting this awesome release party. And thanks to you for attending! As a writer, I spend most of my time hanging out with my cats, and since they aren’t quite the conversationalists I’d like them to be, it’s so exciting to share the books that have taken over my life with other people besides my editors (and said cats, who, I can say with confidence, do not seem to care).

What makes someone with superpowers choose to be a hero or a villain? Once we realize that we have power to create change, there is no more sitting on the fence. You have to choose a side. Good or evil? Light or dark? Human or…something else? Is it, as Dumbledore told Harry Potter, our decisions alone that shape who we become? That theory is fine and dandy when the decisions are easy, like saving a baby from a burning building. But what if the choices are a bit more complex? What if, no matter what you choose, someone dies? Someone loses? Someone important? Someone you love?

It’s The Hunt for Red October meets Mermaids in Siren’s Treasure, the second book in my Dark Seas series. If you think you know mermaids, be warned these aren’t the least Disney-like! This clan of shape-shifting mermaids in the bayou will do anything to protect their secrets. The series began with Siren’s Secret when a mermaid accidentally stumbled upon a serial killer during an evening swim.

When I was first invited to contribute a novella for an erotic romance anthology, it was a real challenge for me. While I like sexy stories, I also know that I need for the characters to really find love along the way. For that to happen in one night only, the theme of the anthology, seemed like a difficult task, but as the story idea came to me for Jase and Nickie’s Read More »

I didn’t set out to write a trilogy.

That’s probably a weird thing to say now that the third book of my Immortal series (Immortal at the Edge of the World, following Immortal and Hellenic Immortal) has been released, inasmuch as “three books” is more or less the definition of a trilogy.

A lot of fans can’t make Cons, for lots of reasons—distance, money, health, transportation, place to stay. So here, you get to see and hear me at a con, talking about Jane and her conscience. Okay – her guilt, but you have to admit that Jane sees all everything she does as win or lose, black or white, live or die, and anytime her actions result in anything other than her goals, she feels it. A lot.

Vampires are Live and Well in London!

Well, maybe not a-live, but there are plenty of immortals to go around for those of us willing to find them. The question is: Are you one of us, with an “Immortal Obsession”?
