Writes:
I write contemporary romance across a range of genres: dark paranormal, funny paranormal, small-town Maine, cowboy, and suspense. The genres may change, but all of my stories have women who find the strength we are all fighting to find in ourselves. Women who find the love they deserve, but long ago gave up finding. The heroes are dangerous, but they are loyal, honorable, and treat their women with all the reverence, support, and kindness any woman would dream of. There's always a bit of humor as well because sometimes we need a spark of laughter to get through the day. My newest book, a dark paranormal romance titled, Darkness Awakened: Reimagined is a stunningly sexy, action-packed paranormal romance between forced mates which reveals the power of true love against the darkest evil.
About:
I've been writing romance novels for ages, and I've been a reader for even longer! I have three awesome dogs who snuggle on the couch with me while I write. I'm a five-time nominee and 2018 winner of the RITA® Award, the highest award in romance fiction.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Believes in a sigh-worthy happily ever after.
- Loves to read about strong women, even if they have hit rock bottom.
- Believes in love!
- Adores a strong, loyal hero whose heart is scarred, but he's ready to be healed by love.
- Is ready to dive into emotional stories that dig deep into the soul on the way toward the glorious, well-earned, happy ending.
What to expect if we're compatible:
- Books in a range of genres. Something for everyone!
- A bit of profanity. Did you know it’s a proven fact swearing is a sign of genius?
- A bit of steam, but not over the top.
- Humor interwoven in every book to some degree, some more than others, but it's always there!
- Sleep-deprived nights once you start reading!
- Feeling better about life after you finish one of my books. Don't we all need that right now?
