Turner Twins Series Feature!

Every story starts…with a story! And here’s one to share with you regarding the TURNER TWINS series. When I started writing, I began with paranormal novellas. Nice bite-sized bits of fun and lighted-hearted sexiness that I really enjoyed. But after writing a few of those, I asked my editor what I should attempt next to […]

It’s my 16th publishing anniversary!

Have you ever heard the phrase “write what you know” ? For nearly every author I've met over the years, this is true, especially of their first books. They put a little bit of themselves into the story, and that's what makes it real.  Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about real-life knowledge of how shifters become […]

Polar Bears, Forced Proximity and MORE!

Borealis Bears   The Borealis Bears series is one of those series that’s simply a ton of fun. Writing it, I was treated to a brand-new northern location. Set in the Northwest Territories of Canada, my polar bear shifters get to enjoy the remoteness of traveling outside the main community of Yellowknife, but also the […]

Get in the Holiday Spirit with the Holidays in Heart Falls Series

I have a deep love of certain tropes. Snowed in is one of them. And when I started writing the HOLIDAYS IN HEART FALLS stories, I quickly discovered that winter setting + holidays + couples getting together during a shorter time frame = rich ground for snowed in together plotlines! Book 1, A FIREFIGHTER’S CHRISTMAS […]
