Cover Reveal – Veils and Vampires
About Veils and Vampires (Book 2)
I’m checking out the Bold Tsarina nightclub, even if it is owned by Konstantin, the Bratva crime lord who hates my guts. After all, the trip could snag me a high-paying gig for another mafia king, the infamous Caelin Vass.
Yes, that Caelin Vass.
I’m talking about the hot-as-sin social media sensation who’s rumored to be both a horrible boss and a blood-sucking vampire. And did I mention that Caelin’s also the star of my hottest NSFW fantasies? He is. Plus, that isn’t even the strangest part of my life right now… or the best.
Read my story and have some fun. You know you want to…

CURSED (Book 1)
Elea doesn’t want to be a witch, but she’s been struck by a curse. The only way our heroine can survive is if she embraces her hated Necromancer powers. Elea works hard. Still, success seems just about impossible until a handsome warlock named Rowan offers to help.
CONCEALED (Book 2)
Elea is now a Grand Mistress Necromancer. Good thing, too. She’ll need all her new powers in order to save her friends from the evil Viscount Gaspard. And her heart? That might belong to Rowan, unless he breaks it forever.
CHERISHED (Book 3)
Elea is done being a witch. Forget casting spells. Forget saving the realm. Especially, forget how Rowan shattered her trust. Now, Elea wants to go back to life on the farm. Trouble is, someone’s trying to kill her. The only man she doesn’t want to ever see again? That’s the only one who can help her. It’s time to see Rowan.
CROWNED (Book 4)
Elea’s true identity will be revealed… as well as who is the best man to share her future.
CRADLED (Book 5)
At last, Elea and Rowan are settling in to their new lives. Trouble is, Rowan is spending a lot of time cleaning up messes from his childhood. And considering the nightmare that was his mother, those are some ugly messes indeed. In fact, the experience is enough to make Rowan vow that he never wants children of his own. Oops.

Eighteen year old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She’s not your every day quasi-demon, half-demon and half-human, girl. For the past five years, Myla has lived for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory’s arena. When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter heaven or hell, they go up against her, and she hasn’t lost a battle yet.
But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights aren’t enough to keep her spirits up anymore. When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla’s school, she knows that things are changing and it’s not looking good for the quasi-demons. Myla starts to question everything, and doesn’t like the answers she finds. What happened seventeen years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won’t anyone tell her who her father is? Things heat up when Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax, a super sexy half-human and half-angel demon hunter. But what’s a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It’s a good thing that Myla’s not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla’s going to shake up Purgatory.

Here Sept 13th – My Necromancer Romance
Like slow-burn medieval romance and magic? Here’s a box set that you’ll love: MY NECROMANCER ROMANCE! All five books in the Beholder series are now in one collection…
See it on… Amazon / Apple / GooglePlay / Kobo / Nook
CURSED (Book 1)
Most days, Elea couldn’t care less about being a witch, even if she does have special powers over spirit and bone. Why bother with incantations when you’re a farm girl? Everything changes when the evil Necromancer Tsar curses Elea. Now, she only has five years left before she burns as a ghost, tortured for all eternity. A handsome warlock named Rowan steps up to help. Elea wants him as an ally, but she can’t ignore the mixed-up feelings that come with every one of Rowan’s crooked smiles …
CONCEALED (Book 2)
As a Grand Mistress Necromancer, Elea’s a witch who commands the ultimate power over spirit and bone. It’s magic that she’ll need in order to stop the Vicomte Gaspard from killing her Sisters by draining their magic along with their life force. To find and free her fellow witches, Elea must venture into some of the most dangerous places in the realm. And with the handsome warlock Rowan along to help, Elea may be risking more than her life. Her growing feelings for Rowan might put her heart on the line as well…
CHERISHED (Book 3)
For Elea, there’s never been a better time to turn away from witch life. The Tsar is in exile. The Vicomte is dead. And Rowan? Falling for him only broke her heart. Instead of casting spells, Elea spends her days running Braddock Farm and enjoying the flirtations of the very handsome and non-magical Philippe. Everything is going perfectly, except for one problem. Someone’s trying to kill her.
CROWNED (Book 4)
At last, Elea has found the love of her life. Unfortunately, the evil Tsar Viktor is about to unleash an army of twisted mages bent on killing everyone Elea cares about… including the man who’s stolen her heart. So what’s a powerful witch to do? Why, fight back, of course! Elea goes on a mission to find the Sword of Theodora, the only weapon that can destroy Viktor. Will she find it in time?
CRADLED (Book 5)
Elea is settling in to her new life. Trouble is, her true love is spending a lot of time cleaning up messes from his childhood. And considering the nightmare that was his upbringing, those are some ugly scenes indeed. In fact, the experience is enough to make her new love vow that he never wants children of his own. Oops.

My Rules For Writing Kick-Ass Heroines
I’ve now written dozens of books with strong heroines.
For what it’s worth, here are my rules…
Rule One. “Of course you realize, this means war.”
I also call this the Bugs Bunny Rule. If your character strikes first, then she is the bully. But, if your character is patient before defending herself? That’s something else. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Rule Two. Get rid of the ‘archy’
And here, I mean hierachy. If someone’s the top dog–and therefore feels so entitled, they can boss everyone else around–then they’re just ANNOYING. Exception: if the character is acting in self-defense (see rule number one).
Rule Three. You, me, we.
What’s interesting about writing about a couple (to me, anyway!) is how the you and me make a we. How are these two characters better together? And what’s a unique way to show how that we impacts the world?
Rule Four. All that is strong does not carry weapons.
In my writing, characters don’t have to be a warrior in order to fight like hell. In fact, I like having some some folks fight with weapons beside others who battle via intellect or emotion.
Rule Five. Being an asshole is not a sign of strength.
Again, this really goes back to item number one. If a character mouths off at someone just for looking at them funny? Not okay.
Rule Six. No Whining.
If a character doesn’t like something, they need a scheme to fix it. At least, that’s my plan 
So, there you have it: my six rules for writing kick-ass heroines who aren’t a**holes.
Now, back to my latest manuscript!

Here’s a sample. Should be live this Fall!
