Things That Go Bump in the Night – Horror Week
I love paranormal romance. I enjoy vampires, ghosts, shapeshifters but nothing too scary and certainly nothing gory. But, there are degrees of “Horror” in the horror genre that I enjoy, though most of it would be with a strong romantic element or perhaps humor.
I write about shapeshifters and vampires, military experiments and magic primarily because I love the freedom of writing paranormal. There is so much for the imagination. The only limits are the ones you put on yourself when you build a world that you’ll write in. And, you don’t have to be politically correct for the most part. For example, my Leopard shapeshifters have elements of Leopard behaviors when they’re in human form. So, they can be more aggressive, where a contemporary normal human male behaving that way would come across as mean or be rejected by most modern women. I love that, with my writing in the paranormal genre, I can do anything I can imagine.
I lean more toward sexy supernatural and less toward the scary horror. There are some movies that I never finished watching because they were just too scary for me.
Give me Dracula! And if we’re going to watch a movie please make it the version of Dracula with Gary Oldman and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It shows him as a beast in one scene and there is violence in the movie, but at no point do I forget that Dracula is influenced by love. It’s a love story.
What kind of horror do you like to read? Do you have a favorite horror movie or character that you enjoy?

Leopard’s Run Book Trailer – First Public Release!
Leopard’s Run is out November 6th and it’s both sexy and action-packed!
I love the conflict Timur and Ashe have. They’re both driven. They both have a mission. Timur doesn’t trust Ashe and for good reason, she’s most certainly keeping a secret. Timur is tasked to keep his brother, his family, safe. He takes his job very seriously. When Ashe appears out of the blue, working for Timur’s sister-in-law, he’s already pissed. There’s something about her that doesn’t quite add up and Timur is willing to do what it takes to figure her out. And what it takes to stop her if she proves to be a danger to those he’s sworn to protect.
Timur finds that his own body is willing to betray him as he gets closer to Ashe. Not a good idea when he might have to kill her. But perhaps, just one taste…

Leopard Shapeshifters and the Allure of the Alpha Male : Mitya
It’s no secret that my leopard series is my most erotic. And though all of my heroes in all of my series are alpha males, the leopards are particularly dominating predators. Part of that has to do with the nature of leopards, the other has to do with the nature of men. These men are already alpha males, and then we add the violence, dominance and predatory nature of the leopard on top of that. It can be explosive in so many ways.
Leopards are one of the only animals in nature that, even as you are hunting them, they will turn around and start hunting you. They are cunning, intelligent creatures.
Mitya’s leopard is the Amur leopard. Mitya was first introduced as a bodyguard to Alonzo/Fyodor. Just because a leopard shifter works for the main boss doesn’t mean they are not an alpha. Actually, the bodyguards are protectors and the leader must cooperate with them in order to stay safe. Bodyguard positions are all like that.
In the world that I’ve created, all of the male leopards are alpha. But, they are also part of a pack. So, as a society they choose the way their pack will be run. They agree on a leader and agree to obey that leader. In Mitya’s case, he moved up the ranks to become a leader of his own pack. Moving from bodyguard to leader is particularly challenging since Mitya’s always been the person who protects others. It’s not easy for him to give that up.
Mitya Amurov came from Russian and was born into the Vor, the Russian mob. He was the son of a leader of the Vor, expected to ascend into an enforcer and then to leader. But, things went horribly wrong when he was a child. Now, years later, he lives in Texas and knows his past is coming back to haunt him.
Mitya’s love interest is Ania Dover; thrill-seeker, transporter, businesswoman, shifter. This is a woman who is no wilting flower and can certainly stand on her own two feet regardless of what the world throws at her. Ania knows danger. The allure of someone like Mitya is almost too much to ignore.
Mitya realizes who and what Ania is. Claiming her is complicated, which just makes Mitya more determined, more dominant and more dangerous. I love that Mitya is this badass alpha male. If he is able to claim Ania, he’s not likely to let her out of his sight.
So, if you really enjoy those alpha males, Mitya and Ania’s story is a perfect blend of danger, sex and challenge. They are certainly one of the most erotic couples I’ve ever written.
