Time To Go To Hell – Seven #SexySnippets on #MySexySaturday
Dressed to impress, Mel chooses to do something no other angel has – at least, one who’s survived to tell the tale: “He’s gone to Hell. We can’t follow him there – can’t even see him,” Michael said. “You realise I’m going to have to go in there after him,” Mel stated, trying to wrap […]

Satan, Shenton and the Ship’s Dog – #DCCC – Demelza Carlton’s Cursed Coast Episode 5

What Inspires You? – Coastal Romance Australia Day Blog Hop
“Can you tell me what inspired your latest book?” “What inspired you to write…” The question is inevitable, though the wording changes slightly with the interviewer. What inspires you? It’s a damn good question that I find hard to answer, every time. The short answer is music and the incredible world around me. To truly […]

A Glimpse of Hell – Dante’s Inferno Without Dan Brown
Angels and demons, heaven and hell, the inferno…no, I haven’t been reading Dan Brown. Actually, I’ll be actively avoiding his books a for bit, as one of mine takes inspiration from Dante’s The Divine Comedy: Inferno. No, I haven’t gone mad (at least, no more than usual) – it’s my peculiar new project, Mel Goes […]

Romance and Being Eaten Alive – Seven #SexySnippets on #MySexySaturday
Luce plans a romantic dinner for Mel, but he makes a costly mistake. Luce slurped through his entrée before he noticed hers was untouched. “What’s wrong with your oysters?” he asked through a mouthful. Mel’s stare was as cold as the bed of ice beneath their shells as she said, “They’re still alive.” “Not for […]

How Do Angels Have Sex?
Do angels, those pure, shining, sometimes winged, celestial beings, ever get down and dirty? With each other? With other beings, like humans, devils, demons or something else? Everywhere, in heaven, or just here on Earth? Details would help. And pictures… When I start writing a book with paranormal characters – angels, demons, aliens – I […]

New Year’s Resolutions – Keep Me Accountable
Have you ever kept a New Year’s resolution? For thirty years, I hadn’t. Come my thirty-first New Year, it was time for a change. On 31st December, 2012, I made a simple resolution: I would see my first fiction book published in paperback before 2013 was out. I achieved it in February 2013. I then […]

Scared of the Dark
I refuse to send a character into a setting unless I’ve reconnoitred it thoroughly first. Been there, taken plenty of pictures, had a drink there (even if it’s only the bottle of water I brought with me). For my mermaid books, it’s both easy and fun, as most of them are set on coral islands […]
