Feature Friday – Cursed Blood

Loooook! It’s the Grimms. That wacky, crazy, cursed family who has to deal with sooooo much before they can find their happy place.
Grimwood stemmed from the idea of gender-flipping fairy tales. I wanted to write a story about a prince trapped in a tower who’s rescued by a beautiful young woman who’s more than she seems. So I did.
Honestly, Zel’s story sort of broke my heart. The poor guy was so resigned to living this horrible life with a woman who hated and abused him that he doesn’t know what to do with himself when he finally breaks free.
And it only gets worse for the poor Grimms from there.

Genre: Paranormal Romance, Twisted Fairytale
Zel has lived his entire life within the confines of a square mile of the forest. The tower is his refuge. The witch, his captor. Forced to do her bidding, he dreams of a day when he can leave the cursed place and be free.
But fate has other plans and freedom can take many guises.
As a girl, Geneva devoured stories about the wild boy who lived at the highest point in the forest. A changeling, a prince, a forest spirit—all the tales tell a different story. Imagine her surprise when she stumbles across the cursed tower and the young man held prisoner there.
It’ll take all her cunning and courage to free him.
What she doesn’t know is that freeing him might doom them all.

Genre: Monster Erotica, Paranormal Romance
Change is coming.
Arabella Colton knows that in her bones and she’s determined to make the monstrous community’s unveiling as painless as possible. Let’s face it, when a nymph sets her sights on a goal, there’s no telling what she can accomplish.
Provided, that is, she doesn’t get bogged down by doubt. Or her fears. Or realize just how big a task she’s set for herself.
Ari’s always believed supernaturals are stronger together. Now she’s going to have to put her money where her mouth is.
That’s right, she’s going to suck it up, shore up all her courage, and ask for help.
Because nothing’s going to stop this nymph from saving the ones she loves.
Warning: This book contains a confident nymph. Well, a mostly confident nymph. It also contains a medusa with a stony stare and a green monster who will love the confidence back into his mate if he has to stay up all night trying. Because that’s what monsters do.

Feature Friday – All the Reasons Why

Today’s featured book is the 3rd and final (SO FAR!) book in the Anderson High Wolves series. All the Reasons Why brought back Natalie, the head bitch at Anderson High, and paired her with the biggest, quietest of the bunch.
Not that Mason’s a pushover. The dude is extremely confident in his own skin and he’s waited patiently on the sidelines until Natalie SAW him.
No lie, I like the big, quiet ones. They make me ridiculously happy.
While this book closed out the Anderson High Wolves trilogy, I’ve always had it in the back of my head that I wanted to write another set of books to give these wolves and their special lady friends a little more happy in their ever after.
I’m not saying it will happen soon, but the thought is there. It’s SO THERE.
All the Reasons WhyAmazon | Barnes and Noble | iTunes | 24 Symbols | Kobo | InkteraRelease Date: October 21, 2015
Pages: 92
Genre: New Adult, Paranormal Romance
Natalie Lombard didn’t set out to be the queen bitch of Anderson High, but that’s what she is. She also never planned on letting everybody know how badly she wants a werewolf football player in her life, but it’s the worst kept secret at school.
What they don’t know is Natalie needs protection and the only ones she thinks stand a chance against her worst nightmare are the wolves.
Mason Armstrong held his tongue as Natalie dated her way through the team. He wants her to want him, not settle for the biggest, quietest wolf in the pack because he’s the only one who will have her.
Finding out what drives her serial dating makes his wolf see red.
But figuring out how to fix her problem is only the beginning. Once her issues get taken care of, will she even want a wolf?

Monstrous Revelations 1 has a NEW cover!

While this isn’t a NEW book, I’ve finally managed to get the Monstrous Connections cover updated to match books 4 and 5. Whoo-hoo! One down, 2 more to go!
So here you go. A new cover. ENJOY!
(And as a reminder, ALL the books in the Monstrous series are available to read FREE through Kindle Unlimited. GO CRAZY, MAN!)
Monstrous ConnectionsAmazonRelease Date: July 21, 2018
Pages: 58
Genre: Monster Erotica, Paranormal Romance
Ari Colton isn’t your average nymph. She’s brought a community of monsters together, mated herself to the love of her life, and is determined to find a match for every supernatural she comes across. In fact, life is pretty darn good for the woman who once only dreamed about the things that go bump in the night.
But now change is on the horizon. The monsters Ari knows and loves can no longer stay hidden. The world is going to find out about them sooner or later and the wicked nymph knows it’s better to do it on their terms than cower in fear, waiting for it to happen.
What’s a lusty nymph and her band of monstrous friends to do when faced with an impossible task?
Rally around one another and strengthen the connections that bind them all, of course.
Warning: This book contains tree folk. And wolves. And a nymph who can’t keep her panties on. And a tentacled, grabby, completely smitten monster. In other words, it’s just a typical day in the life of Ari Colton.

Feature Friday – The Girl Most Likely

Next up… Lane and Matty’s story.
When I hit the end of Buried Bodies, I kneeeeewwwwww Matty and Mason were going to get their stories. At that point, the only thing I didn’t know was who their romantic foils would be.
Lane popped into my head pretty much fully constructed and she turned out to be PERFECT for Matty’s quiet strength. See, the other wolves were a little too flashy for the girl who wanted to stay out of the limelight. Matty, however, fit her.
Awww, they’re so freaking cute, aren’t they?
The Girl Most LikelyAmazon | Barnes and Noble | iTunes | 24 Symbols | Kobo | InkteraRelease Date: September 3, 2015

Genre: New Adult, Paranormal Romance
Lane Tennyson’s greatest wish is to finish out her senior year and disappear into the big city where no one will know her name. Because this town won’t let the girl voted Most Likely to Commit Arson (again) escape her past even though she’s grown up since then and moved on.
Matthias Bridges is content with his place in life. As the second in command to a future alpha, he can see his path laid out for him and it’s a bright one. The only dark spot is the way the girl who intrigues his wolf avoids him like the plague.
So what if she once set a local trailer park on fire? Accidents happen and Lane has grown from a gangly, angry girl into a beautiful, sweet young woman.
Finding out she has every intention of leaving and never coming back after graduation is unacceptable.
Because when a wolf finds his mate, there are no limits to what he’ll do to keep her.

Would you look at that? A NEW INSTALLMENT OF THE MONSTROUS SERIES.

Pages: 55
Genre: Monster Erotica, Paranormal Romance
Ari and her monstrous friends are living on borrowed time.
At least that’s what Ari thinks. She might be wrong, after all. It’s not as if they’ve heard anything from the government since those FBI agents stopped by the house several months back.
But the wait is killing her and this nymph doesn’t do well without a plan of some sort simmering in the background.
So she has a choice to make: Wait things out or go to the source and try to get some information.
The problem? Putting herself back on the government’s radar might put all her friends in danger…
Warning: This book contains a nymph dealing with weighty issues. How does a nymph deal with weighty issues? By sharing some quality naked time with her mate, of course!

Feature Friday – Buried Bodies
Yoooou guys. Jenny. And Evan. OMG! I love these two.
I mean, sure, this book opens with Jenny dealing with getting rid of a body, but THINGS HAPPEN, right? Sometimes you accidentally shank a dude and have to get rid of the evidence. And in her defense, her stepfather was not a nice guy. Jenny did what she had to do.
Okay, this is making this book sound WHACKED, but it’s not. There’s a body. There’s a girl on the edge. There’s a pack of werewolves who end up getting involved in her life.
Evan and his crew were fun enough to write I had Matty and Mason’s books roughly plotted before I finished writing this one.
Which, let’s face it, happens often with me.
Buried BodiesAmazon | Barnes and Noble | iTunes | 24 Symbols | Kobo | InkteraRelease Date: June 20, 2015

Genre: New Adult, Paranormal Romance
Jenny Reynolds may be a mere human, but her life is anything but ordinary.
She’s juggling her senior year of high school, a sick mom, a brother who depends on her, and, oh yeah, there’s the matter of a body in the trunk of her car. As if that isn’t enough, the werewolf quarterback of her high school’s all-shifter football team has started sniffing around.
Evan Carmichael never noticed Jenny as more than the cute girl in his class until the day he smelled blood and death on her. Now she’s all he can think about. And when a werewolf becomes intrigued, he’ll do anything to keep the object of his fascination safe.
Even hide a body.
What’s a girl to do when the most beautiful boy in school wants to help her out of her jam? If she’s smart, she takes him up on the offer…
