A New Take on Vampire Lore

Sundowners released today and I wanted to share with my Goodreads pals a little bit about my inspiration for the story.

A. I love Vampires of all kinds, but I always said if I was going to write them, I'd try to think of something different to say. You be the judge if that was a good thing or not haha.

B. It's set in Santa Cruz. I love Santa Cruz. It's been one of my favorite hangouts since I was a little kid. When Lost Boys came out, I watched the film over and over pointing out, "I've been there! Oh, that's over by that one place. What? That railroad trestle scene is unrealistic, you can't get to it from where they were." etc etc. I loved poking fun at the town's link to the movie, the reality of "murder capital of the world" and it's proximity to Silicon Valley made it perfect for the plot of the story.

C. This was my pandemic guilty pleasure project. I started it, put it down, then when I had a ton of other things due, I pulled it out and finished it!

D. When I finished writing Connection, I realized there was a clear connection (har har) between the new story, so there you have it. Read the Gifted series (Healer and Connection) as a companion series or on their own.

E. The love story compelled me to keep writing. Roman and Creed are fire together, and it wasn't long before I realized that their story would not be over in one book. I hope you'll stick with me as I work on book two and potentially three, throwing all the obstacles in their way before they finally get a forever HEA.

It's weird, but very much the
