I’ve always been very interested in sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, well . . . anything that wasn’t reality. LOL. In my adolescent years, I read books, followed shows, watched movies, got into anime, and even delved into comic books/graphic novels. During this time, and unbeknownst to me, the bones of my shadow quest series slowly began developing in my mind.
To be honest, I never really thought anything of it. It was just a story that wouldn’t get out of my head and refused to leave me alone. It literally kept me up at night, demanding attention, and I would think “Dammit, I have work in the morning!”
I didn’t say, “hey, I could turn this into a book, or a series, quit my job, publish it, and ultimately become a writer,” but somehow, that’s exactly what happened.
When I finally did decide to put it down on paper—or rather, computer—it was just because I needed so badly to get it out of me. Once I did, however, it was like a breached dam, a long sigh from my soul as the words flowed from my fingertips.
Before I knew it, I had a completed novel, then another, and another. And finally I could sleep! Or so I thought...
Turns out a new story was just waiting in line to plague my nights. And so I began work on my latest series called Creature of Darkness. Whereas Shadow Quest is a series of traditional type love stories, Creature of darkness is a little darker, a little grittier, and follows a heroine who isn’t exactly what she seems, and some heroes who are, at times, more animal than man. There are more twists, more drama, and much more complicated relationships between the heroine and her heroes. It’s definitely not your ordinary romance series, but one that will keep you engulfed.
