It is the second in the Syndicate Masters series which consists of four novels: THE BARGAIN – already out THE AGREEMENT – releasing March 17th THE UNDERSTANDING – releasing April 21st   2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A dark”ish” mafia romance between a powerful Scottish Black Tiger Shifter, Gavan Drummond, and Blaise Munro, the owner/operator of Kilted Fire, makers of fine single-malt whisky. Blaise’s grandfather dies leaving the distillery to be divided between Gavan and Blaise with Gavan holding the majority share. In order to keep her safe, Gavan offers Blaise a deal—she agrees to be his submissive for a year and at the end of that time, he will sell her his share for one pound sterling.   3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I LOVE the UK and wanted to do a four book series, one book each set in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales   4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Yes! My heroines are strong, intelligent, and caring. These are no weak-willed women who are waiting for the proverbial…

ETERNAL LOVER, which comes out February 22nd, is described as a reissue but with a new story by you. What can you tell me about the anthology, but your story specifically? When I was reading the book description, some of the stories look like historical paranormal ones (which I LOVE), and I know Hannah Howell has done those type of stories before. I love paranormal historicals. That is one of my favorite candies. However, my story isn’t historical. It’s a modern nod to The Mummy (’99) and my hero is basically a mashup of Imhotep and Ardeth Bey. I am really excited to be included in this anthology because it was one that I’d read and loved. I’m a big fan of the other authors in the set.   The third book in your Fairy Godmothers, Inc. series just came out at the end of December. What can you tell me about that series? Can the books be read as standalones? Fairy Godmothers Inc. is what you get if the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus used their powers for mostly good. The series is extra special to me because I went through some really hard times while I was writing…

1–What is the title of your latest release? WHAT THE FANG?, Undead Ever After Book 1 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? I’ll let Sapphyria’s Book Blog tell you since she does it so well. As a magicless witch cast out from her coven, Willa settles in the one place witches don’t belong. She runs Cauldron Boil Books, a bookstore in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, a city run by vampires. She caters to the reading habits of the undead and had made a couple vampire friends. Willa also manages to fly under the radar. That is, until she doesn’t. Upon closure of the bookstore after an event, Willa finds herself the helpless victim of a vampire attack. When she discovers who saves her, Willa’s world quickly upends. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? For my 40th birthday, I had planned a trip with my best friends to Napa Valley. Sadly, this was when Napa Valley had terrible forest fires across the state. On the advice from our travel agent, we ended up going to Charleston instead, which ended up being a blessing in disguise. I absolutely fell in love with Charleston and…

One of my favorite authors – Marie Harte – gave us an interview talking about her new super spicy paranormal romance series. What can you tell me about your new “Between the Shadows” series? I know the most recent installment – Book 2 in the series – came out December 14th. I know it’s about vampires, and that the first two books got sexy facelifts with awesome new covers. What else? I’m so in love with Between the Shadows! It’s a blend of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. The center of this series is the Night Bloode—a clan of murderous vampires who would normally kill each other, but they’re under a spell to become kin (family). Think snarky, vampire band-of-brothers who meet their match in the women they come to love. The Night Bloode clan has been tapped to work for the goddess, Hecate. (Oh, and they hate gods too. Vampires are really arrogant.) She’s gathered them to fight a coming darkness that has the potential to end everything. Hecate has a plan. Force these vampires to find love and they’ll fight heaven and earth to protect it. Each book is a standalone, yet they build up to an ending…

1–What is the title of your latest release? A MOST UNUSUAL DUKE 2–What is it about? Arthur Humphries, Duke of Osborn, made a vow he would never marry; Beatrice, the widowed Marchioness of Castleton, vowed never to wed again, having been married to a feral lupine Shifter. Threats to the wellbeing of both ensure they carry out George’s plan, but as they work together to put Arthur’s home place back to rights, will they be able to resist their growing attraction? (Nope.) Touchstone tropes are grumpy/frosty (my own spin on grumpy/sunshine) and found family.  3–What do you love about the setting of your book?  I am crazy about home renovation shows and the chance to write about a fixer-upper was so much fun. Given the time period, though, there is neither shiplap nor subway tile. 4–How did your heroine surprise you?  Beatrice has a bawdy sense of humor, aided and abetted by her sister-in-law Charlotte. She is slightly naive and doesn’t always get the saucy jokes Charlotte and her husband Ben make, but they make Beatrice want to laugh out loud — which, as a refined lady, she struggles against! 5–Why will readers love your hero?  Arthur is a big,…

Thank you for having me here today! CROOKED SHADOWS picks up right where RARE VIGILANCE leaves off, with our human bodyguard Atlas protecting his vampire charge Cristian as they flee to Romania to escape the strigoi hunting them. In this scene, the pair are visiting the safe house of Cristian’s missing friend Radu, hoping to clues to his whereabouts. *** The alley must have provided access for city workers, because it was small and cramped and functional, rather than charming. It did run alongside the back fences of several yards though, which was exactly what they needed. They relied on the ambient light from the buildings, the lightning’s flashes, and their own strong night vision to work their way closer and closer to Radu’s house. “Well,” Atlas said when they finally stopped on the other side of a tall fence, “we found it.” Cristian gawked up at the security measures at the top of the fence. The wooden slats were cut in decorative patterns, all stake shaped, and two parallel sets of razor wire were set above those. “This seems like overkill.” The low, amused huff of laughter from Atlas blended in with the thunder. “I’ve seen worse.” “You’re kidding.”…

I had an incredible amount of fun writing FURY OF DESTRUCTION (the Dragonfury Series). Gage and Samantha’s story surprised me every step of the way. She’s tenacious, smart, and sassy while struggling to overcome a disability that challenges who she believes herself to be. He’s both tender and tough, a take-no-prisoners kind of guy who makes enemy dragon-warriors fly in the opposite direction. So to say I enjoyed writing about the pair is an understatement. Together, they make for an explosive, passionate, exhilarating combination. So today, in keeping with Gage’s tough guy routine, I’m listing some of the things I think are important for every dragon-warrior to possess. Top 5 Attributes Every Dragon-shifter Should Have: 1–A wicked amount of lethal. (Because you never know when he might need to pull a truckload of vicious out of his bag of tricks to send other dragons fleeing.) 2–Razor-sharp intelligence. (Not only to make quick decisions on the fly, but to catch the other Nightfury warriors cheating at the weekly poker game.) 3–A well-developed sense of humor. (If he can’t laugh at himself, no way he’ll survive a sharp-witted razzing from his fellow dragon-warriors. And honestly, it happens…a lot.) 4–Charm…and bucketsful of it….
