It isn't that romantic...

Ah, February… the month when our hearts and minds are turned to love. If the frilly decorations and heart-shaped boxes of candy won’t do it, then the myriad of romantic films and songs just might.

But despite the candy hearts and chocolate confections; all the shades of pink and flounces of lace, I have a confession to make. Are you ready? … I don’t like Valentine’s Day. As a matter of fact, I dislike it intensely.

Guilty pleasures

Guilty pleasures … those things in life that we love, that we can’t do without, and yet feel guilty about enjoying. It can be because they aren’t intellectual enough or aren’t good for us in some way. It may simply be our egos caving in to peer pressure … that need to fit in.

Whatever our guilty pleasure may be, we indulge — often in secret — because it makes us happy.

Dream Walk now in PRINT!

Take one demon in disguise… add an independent, psychic heroine in distress … now mix in a sexy hero with a sword. There you have the makings of a sizzling paranormal romance!

Join me in celebrating the print release of DREAM WALK, Book 1 of The Sentinels. It’s a slightly different kind of paranormal … an otherworldly story that takes place in Savannah, GA. But it could easily be your own hometown. All you need is a little imagination.

Some nightmares are deadly real.

Camille Bryant is a gifted medium being slowly driven insane by terrifying dreams. When she is forced to accept help from a Sentinel—a mysterious warrior of her race—her comfort zone is quickly invaded. Try as she might, she can’t seem to stop the erotic visions that fill her mind when her rescuer is near.

Ian Spain is a dream walker who’s been assigned to banish the dream demon from Camille’s restless nights. But complications quickly ensue. This is no ordinary demon and Camille is no ordinary woman: both are far stronger than anyone realizes. So strong, Ian suddenly isn’t sure he has the power to vanquish her demon—not when his own hound his every step.

Their passion ignites even as the body count rises and their courage is put to the test in a battle as old as time. Winner takes all.

Warning: Scenes of leather-clad hero may induce spontaneous drooling, erotic fantasies, and unfair comparisons to spouse or significant other.

Seeking hope

Life is filled with ups and downs. Lately it seems the latter want to take over. With the rather hopeless outlook on the economy, international relations and the like, it’s a wonder any of us want to get out of bed in the morning. Where do we turn? What can we do to keep from sinking into dark depression?

Losing my mind

There are few things that make you feel crazy faster than forgetting stuff — appointments, phone numbers, where you put your keys… days you’re supposed to blog. (ahem)

It seems to get worse with age, although I’m still a little too young to blame it on that. My issues seem to stem more from having too damn much to do!

Murder, anyone?

I love a good murder.

Okay, there really isn’t such a thing as a “good” murder, even if the victim is hated by one and all. But I find myself enthralled on a daily basis by tales of crime and mayhem on either television or in books.

My changing faces

I must admit that I’m a bit sad to see Halloween come to an end. It’s one of my favorite holidays — always has been. I love the way our thoughts turn to the supernatural this time of year. I love the candy…the decorations. But what I love most of all is the opportunity it gives me to openly display my other personalities through costume and make-up.
