About Me:
I began my writing journey while I was stranded at the airport waiting for my delayed flight. I browsed the Border’s kiosk and grew frustrated that I couldn’t find the “it factor” — the perfect combination of alpha male-ness, ass-kickery, strong females, magic, and sex.
So I spent the next four hours on an airplane writing my first book on scraps of paper and an airsick bag (which thankfully I didn’t need to use).
Now I spend too much time in my head, plotting evil villains and the hot men (and women) who ruthlessly kill them. I think far too much about fae politics, dragon power games, and how fast werewolves can change forms. But writing my paranormal romance series has given me a productive place to express those dark places in my mind.
I live in New England with my husband and two kids. Though I will go to my grave denying it, my husband insists I would be thrilled if he suddenly sprouted fangs.

About my books:
I am the author of the bestselling paranormal romance series, Shadows of Destiny. My series includes three novels and one novella, so far. Each book can be read stand alone though the characters make repeat appearances.
What you can expect from my books is action packed adventure, a healthy dose of magic, alpha males, strong women, a twist of darkness, steamy romance, and lots and lots of humor. They are character driven – a man and a woman face insurmountable odds and fall in love. But they do it with a sword in hand, fighting ghoulish creatures, and aren’t afraid to get a little dirty.
I fell in love with the paranormal romance genre because, admittedly, I have a bit of a dark side, but I’m also a sucker for a good love story. I don’t write fluff. Each of my books deals with common struggles we face as human beings; trust, forgiveness, fear, revenge, guilt, love, etc. I listed a few of my favorite quotes from my books so you get an idea of what I’m about. I love interacting with readers, so if you leave comments, I’ll do my best to respond.
Destiny United:
He’d heard it said that love was a soft place one can land when life gets too tough to endure alone. Well, he needed that soft place, because a woman like Aila, could bring a man like him to his knees.
Destiny Unchained:
After he broke the cookie apart, he regarded the fortune thoughtfully.
“Well? What’s it say?”
His brow furrowed. “A handsome blonde will enter your life bearing words of wisdom and a big –”
“Head?”
He looked at her. “Not what I was going to say.”
Destiny Divided: 
“If you steal from me again, I will strip search you every night.”
Her jaw dropped.
“And, I’ll enjoy it.” His eyes twinkled with wicked promises.
For the Love of Harmony:
The large, Victorian-style house sat isolated in the backwoods of a section of Montana that didn’t even have a name. Well, he’d name it now. We’re-fucked-ville.
31 Flavors (contemp BDSM romance due out V-day):
It turns me on, yes, but I can’t stop that tiny thirteen-year-old voice whimpering, what if he does hurt me? What if he betrays me? Nick, the one stable influence in my life. My rock. My one and only love. If I test his trustworthiness, and he fails, I think it would kill me.
