Halloween Countdown Day 31--Wolf of her Own

Happy Halloween!

It's been a month of werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters, and more. I hope you've enjoyed the countdown as much as I have.

Have a safe and fun holiday.

Here's the final book--at least for now--of the Salvation Pack.

Wolf of her Own
Salvation Pack, Book 9

Mikhail Matheson may be an outsider in Salvation, but he stays with the pack to be close to his sister. It has nothing to with the fact that Elise—the most fascinating woman he’s ever laid eyes on—is part of the pack. Mikhail has wanted Elise for years, but being with her could cost him his life. Soon he’ll have to decide if he’s going to leave the pack or risk it all to pursue a place at her side.
                                       
After escaping her abusive mate, Elise LaForge has made a home in Salvation with her sons. She never expected to have her emotions stirred up by the always serious and seriously handsome Mikhail. But can she finally put her past behind her and dare to move on?
                                             
When danger creeps into the pack, both she and Mikhail have to be willing to sacrifice everything to have a chance at love.

Halloween Countdown Day 30--Wolf in his Soul

Wolf in her Soul is very unique in that it had two separate "new" release dates. It was the last book of mine released by Samhain Publishing before they closed their doors and was only available for a week. So when Entangled Publishing signed me, they decided to edit it again and launch it anew. The two versions of the books are mostly the same, but there have been some cuts in the newer version to make it a bit tighter.


Wolf in her Soul     
Salvation Pack, Book 8

Detective Reece Gallagher has spent the last decade working as a cop in Chicago so he can search for her—the red-haired woman who haunts his dreams. He’s just about ready to give up and go home to Salvation, North Carolina, when he finally finds her. But she’s the assault victim on a case he’s working on, and there’s a full-blooded werewolf who wants her dead. He needs to keep her safe and convince her she’s his mate.

Hannah Burdette has a secret she’s never told anyone. But there is someone who knows who—or rather, what—she is. There’s a stalker after her who plans to rid the world of her “impure” blood. When the cop she meets turns out to be a werewolf and claims she doesn’t have to be alone anymore, she’s wary. But where better to hide from a bloodthirsty hunter than in the middle of North Carolina with the security of a pack surrounding her?

Halloween Countdown Day 29--Wolf in his Heart


Wolf in his Heart
Salvation Pack, Book 7

Half-breed werewolf Sage Gallagher can’t shift, but he’s a member of the Salvation Pack and a wolf where it counts. When he finds who he thinks is a lost hiker while camping in the Great Smoky Mountains, he’s surprised to find she’s a full-blooded wolf who ignites in him the instinct to take her home to where he and his pack can protect her, no matter how skeptical and untrusting she is of his offer.

After Rina rejects her parents’ choice for a mate, she’s exiled from her pack. That’s a dangerous position for any wolf to be in. Now she has a human hunter on her trail. Rina doesn’t trust easily, especially not half-breeds—who she was raised to fear and revile. But there’s something about Sage that calls to her. Soon Rina’s in more danger than ever—danger of losing her heart.

Halloween Countdown Day 28--Wolf on a Mission

Wolf on the Hunt was supposed to be the final Salvation Pack book, but I wasn't ready to let this pack go just yet.


Wolf on a Mission
Salvation Pack, Book 6

Elias Gallagher is the guardian of his teenage nephews, and he knows the world’s not a safe place for a werewolf without pack—especially if they’re half-breeds, like the twin boys. He’s heard there’s an accepting pack in North Carolina, so that’s where he’s headed when he runs into the one person he’d given up hope of ever finding—his mate. Even more surprising than finding his mate, is realizing she’s human.

Sue Walsh is solely focused on taking care of her five-year-old son. With her ex fighting her for custody and local hunters making her life complicated, she doesn’t have time for an attraction to a ruggedly handsome stranger, especially one with a secret that is going to rock her world.

Thank you for 16 years!

 

16 years and 106 book releases ago, my first book was published by Ellora's Cave on October 27, 2004. What a strange and wonderful ride it's been since the release of Annabelle Lee (currently available as Uncovering Annabelle.)


Since then, I've had books published with Samhain Publishing, Carina Press, Beyond the Page Publishing, The Naughty Literati, and Entangled Publishing, not to mention the indie anthologies I've been a part of.




(Some original covers and some reprint covers. Not all books are currently available.)


Thank you to all the publishers, editors, fellow writers, and readers for making it possible for me to make my living as a writer. It's been a gift to me.

I'm hoping this continues for many years to come.

Halloween Countdown Day 27--Wolf on the Hunt


Wolf on the Hunt
Salvation Pack, Book 5

Gray Everson is sure she’s found the perfect quiet place to work on her paintings, until hunters start shooting up the forest around the cabin she rented and she finds a wounded wolf. But the animal she hides from the hunters is no regular wolf—he’s something Gray never imagined could be real.

Louis LaForge’s focus has always been on protecting his pack, but the instant attraction he feels to the artist who saves him changes everything. There’s something about Gray he can’t figure out—until he gets close enough to touch her. He knows pushing Gray too far, too fast is risky, but there are still hunters around, and his former pack is coming for him. There’s only one way to protect everyone he loves.

Fury Unleashed

Forgotten Brotherhood, Book 1

 

Maccus Fury, a fallen angel, is trying hard to keep his sanity. Seems being an assassin might be catching up with him. Now, Heaven, or Hell, has sent a beautiful assassin to kill him. Lovely. She’s pretending to seduce him, and he’s okay with that. She’s smart and snarky—but she has no idea what she’s walked into. And he’s more than peeved that they only sent one person. They’re going to need an army if they want him dead.

Morrigan Quill is one of Hell’s bounty hunters. She sold her soul to keep her sister safe, and now she’s working off her contract by catching bad guys and dragging them back to hell. When Lucifer makes her a new offer––that’s definitely too good to be true—she can’t say no. All she has to do is kill a powerful and crazy-hot fallen angel, who will totally kick her ass in battle.

Halloween Countdown Day 26--Wolf from the Past

Gator Rollins has a way about him. He made me fall in love with him with a wink and a smile. He loves to cook and seems very laid back, but beneath that veneer is a very deadly werewolf.


Wolf from the Past
Salvation Pack, Book 4

For years, everyone believed Sylvie LaForge Dubois was dead, and she worked hard to keep it that way. Now that her abusive, dangerous mate is dead, she’s come back to face everyone. But it’s harder than she thought it would be, especially when Gator Rollins watches her every move, making her uneasy and excited all at once. She never imagined she’d want another man, but her attraction to Gator is too strong to fight.

Before Gator had the chance to tell Sylvie how he felt about her, she was mated to someone else and then killed. Now she’s back, and there’s nothing he won’t do to protect her and get that second chance he never thought he’d have.

But Sylvie is in more danger than ever when her old pack learns she’s still alive And if they get to her, there’s no coming back from the dead twice.

Halloween Countdown Day 25--Wolf on the Run

Cole Blanchard is the strong, silent type who has no need to prove to anyone just how tough and dangerous he is. He has a very strong code of right and wrong and will do anything to protect his pack and those he cares about. He is one very special werewolf.


Wolf on the Run
Salvation Pack, Book 3

Cherise and her mother had to run from their pack when everyone realized Cherise couldn’t shift. Now her mother’s gone, murdered by the hunters after them, and Cherise is all alone and out of options. When the people she’s running from catch up to her in Salvation, North Carolina, she’s saved by the biggest, baddest werewolf she’s ever seen.

Disposing of the intruders on his pack’s land is easy for Cole, but convincing the skittish woman the trespassers were after that she’s safe is another story. He recognizes her as his mate right off, and he’ll protect her no matter what, even if it means risking everything to face her former pack.

Cherise never thought she’d find a wolf she could trust, but she’s never met a Salvation wolf before now, and her mate is not about to let anything come between them.

If timing is everything, this is the worst possible time to meet his mate—especially a human mate. But now that he’s found her, he can’t let her go, even though dragging her into his world means she’s a target now, too.

Halloween Countdown Day 23--Wolf at the Door

My Salvation Pack series is one of my most popular. It all started with the premise, "What if a group of 5 strong werewolves broke away from their pack?" Then I had to ask myself why they would do such a thing and how such a group dynamic would work since a wolf pack is all about dominance.

Writing this series has been an incredible joy. I love them all so much.


Wolf at the Door

Salvation Pack, Book 1

Gwendolyn Jones is working on an article about werewolves, not that she believes they exist. But there are people out there who do, like the nervous man who slips her a flash drive with information he claims will prove to the world shifters are out there. Gwen starts questioning just what to believe when two very real werewolves come knocking on her cabin door later that night.
                         
Someone has a flash drive with pictures that could endanger his pack, and alpha Jacque LaForge will do whatever it takes to destroy it. But the something deep inside him ignites when he knocks on the door of that “someone”. He didn’t think he’d find a mate, or that when he did, she’d be human. But now that he has found Gwen, he knows he has a fight on his hands to protect her from his former vengeful pack who are out to hurt him by any means necessary.

Halloween Countdown Day 22--Craig's Heart

I always assumed Damek's Redemption would be the final book in the Legacy series. Then one day, Craig Lawton tapped me on the shoulder one day and said, "What about me?" Turns out, there was one final story left to tell.


Craig’s Heart
Legacy, Book 7

This vampire’s heart is far from silent

Craig Lawton’s best friend is an ancient vampire and his two siblings are half werewolf, so he’s used to being the only human in the room. When he tries to help a new vampire in the throes of her transformation, he goes from “normal” to “paranormal”.

Left in an alley to become a monster like the one that attacked her, Evie Pelowski is confused, alone, and unable to control the strange bloodlust surging through her veins. When a Good Samaritan tries to help her, she’s does the unforgivable and turns him into a monster too.

They have a bond ignited by blood, but trust is hard won, even though Craig’s still determined to help her. But the vampire who turned Evie is out there, and both she and Craig have a new reality and future to face.

Halloween Countdown Day 21--Damek's Redemption

Damek fascinated me from the moment he stepped onto the page. This enigmatic vampire is a somewhat reluctant friend to many of the werewolves in this series. I knew he had to have his own book.



Damek’s Redemption
Legacy, Book 6   


Reality bites.

Sonia Agostino comes from a family of Keepers, humans charged with helping paranormal creatures in the modern world. Her research into myths and legends has led her to Inhibitions, a nightclub in Chicago. She suspects the reclusive and enigmatic owner could be the one paranormal creature she has never met—a vampire—only he won’t agree to see her.

One look at Sonia, and Damek knows she’s a serious threat to the disciplined routine that keeps his bloodlust in check. She’s also unwittingly led vampire hunters far too close for comfort. But in spite of the dangers and the complications, Damek can’t refuse her.

Sonia finds her loyalties tested, and they’re both faced with choices that will change their lives forever.

Legacy, Book 4

They’re wrong for each other…perfectly wrong.

Bethany escapes a crazy doctor’s laboratory, but she’s unable to help Chrissten, the other woman kept captive there. How can she explain to the authorities that during the escape Chrissten shifted into a wolf, and she was kidnapped by the doctor in the first place because she might be part werewolf? Desperate for help and guilt-ridden for leaving Chrissten, her only hope is to find the woman’s twin brother.

Quinn has been searching for his missing sister without a single clue, until a phone call from a stranger rekindles his hope. Something sparks between Quinn and Bethany when they meet, but he doesn’t think he’ll be a good mate for anyone, let alone someone as gentle as Bethany. He’ll help her through the heat cycle she’s going into, but he can’t offer her a future. Of course, fate and biology might have other ideas…

Halloween Countdown Day 18--Legacy Found

This is a very special book. It wasn't an easy one to write as it deals with some very dark subjects. James and Shelley are an example of resilience and the ability of the human heart to heal.

Lure of the Jaguar is the final book in the Hades' Carnival series. This is a very special series to me as a writer. I really pushed myself to do something different and loved every minute of it.

When wildlife photographer Toni Richards is almost kidnapped her, she’s shocked when the rare jaguar who saves her then morphs into a man—a sexy man with a tattoo of a snarling jaguar on his back.


Good judgment flies out the window, and Stavros lets his animal instincts reign. Now that he’s found Toni, he can never let her go. He just hopes she’ll forgive him for what he must do to protect her soul.
