Interview Excerpt
Next: Book 2 of a four-part, generational, paranormal romance antholog
I’ll also be heading back to the beach with a spicy new Last Chance Beach book.
Social media is an ever-changing mystery to me. I simply try to share things I enjoy and that interest me.
Author bundles: My first experience collaborating with other authors began during this pandemic, and it gave a BIG BOOST to my writer’s soul! I love intertwining stories now, sharing characters and locations like Dickens and Last Chance Beach.
Romance Gems has taught me SO MUCH and continues to do so! The other Gem authors are always quick to help with writing, marketing, and publishing questions. I adore the Romance Gems.
Book launch: I spend a lot of time promoting on social media and visiting reader blogs once the pre-order is available.
Primary genre: My roots are in Time Travel Romance, which can also be considered Fantasy or Paranormal Romance.
Authors News section on your website: Time is one thing I wish I had more of. It's challenging to write while keeping up with the social and business side of things.

Driven by revenge, she'll do whatever it takes!
Cassidy Santino is closing in on the mobsters who murdered her brother and there’s no way she’s giving up her quest for revenge. Working at a seedy bar where the gang members hang out, she digs up information that might lead to finding his killers. When jealous hookers and sleazy barmaids try forcing her to leave, she fights back.
For the love of an old rascal who owns the neighborhood gym, she helps train his protégé in the boxing ring.
For her sanity, she clings to her relationship with the one man who makes her feel like a woman.
Detective Trace McGuire loses his mother, the person who’s meant everything to him until Cassidy Santino explodes into his life. This chick’s got him so tied up that he’s willing to shirk responsibilities in his job and cut her slack for interfering in his investigation.
But when Cassidy keeps putting herself in danger from the lunatic who owns the bar where she works, that’s where he draws the line… even if she fights him every damn inch of the way.
And man… can this girl fight!

Featured Book: Special Agent Hunter
Detective Cora Taylor isn’t expecting the cop who’d haunted her dreams for ten years to return and find her drunk, wearing a torn wedding dress, and surrounded with tiny, white puppies. Go figure her rotten luck. The last time they’d met, she’d been a sweet-looking rookie too fearful to shoot a killer who ended up later murdering a family of four.
Guilt from that night changed her into a speed demon, a hardened detective with colorful language… in fact a whole new persona. One who wears too much makeup, bleaches her short messy hair, and has developed many professional skills that earn everyone’s respect.
Agent Kal Hunter remains flummoxed by the altered vision of the pony-tailed rookie he remembers to the sexy woman he sees today. Being OCD about most things in his world this unconventional female rings his bell constantly. Besides his need to have her assistance in stopping the ten-year-old, cold-case killer who’s again on a rampage, there is something about her he can’t resist.
She’s her own boss, a cop who has no illusions. Yet when her shell is penetrated, there’s sweetness that rips a man to pieces. He has only one worry.
When they meet up with the savage killer this time, will… can she take the shot?

Growing up the only child of divorced parents she longed for sisters, brothers and a family that vowed to stick together no matter what came their way.
