Continue reading →: Snippet: The Best Bite #romance #paranormal
I just released The Best Bite last week. It’s my first foray into young adult romance. Here’s a snippet. Let me know what you think. In this scene Peada has Bastien over for dinner. When she’s cleaning up the kitchen later they share some serious confidences… “Do you need help?”…

I’ve almost finished decorating my office. Paintings have been hung, shelves assembled and books lovingly placed on them. That alone is a feat worth celebrating.

In the back of my mind I think every heroine I write has a lil Shakira in her repertoire. This woman is fearless and truly unapologetic in her expression of sexuality. And I love that rolling R!

Don’t get me wrong, I still love erotic romance. But I confess I’m getting kind of tired of it. Very few authors can sustain my interest when the primary subject matter is sex. There are some who do a great job, but those writers are also fabulous at dialogue, pacing,…
