Blog postHey guys!
A lot of you know that I took around a year off (after my stepmother passed away) to do other things and gather myself and recover from burn out!
My plans for 2021 include a new wolf shifter series with another strong, badass heroine--and I'm nearing the end of book one as I write this.
This series is NOT pure romance or reverse harem. There are romantic elements--sort of like the elements in Rune Alexander. (I miss Rune and her crew, btw.)

Supernatural beings exist in Rune Alexander's dark world, and as an agent in her county's law enforcement, it's her job to protect the humans from the various mad vampires, evil shifters, and rogue wolves that roam her city.
When she discovers that an unknown human is abusing the supernatural groups, she and her devoted crew must break the rules and protect the Others from the humans--and they begin to realize the real monsters aren't necessarily the vampires or werewolves.
The real monsters can be all too human.
Haunted by unbearable, shameful secrets and tormented by her past, she seeks redemption in pain and searches desperately for a sweet absolution that continues to elude her.
As she and her crew become embroiled in a bloody battle to save the Others, she can't help but wonder who will save her from herself.

Book three in the Rune Alexander series
A baby necromancer calls her mother from the grave, starting a zombie infestation Rune and the crew are not prepared to handle.
But as always, they jump headlong into battle--a battle that will lead into some of the darkest moments of Rune's life. Moments that will shatter her tenuous grip on sanity and make her long for the man whose abuse allowed her to function.
And when she falls, the berserker is there to catch her. To bring her back. To give her what she needs.
The zombies are just the beginning. Worse even than the zombies is what comes after--a nightmare witch named Damascus, a horrific decision, and death.
Always, death.
As she is given another jagged piece to the puzzle of her past, Rune knows that despite its best attempts, life doesn't have the ability to destroy her--though she offers it all the help it might need.
With Strad Matheson and the crew behind her, Rune will stride through hell, horror, and the endless, black despair of her own mind to show the monsters why Shiv Crew is the scariest group of warriors they will ever face...

Shiv Crew is back in book two of the Rune Alexander series.
Rune and the crew--some of them a little healthier, some of them a little more battered--take on new monsters and unbelievable surprises in Blood and Bite.
While Rune is keeping her promise to Ellis and trying to get her mind fixed, the berserker goes away to take care of some business--mysterious business he doesn't share with Shiv Crew.
What he brings back with him knocks the wind out of Rune and makes her question everything she thought she knew about Strad Matheson.
But the worst is yet to come.
With a mad vampire master she must destroy, a child she must save, and unimaginable screams from a past she has to ignore, Rune has her hands full. But there is always something new and terrible waiting in River County--waiting, it seems, just for her.
Because just when she thinks she can't possibly handle one more terrible thing, she discovers a shocking truth about herself, her blood, and her bite.

****THE SILVERLIGHT SERIES IS A REVERSE HAREM SERIES****
Six months ago Angus Stark was sent to prison, and no one on the outside has seen him since. Denied the visitor passes that would get her into the prison, Trinity grows more desperate with each passing day, convinced something terrible is happening to him.
She's not wrong.
When the sentencing judge's wife goes missing, Captain Crawford brings Trinity in to help track the woman. She agrees to find Madalyn Bennett--if the judge will let her visit Angus.
After her visit is granted, Trinity becomes even more convinced Angus is in trouble. With her sexy hunting partner at her side, she sets out to track the judge's missing wife.
Every single one of her supernaturals--her men--gather around her to help her free Angus Stark. Because the judge has agreed--if she finds his wife alive, he will give Angus back to her.
As problems arise and the vampire master's hold on her tightens, Clayton's very existence is threatened, and Angus’s situation becomes critical, Trinity discovers that battling demons and killing vampires might be the very least of her troubles...

"5 stars. All the fucking stars."

"This second installment is less dark than the first book but is a hell of a roller coaster. It's still very complex, fucked up, bloody, violent and the feels were everywhere. Sadness, anger, love, tenderness, cruelty. Everywhere and in everyone. It's beautiful, painful and wonderfully done."

May contain triggers for some readers.
Six months ago Angus Stark was sent to prison, and no one on the outside has seen him since. Denied the visitor passes that would get her into the prison, Trinity grows more desperate with each passing day, convinced something terrible is happening to him.
She's not wrong.
When the sentencing judge's wife goes missing, Captain Crawford brings Trinity in to help track the woman. She agrees to find Madalyn Bennett--if the judge will let her visit Angus.
After her visit is granted, Trinity becomes even more convinced Angus is in trouble. With her sexy hunting partner at her side, she sets out to track the judge's missing wife.
Every single one of her supernaturals--her men--gather around her to help her free Angus Stark. Because the judge has agreed--if she finds his wife alive, he will give Angus back to her.
As problems arise and the vampire master's hold on her tightens, Clayton's very existence is threatened, and Angus’s situation becomes critical, Trinity discovers that battling demons and killing vampires might be the very least of her troubles...

"This second installment is less dark than the first book but is a hell of a roller coaster. It's still very complex, fucked up, bloody, violent and the feels were everywhere. Sadness, anger, love, tenderness, cruelty. Everywhere and in everyone. It's beautiful, painful and wonderfully done."

Rune and her people have been taken under the mysterious wing of the Annex, an agency that works toward Other equality.
But with the new regime comes changes and some monstrous enemies the Annex seems to have brought with it.
The crew finds themselves up against a group called the Shop, whose leader cares only about his lab and the monsters he creates there.
But he hasn't been able to build monsters he can use or sell...until now.
Now Rune must follow a path of horror that leads from a little werefox named Megan to a town full of evil in Reverence, Kentucky, and find a way to defeat something worse than blades or guns or bombs.
Magic.
She can't use her claws on magic.
Can she?

She and her crew will fight with everything they've got to defeat the evil, even if some of that darkness lives inside each one of them.
Because they're Shiv Crew, and that is what they do.

Gruesome murders begin to pop up in River County, and Rune is introduced to the bird shifters--to one bird in particular, a woman named Cree Stark.
When she gets a whiff of the shifters' scents where COS had been executing a gruesome sacrifice, Rune begins to suspect the birds know more about the slayers--and the twins--than they're willing to admit.
Nothing is more important to Shiv Crew than finding Levi and Denim, but when Lex psychically connects with the twins, it isn't good news she brings back.
As always, COS is at the center of it all.
The world is beginning to look at the church differently, thanks to the tireless work of Bill Rice and others like him. The humans' acceptance is turning to fear.
And what people fear, they hate.
But they slayers aren't finished, and what they're planning next will either finish them for good or give them everything they've ever wanted--Karin Love and unchallenged power.
Rune and the crew race against time to save River County from the biggest monster they've faced yet.
If they fail, the church will be closer than ever to their dream of creating an Otherless world.
In Obsidian Wings, Rune hides a devastating physical weakness, makes an important choice in her love life, and gains a new understanding that will help her face the future.
No matter what happens, their world is changing.
The crew is growing.

First he tried to kill her. Now, he's obsessed with her.
Six years ago Trinity Sinclair was the victim of a brutal vampire attack. The assault changed her into something she has only recently begun to understand, and connects her in unimaginable ways to her attacker.
But the dominating vampire who attacked her doesn't want to kill her. He wants to keep her alive.
Unfortunately, keeping Trinity alive won't be easy when nearly every vampire in existence wants her dead.
As a Bloodhunter, she is one of the very few humans in the world who can give a vampire his true death--and there is nothing worse or more terrifying to a vampire than true death.
Luckily for Trinity, she doesn't have to fight alone. She has a special sword and six protective people at her back-- The vampire master who attacked her, a mysterious hunter, and four incredible--and hot--supernaturals.
And she is as passionately drawn to them as they are to her--emotionally and physically.
Her unquenchable thirst for blood is matched by a primal, undeniable lust, and Trinity realizes she is in more danger of losing her heart and soul than she ever was of losing her life.

A dangerous enemy returns and threatens the city and everyone Krista loves, and the only thing that might stop him is sacrifice.
The question is, whose?
When a powerful demon lord discovers he has the ability to steal souls to gain power, Krista Lennox and the Edgefield Slayers must face a darkness like they've never known to protect the city's most vulnerable humans.
Surrounded by the men who love her and beginning to accept the desires of her heart, Krista embraces her life—hard battles, hot nights, powerful magic…
And dangerous darkness.
Is she strong enough to resist the darkness, or will she finally surrender to its seductive call?
