BOUND IN BLUE
Spellbinding book 2
Rachel may be a blue witch, but she’s definitely not going to let that rule her life. Her art is much more important than joining a coven and fighting the so-called Darkness, if they even exist, which she doubts. Taking a summer job as an art teacher and counselor at a motivational camp is just what she needs to focus on her art and discover what she really wants out of life.
It’s just Hunter’s luck that he draws the short straw this year. The Chicago lawyer has managed to avoid working at his boss’s yuppie motivational camp for the past three years, but if he wants to make partner, he’s got to suck it up and work as the camp’s legal advisor and counselor. The experienced Dom isn’t exactly the roughing-it type, but he’ll do what he has to do for his dream job.
Catching a glimpse of the beautiful Rachel skinny-dipping under the light of the full moon, Hunter is determined to take her to his dungeon. But their torrid connection is threatened when people begin to disappear. When Rachel discovers that the Darkness are real, and she’s their intended target, she’ll be forced to chose between the coven life she’d spurned and the man she’s dying to belong to.
WANTING IN WHITE
Spellbinding Book 3
Morgan the white witch has had enough. Her familiar is a bird-brain (quite literally) her career is in the toilet, and her coven is full of party-girls who can’t focus on keeping the Darkness at bay. Added to the fact that her love life is as empty as the Arizona desert, and you’ve got a woman who needs a helluva lot more than a vibrator to ease her frustrations.
Caleb’s got a lot on his mind as well. The undercover FBI agent is working to unveil a drug trafficking ring over the border, and the delectable Morgan is an unwelcome distraction. If his overwhelmed libido ruins his mission, there’ll be hell to pay.
Getting involved with Caleb, while completely delicious, becomes more and more dangerous when she realizes that he’s involved with a drug cartel. And when Morgan discovers that the criminals have deep ties to the Darkness that she’s sworn to fight, she’ll have to decide whether to be loyal to her coven or to the man who has her heart.

Writing Scary that’s Sexy- How I do Erotic Horror (part 1)
3 AprSo since SINFUL TRUTH releases in about, oh, seventeen days (GULP) I thought it might behoove me (yes, I used “behoove” in a sentence) to talk a little bit about erotic horror, and my process for writing it.
Then I realized in order for me to talk about the process, I’d have to actually have had one.
Then I realized that I did write it, so even though I didn’t think about having a process, I must have had one. Ergo, this blog to help me (and you!) figure out how I created this scary yet sexy brainchild.
It all started when my loverly editor Carrie said, “HEY. Write me an erotic horror. Kthxbai.” It might have been a bit more involved than that, but not a helluva lot. Erotic horror? Well, I’ve read and written a good bit of erotic, and I’d read a lot of horror in my teenage years, but I’d never read anything that combined the two before. But since I heart Carrie, and would grovel across fiery shards of broken glass just to please her, (it’s amazing what those tiny editor-shaped nuggets of praise will do for a writer) I jumped right in.
I started SINFUL TRUTH as I’ve started my last few books-with a blurb.
Huh?
Yes, that’s what I said. A blurb. Like the blob of interesting text on the back of the book? I write that first. It’s a lot easier to expand a three-paragraph blurb into a novel, short story, or novella, than it is to condense a 100K-word monster into three paragraphs.
So, for your delight and edification, this was the blurb that popped into my head at CarrieJEditor’s command:
Bryerly Keats did a bad, bad thing. Her boyfriend, Rafe, told her to stay with the car, but when she heard those screams, she couldn’t stay put. The murder she witnessed that night was just the first.
Rafe and his friends know Bry saw what they did. They can’t afford to let anyone know about their plans. They’ll silence her for good. When a whole town turns against Bry and her tales, she’ll have to depend on a complete stranger to save her life.
But the stranger doesn’t work for free. And his price is the one thing that Bry isn’t sure she can face:
An Eternity with the Truth Keeper
I sent it to Carrie with a “is this kind of what you were thinking?” note, and she fired back a yes, with a ton of questions, one of which was “What exactly is a Truth Keeper?” Well, yanno, I thought, I have no bloody idea.
Check back tomorrow for part TWO of the How I did it: Erotic Horror series. And be sure to leave a comment below!
