He was sprawled on a wicker lounge chair by the pool of his late father’s house. The modern styled home sat on the crest of a cliff overlooking the south coast where waves crashed onto the shores below in bursts of white-tipped blue. He straightened up and resumed flicking through a magazine on his lap. Arousal began to plague him as he reflected on a sexual encounter wi

Paranormal romance fiction is a beautiful universe. In the past it was dominated by werewolves and vampires. These days the emergence of several shifter types, especially furry beings, has become common place in the paranormal romance domain. Whatever the flavour or setting you crave: vanilla, spicy, suspense, science fiction and criminal investigation, alternative history and even dystopian-there is something for you. I have an affinity for tiger shifters-I believe tigers are one of most beautiful creatures in the animal kingdom. And vampires are an all-time favourite. In paranormal romance fiction there is a delicious smorgasbord of shifter beings: cheetahs, panthers, hawks and crows. Even hot aliens, demons and angels have found their way into our book pages or ereader screens. Imaginations have been unequivocally stoked by endless possibilities and readers who adore the genre have a whole new heaven to explore-and seven is no longer the highest level of bliss. But what is it

My journey into the paranormal romance genre began with a sexy novella called Hot Fur Stripes, Book 1 in the Striped Passions Series. Now, one thing constant about writing life, is change. And Hot Fur Stripes was no exception. This story was outlined and partially written around 2012 and it wasn’t until about four years later that I decided to dust it off and make it complete. Here are some little to unknown facts about that first book. ~~Hot Fur Stripes, like many stories, was intended to be a standalone but developed into a five book series. ~~The initial setting was in the countryside and not an urban location. ~~The tiger shifter hero of the tale, Terrence Devereux was a custom furniture maker and not a billionaire. And he was a wolf in the original story. ~~Jasmine and Terrence first met at a bar, where he had protected her from being assaulted (he kicked ass of course!). ~~Terrence had moved to the town where Jasmine lived to escape discrimination he was facing because

I hope you're having a great weekend!  Book 5 in the Striped Passions Series is coming your way on July 31st 2018, and I can’t wait for you to read it! “Two special agents, one elusive vigilante and a sizzling, forbidden attraction.” One by one, shifters are turning up dead in Durham City with a note left on their bodies that is as cryptic as the killer’s true motives. Eddie Melinos, paranormal intelligence agent is eager to solve the case and start a new chapter in his life-with a mate. Dana Teslyk, self-proclaimed rolling stone is not keen on getting a partner but bringing a killer to justice is top priority. As they piece together the mystery clue by clue, a fiery passion ignites that pushes the two agents across a forbidden line; and the trail of the vigilante grows colder by the hour. Can they catch the vengeful culprit and stop the murders from climbing? And is there a future for Dana and Eddie whose deepest desires seem to be completely opposite? “This

"When special agents Dana Teslyk and Eddie Melinos are teamed up to solve a case of a killer targeting shifters in Durham City, catching a criminal won’t be their only challenge; a forbidden passion is mounting between them and things are about to get hot and complicated…" ~~The final installment in the Striped Passions Series is coming your way July 31st 2018.~~ See you back here soon!
