Formerly an academic, I took up writing romance recently and quite by accident. In early 2022 the right elements conjoined—my love of villains, my taste for high comedy, and my pull towards strong women. Now I can’t stop cooking up plots and drawing new characters. Though I write mostly dark romance, I invariably weave plenty of reality into the fantasy. My preference for lone wolves, quirky characters, and intense plot results in what my reader and author friends call romance with teeth. I live in Berkeley, California with my dachshund-Chihuahua, Pooh-bah. When I’m not writing, I love traveling, cooking, playing piano, and cycling in the nearby hills.

The Senses Series

Happy spring, everyone!

We're looking at a long stretch of summer reading ahead, and I'm sure TBR lists are already two miles deep.

In case anyone has the space for a few more books, I'm bringing out the first four of The Senses series, starting May 31 with The Smell of Fear (1).

The Taste of Deceit (2) and The Feel of Possession (3) will follow on June 30. These books tell the story of Astrid Damic Read more of this blog post »

Under the Olive Groves by Kathleen  Haley
"This was a sitting on the edge of my seat read. Of second chances, fighting for love and chasing the good ending. Lucy and Dimitry's story wasn't smooth sailing and I was quite taken in by the mystery subplot. Kathleen mesmerizes me yet again, blendi" Read more of this review »

The book was gripping, but sadly it didn't have the usual Shen spice. It had next to no spice and almost no sexy situations. The dynamic between Lila and Tiernan was very similar to that between Aisling and Sam in The Monster. Also the same walked-in ...more

One mark of a great book is the reader thoroughly forgetting our world while reading. That's what happened to me while blazing through this novel. The characters were so fully fleshed out, the drama so tense, and the fictional world so true to itself ...more

The characters in this sotry are almost robotic in their reactions and dialogue. Often it seems the author has forgotten about major facts that the reader must remember, like the fact that the FMC isn't wearing a bra--but then suddenly she is when th ...more
