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 »

The vision of BDSM in this book is very condescending and not what a partner would wish for in a BDSM partnership. The MMC says (toward the end), "I will enable you to be the best version of yourself that you can be." But there is no equivalent state ...more
