But when I do get stuck on something, I'm very blessed to have a husband who will brainstorm through the problems. "Hunny! Okay...so...let me read this to you and perhaps you can help me figure out how we're going to end this." And the brainstorming ensues! Hubby and I had a session on Sunday...ALL DAY long we chatted about stories! At least until I fried his brain. Then I wrote down everything we talked about.(less)

Hi, Dawn!! Thanks for asking the question!

Well, it depends on how you use the term "paranormal creature". So far, I've written about vampires, hybrid vampires, werewolves, Norse wolf shifters, seal shifters (Selkies), Elementals (magic users with the powers of the earth), and I'm working on Finfolk, a kind of Norse fae creature. And ALL of these are in my Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles. In one of my short erotic stories, I've written about ghosts.

I have a fantasy series in the works which features dragons, unicorns, dwarves, elves, hobbits/halflings, dark elves...and soooo many more. So if you consider those paranormal creatures, then YES! I have a TON I want to write about. :D

Thanks again for asking!!(less)

How Amazon Quietly Killed My Pen Name

Pixar-style illustration of a salt-and-pepper–haired woman author crying at her laptop in a cozy home office, fists clenched and tears streaming as she struggles with writing and creative burnout, surrounded by papers, books, and coffee mugs under warm desk lighting.

Let me tell you a fun little horror story.

For years, I published under the pen name Arial Burnz.

Stylish. Edgy. Genre-appropriate. Or so I thought.

Then Amazon decided my name was wrong after they tweaked their engine.

Moving forward, every time readers searched for me, Amazon “helpfully” corrected Burnz to Burns. As in: No, sweetie, that can’t possibly be a Z.

Result?
My books stopped showing up.

“Hear this now. Nothing, not even death, will keep me from loving you. Though this body may wither and become a dry shell, my spirit will pursue you until the end of time. We will never be apart.” He covered her mouth with his and tasted her blood. Trailing tender kisses across her cheek and jawline, he nestled against her neck. “Eternally yours,” he whispered. She clutched his head and offered her throat. “Together forever,” she responded. Broderick hesitated, her erratic pulse beating against his tongue. “Give me peace,” she whispered in a tortured breath. “Do this for me.” “I will love you forever, Davina.” His fangs pierced her cool skin and Broderick drank the life from his wife, granting her wish…and tormenting his already damned soul.”

“I want the taste of you on my soul.”
