Now that he’s found me, Lucifer will never let me go. Always popping up in the most inconvenient places, my bed, my dreams, trying to seduce me with his wicked ways. It’s all I can do to resist his charms and there’s nowhere on Earth I can hide from him.
But I’m tired of running. I want to stick it out and fight my own battles. It’s time I learned how to use my gifts – if I could just figure out how. And I’d better figure it out fast, as now he’s throwing demons at me, left and right, trying to get me to develop my power.
Luckily, I have Mom, Adam, and Michael to keep an eye out for me while I’m learning what I can do. Michael’s been teaching me to fight and wield my Grace against demons and anything else Lucifer throws my way.
The problem is, the more time I spend with Michael, the closer I want to get to him. Sometimes I think maybe he feels the same. Sometimes, I think maybe we stand a chance. And then I’m reminded that’s strictly forbidden unless he wants to end up among the Fallen.
Unless you believe the prophecies about me. They say I need to choose between the dark and the light. Only it’s hard to interpret what I’m supposed to do. Is choosing Michael the path to salvation or sin? Or will choosing Lucifer lead to damnation or a chance at redemption for everyone?
This is a sequel to The Fallen series, picking up with Mercy’s daughter, Eve, about twelve years later. Secrets of the Fallen is a completed series of two books, Eve of Awakening and Eve of Redemption, and will be better enjoyed after reading The Fallen series, starting with Angel of Mercy.

I don’t know when my birthday is. That’s not the weirdest thing about me.
I don’t know what my actual name is either. That’s also not the weirdest thing about me.
We move around a lot, and each time we hit a new town, each time I go to a new school, Mom lets me pick a new name. Anything I want. We made a game of it. A new town, a new life.
Also, my mom looks the same now as she did seventeen years ago in a picture I found of her, pregnant with me. But this is also not the weirdest thing in my life.
The weirdest thing about me? Sometimes I’m invisible.
No, seriously. It happens all the time, people legit don’t see me. On the plus side, I never get called on in class, and I’ve done my share of movie theater hopping without getting busted. But I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost been hit by a car, even if I wave to make sure they know I’m there before I cross. Nobody ever notices me.
So you can understand how strange it was to find myself being hunted by demons.
It turns out my whole life is a lie. Who I am, where I’m from, more importantly – what I am.
There’s a reason why Mom looks the same as she did seventeen years ago. There’s a reason why we move from place to place at the drop of a hat, never making friends or connections. Apparently, I’ve been in hiding my whole life, and I never knew it.
Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness himself, has been chasing after me because he wants to breed a new race of man with me, thanks to my angelic heritage. Ick. Even if the guy is brutally hot, just… no.
On the plus side, I have a lot of angels looking out for me, including my own guardian angel who’s sexy enough to make me want to beg for twenty-four-hour protection. Only he’s sworn me to absolute secrecy, no one can know he’s revealed himself to me or he risks being cast out of Heaven.
And then there’s Michael. I’ve been crushing on him for years, even if he only ever comes to me in dreams. I never expected to walk into my new school and find him teaching my English class. It turns out he’s real too and he’s ready to protect me at any cost – even if it hurts us both.
It’s easy to be an idiot for love, and boy, am I an idiot sometimes.
This is a sequel to The Fallen series, picking up with Mercy’s daughter, Eve, about twelve years later. Secrets of the Fallen is a completed series of two books, Eve of Awakening and Eve of Redemption, and will be better enjoyed after reading The Fallen series, starting with Angel of Mercy.

The Things You Say is live!
Here is the link on Amazon, I’ll update when the other links are available.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZJD4V93
Everyone deserves a chance at happily ever after, don’t they? Even a proper villain and a damaged little dove.
Rob
I’ve always known the happy ending bit wasn’t for me. A proper villain, I’ve done things that don’t deserve that patch of happiness. Something needs doing, I do it. Don’t care much what it is, long as it keeps me in tea and trousers. So, when I got the offer to go up north for a spell, I didn’t think twice about working for another vamp, it was time to move on. Only the last thing I expected to find in the house of the Jarl of the Pacific Northwest was her.
She moved like a delicate flower in the breeze, in pink dance togs that clung to her like a second skin from neck to knees, a gauzy skirt flowing against her as she danced. Sable hair spilled down her back, floating every which way when she spun, like it had a life of its own.
What in the name of all fuckery was she doing here?
Olivia
Seven years. Seven years since I’d last laid eyes on Rob, and there he was.
Same old Robby. The same whiff of bay rum aftershave and his own distinct scent I’d all but forgotten. The lilt of his rough accent reminded me of home and set off a different kind of longing. God strike me, he looked just as tempting as always.
This wouldn’t do at all. I couldn’t let him ruin everything.
Seven long years since I found Heaven and Hell in a single day. But I had to shut that all away in the past again and keep playing the role of Peyton’s sweet little dove. I had to keep focused or it would all be for nothing.
This story continues with the situation that I set up at the end of Know Me When the Sun Goes Down. If you haven’t read that one (or all of the previous Forged Bloodlines series), please stop and go back and read those first as well as Fated Love in this Fated Bloodlines series. Otherwise, this book won’t make as much sense or the stakes won’t be nearly as high.
Up next I’m working on continuing with the sequel to The Fallen series, Secrets of the Fallen, picking up with Mercy’s daughter Eve.
Is This Thing On?
*Blows the dust off the page*
Okay, so… I guess I haven’t written anything since October of 2018. For a long time, I wasn’t sure I could, I’ve been so disheartened. Work has been so soul sucking I haven’t had the brain space to write, even if I had the time, and then the whole pandemic, blah… blah… blah…
Then I started writing Rob’s book in early 2022 and it started off strong until I lost momentum and that fizzled out. It’s been a busy couple of years since then, changing jobs, moving across the country, getting used to a different climate (humidity sucks!). So, when I started writing again a few weeks ago, I didn’t want to announce it since my last effort crashed and burned.
But now I can confirm I have completed Rob’s book!!! The Things You Say should be going live soon and I’ll post the links here. Rob’s story continues with the situation that I set up at the end of Know Me When the Sun Goes Down. If you haven’t read that one (or all of the previous Forged Bloodlines series), please stop and go back and read those first as well as Fated Love in this Fated Bloodlines series. Otherwise, this book won’t make as much sense or the stakes won’t be nearly as high.

Could you give up the one you love to save their life?
Thanks to Anja’s knowledge of events to come, Mason knows bringing Hanna into vampire society will cause her heartache and pain. Can he sacrifice his own happiness to keep her safe and whole? Or are some things fated to be?
This series continues after Know Me When the Sun Goes Down. If you haven’t read that one (or all of the previous Forged Bloodlines series), stop and go back and read those first. Otherwise this book won’t make as much sense or the stakes won’t be nearly so high. This book belongs primarily to Hanna and Mason, but there are a couple of chapters from Anja’s POV, I couldn’t resist giving you a little window into what’s going on with them next.
Next up… I actually have no idea what I’ll be working on next. Sound off in the comments with which series or book you’d like to see next!

I can’t tell you what happens in this book.
All can say is, pour yourself a shot of aquavit, grab a box of tissues, and hang on.
It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
And nothing will ever be the same again.

(I’ll keep adding them as they become available.)
As Beta for the Cutter’s Folly pack, it’s up to Chase LaRoche to find the rogue shifter that’s leaving a trail of dead bodies to their back door. Imagine his surprise when he finds a hunter camped out, already on the job? And not just a hunter, but a Hunter, the kind that targets the supernatural. Tagging along with her is probably the dumbest thing he can do. Can he keep what he is a secret? And can he keep from wanting to devour her himself?
Emma Hale thinks she knows all about werewolves. She learned how to track almost before she could walk. Hanging out at the mall, friendships, the prom – none of those things mattered, because she accepted her father’s word that ridding the world of werewolves is her true calling. When she stumbles across Chase in the woods, naked and caught in one of her traps, it never occurs to her to fear him. He’s too charming to be the rogue wolf she’s after. But she might just be in danger of losing her heart.
*** Chase the Moon is a shifter paranormal romance with steamy sex and violence, and should not be read by those under 18. It can be read as a stand alone book, or as part of The Wolves of Cutter’s Folly, and has a HEA. ***
Next up I’m working on Book 12 of the Forged Bloodlines series.

Forget everything you know about Forged Bloodlines – all bets are off, anything can happen.
Anja, Bishop, Carys, Aubrey, Rob, Hanna, Nelleke, and a very naked Jakob, find themselves trapped in a remote house with total amnesia, making all the wrong assumptions about who they are and how they fit together. Even without the history between them, so many strong personalities trapped in one place is never a good thing. Add the thirst for blood to it and you know it’s only a matter of time before someone loses it and fangs out.
Stripped of her past, Anja must choose between a husband she doesn’t remember and the handsome vampire she can’t stay away from. When the opportunity comes, will she opt to restore her memories, or live with the choices she’s made?
As time ticks by, the need for blood grows. Can they all work together to escape, or will they kill each other in the process?

Here is the blurb:
I know what you’re thinking – what kind of an asshole kills his own kind? This kind of ass… I mean me. I do. I’m a vampire hunter who just happens to be a vampire also. Or as I prefer to think of it, an exterminator, making the nighttime safer, one bloodsucker at a time.
I get it. I don’t look like the typical vamp. I’m not tall, dark, and handsome. I don’t smolder. People don’t see a killer when they look at me. I like it that way, it lets me hide in plain sight.
Boston’s just like any other city that needs cleaning up, and it’s kept me busy enough not to think about what I left behind in San Francisco.
Until she walked in.
I’d seen a zillion girls like her in my day. Wannabe feeders, going for that slutty goth style they thought vampires wanted. She was perfect. I didn’t have to watch anyone else in the place but her. Whoever took the bait was the one I’d target for the night. Only it turns out this girl doesn’t want saving. This girl’s on a hunt of her own.
*** Carter can be read as a standalone, or as book 10.5 of the Forged Bloodlines series. ***
Up next I’m working on Forget Me When the Sun Goes Down, book 11 of the Forged Bloodlines series.
