I'm a mom of two and wife to a wonderful man for the last twenty-one years—and that's not including the seven years we dated before we married! My cat, Holly, is a constant companion that would rather I stared at her instead of my computer. She doesn't understand that we writers are nearly always staring at our computers.

Although, when I first started writing, the only available tools were paper, pens, or typewriters. Writing has been a part of my life since 1982, after my maternal grandmother died of breast cancer. As a way to grieve, I wrote poetry. Poetry led to short stories. Short stories led to novels. And, well, here I am.

My second book, Vampires of the Chesapeake: Rees Morgan was published in May 2014. The third in the series will

Sometimes these things work. Other times I have to work on different projects until the block dissolves. (less)

Quotes by D.A. Rhine  (?)

“Perhaps it was because his life as a human had been so happy and his life since becoming a vampire had been so lonely that Kian clung to any shred of humanity left in him.”
D.A. Rhine, Vampires of the Chesapeake: Kian MacTiernan

“Hey lady.” Sandy wrapped her arms around Darcy’s neck and kissed her cheek quickly. “So, are we burning anything of his in some occult ritual that will curse him and all his unborn children till the end of their days, or are we just going to key his car?”
D.A. Rhine, Vampires of the Chesapeake: Kian MacTiernan

“When her gaze landed upon his lips, he scooted closer and brushed his mouth over hers. Fire ignited low in his belly and desire coursed through his veins. No doubt, his John Thomas was doing all the thinking; he knew he should listen to the head between his shoulders, the one telling him this was a mistake, but the one between his legs was more insistent.”
D.A. Rhine, Vampires of the Chesapeake: Rees Morgan

“In all of the possible scenarios Kian had envisioned, encountering a lunatic had not been one of them. It just showed him that he could never be completely prepared.”
D.A. Rhine, Vampires of the Chesapeake: Kian MacTiernan

“Wouldn’t you like to believe you’re the center of someone’s universe? To feel so special that the rest of the world didn’t matter and it could all wait? What would you be willing to pay for that - any time you needed to feel that way?”
D.A. Rhine, Vampires of the Chesapeake: Kian MacTiernan

“Then, in a whisper, Sam said, “I met someone else.”

Just like that, Darcy's world melted and distorted into something she no longer recognized. His words hung like poison in the air, and she held her breath, afraid to breathe it in.”
D.A. Rhine, Vampires of the Chesapeake: Kian MacTiernan
