Born and raised in Louisiana where I live with my hilarious family, several cats, my goofy dogs, and any other wildlife that wants to walk through the yard. Excluding my husband, of course. I spend most of my time writing Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. When I'm not writing the paranormal I can be found drawing, watching a dramas, reading, or being an amateur genealogist.

My dogs: Fin and Rex. ...more

“I pictured Cupid sitting in a crappy little bar, drunk and depressed, while he moaned to the bartender, "That Jasmine Parks, gods, she pisses me off! Did you see what she just did?
