The Vampire-Werewolf Complex
So for years I've been that girl whose friends come to for advice, or just to whine to about their men. I'm the one they call at 2am, and I'm the one that gives them a smack and tells them to snap out of it. I see all the stupid things women do to get men and I sigh. "The book I could write about dating," I'd say. Until finally I decided, what the hell, I'm going to write one.
It came to me as I was in the half-state about to drift into dreamland that there's a reason women like the vampire-werewolf-human love triangle that seems to have become a Hollywood standard. These two monsters actually represent two basic types of men. I shot up in bed and grabbed my notebook, which I keep in bed with me, and started jotting down all the ways men fit into these two categories. I had ten pages before I finally got to sleep.
In the morning I started doing research. I already had years of experience watching men and women interact and years of experience writing about these monsters so it wasn't too difficult to research the mental issues behind what I'd observed. Thus The Vampire-Werewolf Complex was born.
In the book I list types of men under the two monster descriptions. You can look up behaviors that your man has and determine whether he is more vampire or werewolf. Then you can look up what to do to interact best with your monster. It's a dating guide for the modern woman.
I've just released it on Amazon and the price is very affordable since it's such a short book(90 pages) so I hope you'll take the chance on it and give it a read. If nothing else, it will give you a few laughs.

New Books
I've just finished the next book in The Godhunter Series, Perchance to Die. I'm just polishing it up a bit and then I'll be releasing it on Amazon. I'm very excited to have #12 in the series come out but I've also been working on another book. A book to help my fellow writers publish and market their books on Amazon.
It's been a long journey for me, a lot of trial and error, a lot of research and long hours on the computer trying to learn about promotion of self-published books. So I decided to share my information and publish a book on how to self-publish.
I just finished today and the book is currently going through the publishing process. It should be out on Amazon within the next couple of days. It's called Publishing Prosperity, How to Publish and Market Your Kindle Ebook, and it's a rather short book, about 25 pages or so, but it has all my hard earned tips and tricks to success in it. I've always hated having to scan through page after page of information that could have been presented more concisely and saved me a bunch of time.
So that's what I've tried to do, present the information in a way that people can understand and follow easily, in as few words as possible.
I've also re-released my book The Vampire-Werewolf Complex, How to use Paranormal Romance to improve your relationship. It's a funny dating guide and I've freshened it up a bit with some new content and a new cover. That book is already out for sale on Amazon.
