MJ can't remember a time when she wasn't creating her own stories and considers every life experience fodder for her fiction.

MJ lives in upstate New York with her husband. Music and cooking are two of her passions, and she enjoys baseball and college basketball, but she’s primarily focused on wine ... and writing. ...more

May is “Date Your Mate” Month…

…and I’m celebrating by giving away a fated mate novella: “Shifting Home.”

Mated and maternal have never been werewolf supermodel Diana’s goals. She’s trying to ensure the survival of her pack by earning money for them, not push out more offspring. The last thing she needs is a horny mate, fated or not, getting in her way . . . or getting her in the family way.
