About the author

I was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio in 1974 and lived there until 1980 when my family moved to Rayland, Ohio. I'm the youngest of four children with a huge age gap between us.

I began writing while in school as extra credit for English class because while I love to write and to read certain aspects just don't come easy. I've been writing steady since I was thirteen. I was homeschooled by a school-sent tutor due to illnesses and still graduated in 1993 from Buckeye Local High School with honors.

My main genre has always been action/adventure stories. My series, Celtic Evil, is my first foray into the world of paranormal/romantic suspense. I have written poetry though I can mainly do this in times of stress or emotional strife.

I still live in Rayland with my family and several spoiled animals.

[Danielle The Book Huntress · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kudos to Sierra Rose for writing such a cool story. Diablo's Return is a dream story for folks like me, who spent their adolescence watching way too many action movies, and wishing there were books that read like some of those under-appreciated gems.

Diablo is one of those dark figures that you root for, even though he's probably not a good guy. Or isn't he? Diablo has quite a tortured past to get beyond, and his heart is full of vengeance. Will he be able to put that past behind him and find a happy future? Will the real bad guys get vanquished? Well you need to read this story to find out.

Ms. Rose does a great job with the action and suspense elements (with appeal to both a male and female audience), but also manages to create fairly well-fleshed characters for such a short story. Writing short fiction is not easy. Writing really good short fiction is even harder. But this is a great short story that meets my needs for an edgy, action suspense story, with a nice romance, to boot. Great fun, and definitely recommended!
