New Cover Art to Share!


I have a new pretty to share!

The cover art for Polar Opposites has just arrived. Release day is Jan. 26 from JMS Books.

Unofficial blurb:


Donovan is the new guy in town, a polar shifter, harboring a big secret. He’s a big city bear who moved to the tiny town of Forgotten, Wyoming, in hopes of finding peace. What he finds is poison ivy and angry wasps.

TJ, a grizzly shifter, is the local doctor with a past. He’s found a home in the country, but lacks happiness and a sense of belonging. The fact that he’s in the midst of his natural mating season doesn’t help in the least. The moment Donovan enters TJ’s clinic, sparks fly. TJ is determined to resist the temptation that is Donovan, but his inner bear and Donovan have other ideas.

When a hunter starts going after shifters and a blast from Donovan’s past show up for revenge, things get hot. But, not as hot as the attraction between Donovan and TJ. If they can pull together and survive, they just might discover that while they are polar opposites, sometimes opposites do attract.

Tomorrow is the big day! Release day for Once Upon a Snowy Moon! Whoo-Hoo!


When her date bails on her, Tara decides she's had it with men. On her way home from the disastrous date, she hits a large dog with her car. There's no question she's keeping him. After all, dogs are faithful—unlike the men in her life.

Max is on the run after he and his alpha escape a violent coup. Exhausted, he doesn't see the car until it's too late, but he does see the woman who mistakenly believes he's a dog. While she takes care of him, Max has to figure out what's next, while keeping the woman he's beginning to fall for safe from his enemies.

Tara's new dog is everything she hoped for, but there's one major problem—he's not a dog. He's a wolf shifter. Now Max must convince her to trust him at the same time that he's trying to save his alpha's life. Until that happens, love is not in the picture—for him or Tara.

Here's a sneak peek:


Men suck.
Tara cut one more scathing glare to the guy who was supposed to be her blind date for the evening, spun around, and ran smack into a solid wall of a man wearing a dark suit. A fleeting scent of subtle cologne waved through the air, adding to the overall picture of a built guy with expensive taste. Attractive and wealthy normally caught a woman’s eye. Not hers and certainly not right now.
Especially since she just happened to greatly dislike the opposite sex as a whole. “Oh, excuse me.”

He steadied her and offered up a crooked smile, his blue eyes catching her attention. “No worries.”

His grin faded. “Are you all right? You seem distracted.”

She nodded, all too eager to leave the establishment and the source of her latest debacle. “Yes, thanks for asking. My date just sank like the Titanic so I might as well get going. Nothing worth hanging around here for now.” Pushing past the guy, she hurried to the parking lot and her waiting car.
Tara opened the door, tossed her purse to the passenger seat with a huff, then plopped down. A quick jerk settled the seat belt over her before she clicked it into place. “I swear. What’s the point of going out on dates when they all end up being creeps? I can find those on my own. Already have. Like a legion of them.” She shoved the key into the ignition and cranked the engine as a shiver rolled through her. Her long coat didn’t curb the frigid wind, not when she started out wearing a frilly blouse, slacks, and flats. Unfortunately, the car’s heater would take a bit to warm up but at least she had shelter from the mess outside.

Snow came down hard, with large flakes landing on her windshield, nearly obscuring the view until she clicked the wiper blades. The defrost on high helped to melt them as they landed, only to be shoved away as liquid with each swipe of the blade. January in Minnesota never was for the faint of heart.

“The perfect ending to a crappy day.” She’d been excited about the upcoming event. Sort of. After the fiasco of the last three, things had to be better. Or so she thought. Too bad this guy took one look at her, and a flicker of disappointment and disgust covered his face. He greeted her, drew her toward the bar, then he changed direction and struck up a conversation with a skinny beauty perched on a nearby seat when Tara excused herself to go to the bathroom. By the time she returned, he ignored her and seemed planted on the bar stool, entranced with the lithe redhead next to him.

Tara took the hint.

Loneliness had followed her around like a dark cloud day in and day out for the past few months. She saw all her friends happily tie the knot and move forward with their lives to other parts of the country with equal parts sadness and envy. It left Tara the remaining single woman out of the large group of good friends from Wells dorm at State College.

She wanted what they had. Happiness. Love. A companion for a lifetime of adventure. Someone to come home to every night and to hold her as they slept. Is that asking too much?

Just signed a contract with JMS Books for "Mitch"

Great news!

I just signed a contract for "Mitch", Misfit Shifters book 1, with JMS books! It should be coming out in March!

Here's a sneak peek at the unedited blurb:

Running into a winged lion shifter was never in Mitch's plans. But that isn't the first shocking surprise for Mitch as he steps onto the Bluebird Valley Preserve. The place has it's fair share of wildlife, including shifters, most of whom Mitch never knew existed. As a caracal shifter, Mitch isn't worried about living in a community filled with oddities and unusual types. It's his innate ability to draw energy from humidity and release it as an explosion that makes him wonder if his stay will be all too short. The three ring circus there he can handle. It's Calix, the saber-toothed cat that knocks him off balance.

Calix is a vet and a physician. Great in theory—except he can only diagnose, not heal. Still grieving from the death of a loved one, he vows to protect his heart from another crushing blow. Then, he saves a caracal shifter from the flood waters. When he sees Mitch, he struggles with leaving the past behind and making a future for himself including Mitch.

Raging waters and mudslides threaten, leaving the whole preserve at risk. Mitch puts his life on the line to rescue Calix. But, it's Calix's heart that Mitch finds the most challenging and worthy to win.

The 7-7-7 game

Blame this on Edward Kendrick. The 7/7/7 game. Page 7, 7th paragraph, and so on.

This is from my work in progress tentatively entitled: Werewolves, Weddings, and Wool Socks.

“More like northern Canada,” Ridge pitched in. His deep voice carried a hint of teasing humor.

“How northern?” Kenzie held her breath, somehow already knowing the answer.

“Resolute,” Libby answered.

The town name didn’t clear up any confusion. Kenzie’s gut tightened all the more. “That doesn’t do anything for me. Try again.”

“Pretty much as far north as you can go,” Sand finished. “Think past the Arctic Circle. Land of no dawn.”

No dawn? Arctic Circle? Images flashed through her head and none of them good. “Oh, no. No. No. No.” Kenzie shook her head. “I’m not going to the North Pole. No way, no how.”

Ridge smirked. “It’s not the North Pole, silly.” His expression and voice told how amusing he found her responses.

“Right.” Sand gave a single nod. “But, it’s close.”

“It’s not like you’re staking a tent on the top of the earth.” Libby waved her hand in the air as if that tidbit of information made all the difference in the world. “Everything is paid for already. The plane ticket. The dress. Everything. You just have to pack a bag and show up.”

Kenzie worried her lip. The North Pole sounded…intimidating. Ruthless. Miserable. Late October in the South had to be scores warmer than…well…the North Pole. She shivered at the thought.
