Carolina Sinclair is surrounded by shadows that crawl up walls and dead people looking for the door to the other side. When her childhood nemesis, Mallory Kramer, is murdered, the deceased former troublemaker shows up on Carolina's doorstep asking for help. Carolina's instinct is to turn Mallory away, but there's a problem. Mallory's killer isn't finished, and if Carolina doesn't help her, he'll likely kill again. State Police Detective Nathan Claiborne gets pulled into a missing person investigation in the small town of Romance, Arkansas. When Carolina walks into the police station with suspicious-sounding tip credited to a ghost, she quickly becomes the prime suspect. But what if Carolina's right? With no other leads, Nathan finds himself relying on her clues in a case that could easily go cold. Carolina's involvement in the case draws the killer's attention. In fact, he's zeroed in on her now, and it's all going well until ... the shadows come.

This is the first chapter of my Paranormal Romance novel, Blood and Ashes, about a witch and the enchanting faerie that comes into her life. This book is now published. BOOK SUMMARY: Blood holds the power to both heal and destroy. The fingertips of a blood witch hold enough power to heal or destroy the entire world. Kaelin discovers that she has incredible power at her fingertips: the power of blood magic. She's capable of both healing and destroying. A few drops of her blood bring an abandoned baby back from the dead. As she struggles with her newfound power, Kaelin meets an alluring stranger with eyes unlike any Kaelin has ever seen. She finds his blue eyes with a ring of lilac around the pupils absolutely mesmerizing. However, he may have entered her life with more than a romantic relationship in mind. Stepping through a door in a decaying factory, Kaelin falls through a portal into a frightening world. There, a sickly woman with coal-black eyes rimmed in emerald green confronts her. She demands the return of "the child" and threatens consequences if her order is not obeyed. As Kaelin hides the abandoned baby from the authorities and runs from those who threaten her, she relies on the man with whom she's fallen deeply in love to save her. The question remains: Is he there to help her or betray her? In the Land of Faerie, the Unseelie are dying from the spread of a fatal disease. Only the child with special blood can save them. **Blood and Ashes is a Paranormal Romance novel with some adult content.**

They're the most unlikely duo you could imagine. After all, what could a fiercely independent Fae possibly want with a stubborn dragon who seems to think he needs to protect her? Okay, sure, Darius is a spine-tingling sexy shifter with a wicked sense of humor, not to mention that cocky smirk on those deliciously perfect lips that can't seem to stop smiling at her... But Kaye isn't that kind of girl. She is a powerful fairy, and the last thing she wants is to be burdened by this mysterious shifter, even if he does insist that her life is in danger. Who does he think he's dealing with? Kaye doesn't need protection from anything or anyone, and even if she did; she can certainly handle herself. Or, so she thinks. But when the dark shadows nip at her heels, and evil curls its inky fingers around her world, threatening to destroy everything she loves, she might just change her mind. That is, if it's not too late.

This is a johnlock and London Spy Crossover Story

This is the story of a prostitute and demimondaine who escapes to the peace and respectability of country life with her young daughter. I wrote this story in 2010 during my "summer of practice retirement" where I wanted to prove to myself I could become a productive writer and not a coach potato. I got so into the story that I had dreams about it and got up at 4 a.m. (once school started) to write them down. It's been languishing in my pile of unfinished manuscripts, but I was just thinking the other day that it might be time to resurrect it. So that's what I'm doing here.
