Busy busy bee
I haven’t updated a blog post for a bit, so this is a quick status just to get me off the couch. I’m thrilled and excited to be working with The Wild Rose Press again!

A Cat’s Tale Excerpt
This excerpt contains explicit sexual material and is intended for readers 18 years of age and older. A Cat’s Tale Somewhere between Virginia and California It happened in a nowhere town at a shithole bar off the main highway somewhere between Virginia and Los Angeles. Jared Kohl pulled off to get a drink and a burger. Okay, more than one drink, and a pile of burgers. But a werewolf had to eat and it took more than just one shot to get him buzzed. Whatever the case, he never did get to order. The bar was dim and cheap with
Piracy
So, I had my first experience as a published author this morning when I found a post offering copies of A Cat’s Tale for download. Although, I pretty much expected to have it happen, it still makes me feel angry and violated. I started off emailing my editor and she sent me on to the marketing director.

Status update
Well, this last weekend was uber busy so I didn’t manage to get a blog post up. I’ve been feeling bad about that since I committed to posting once a week. Currently, I’m waiting for results from the first round of ABNA. On Feb. 24th, I’ll find out whether my Norse werewolf novel made it into the second round. I’m also in the process of revising my suspense romance manuscript, Learning to Fly, for my editor over at TWRP. My editor wanted a higher heat level (read more sexy). However, I’ve gotten caught up in the story and I’ve been
Why shapechangers?
As a writer, once I had decided to develop a paranormal story with the intention of getting it published, the obvious thing to do was select the subgenre. In general, paranormal romances fall into certain types: vampires, shapechangers, fairies, ghosts, and magic users. For the purposes of keeping it simple, I’m excluding science fiction, time travel and high fantasy. Although, there’s room for crossover and none of the definitions are hard and fast. A word on vampires—they’ve been done to death. Literally. It’s not that I don’t like vampires, I do. I prefer rebellious bloodsuckers with plenty of verve.
