Hi everyone!
As the end of the year approaches, I’m sharing a 2018 recap.
Remember, ebooks make great gifts! So if someone you know loves to read, be
sure to check out my website to see all of my other writings. Why not gift
someone a hot romance or a spooky horror story to read this winter?
My historical romance, Redemption from a Dark Past, was
published in 2018. This full-length Gothic novel is set in the kingdom of
Hungary in 1723 and blends a sensual romance with mystery and suspense. It also
was a Night Owl Romance “Top Pick” and got a 4 ½ star review.
REDEMPTION FROM A DARK PAST
Lord Sebestyen Adrik has an unsavory reputation as a madman,
murderer… and worse. Lonely and searching for love, he seeks the companionship
of local young women, hoping one of them will ease his torment and bring him
the happiness he longs for. Katarina is his last chance—but will she fear him
like all the others? Or is she the one who can lift his curse?
Desperate to avoid a forced marriage, Katarina agrees to
become Lord Adrik’s latest companion, despite the rumors she has heard about
him. She discovers the “Dark Lord’s” secret past and realizes he’s not the
monster everyone thinks he is.
As their love blossoms, she renews his passion for life—yet
they cannot escape the ghosts of the past.
When a meeting of the nobility goes horribly wrong,
Sebestyen’s world unravels, and his enemies plot to destroy him. As all seems
lost, a mysterious stranger arrives at the castle. Sebestyen must decide if he
is a friend or a foe…and if he can find redemption in his love for Katarina, or
lose her and everything else that he holds dear.

In August, I released my horror novella, Nightmare in the
North. This cautionary tale about traveling alone and trusting strangers makes
a great winter read! It received a 5 star review from Myra’s Horror Blog
Reviews.
NIGHTMARE IN THE NORTH
Stranded during a violent blizzard, Mark hikes to the only
house nearby. George, a well-mannered University professor, welcomes Mark and
gives him shelter from the storm.
By morning, Mark suspects that everything isn’t what it
seems. George’s adult daughter, Kate, who also lives in the house, shares a
disturbing and unsettling tale. When questioned, George insists that Kate has a
psychological issue and can’t be trusted to tell the truth.
Mark quickly finds himself caught in a game of cat and
mouse. Who should he believe? Is Kate’s desperate plea for help sincere? Should
he be suspicious of George? Or are both of them plotting something together?
Isolated from everyone, Mark is forced to wait out the
storm—and find a way to escape—if he hopes to make it out alive.

In October I released Cupid’s Schemes, a lighthearted
contemporary romance anthology.
CUPID’S SCHEMES - A COLLECTION OF SWEET ROMANCES
In these 16 flash fiction vignettes, Cupid’s arrow hits the
mark and ignites a spark between two strangers—whether or not they’re looking
for romance. Their unusual meetings lead to new beginnings and new chances at
love.
Sweet stories of couples falling under Cupid’s spell
include:
* a Medieval knight courting a pretty lady

least expect it

quick lunchtime escape or an after-work indulgence.
