BLACK BULLET is back on Amazon!

The updated version of Black Bullet is officially on Amazon and free on Kindle Unlimited! Just in time for the holidays and for a potential escape this weekend.

Next up is Vermilion Lies, and then, finally, Furious Angels, slated for summer 2025! I cannot wait!

Hope you’re all having a wonderful holiday season, loves. I managed to put my black and red Christmas tree up this year (which I adore) and hubby and I will be doing a quick little cabin escape in north GA for a holiday getaway during my time off next week. I am so ready!

Hope you have a wonderful holiday season, my dear friends. 2025 is just on the horizon and I’m looking forward to more books, more writing, and more adventures in the new year!

Enjoy BB!

Happy Holidays from yours truly!

BLACK BULLET, updated version now available!

He had everything under control until she crashed into his afterlife.

Fledgling vampire Jonathan Kerr has met his match.

Not even his past life as a former Marine and FBI agent could prepare him for the battle against the monster inside him, struggling to take hold. After an old nemesis of the Senary surfaces in Brooklyn, unleashing chaos and terror in the battered borough, Jon sets out to take him down. Instead, he ends up with far more than he bargained for when he clashes with the beautiful half-vampire hybrid, Lawan Knight.

After escaping near death and suffering unspeakable horror at the hands of vampires, Lawan trusts no one, regardless of species. In between bouts of drunken stupor, her only goal is to exterminate all those who’ve wronged her, including every member of Jon’s vampire bloodline. But Jon’s soulful eyes and quick smile crawls under her skin, transforming her black and white world into a hazy shade of gray.

As the days rapidly grow darker, Jon and Lawan turn to one another, but their inner demons threaten to tear them apart. The only way either of them will survive is if they overcome their greatest fear—love.

Book 2 in The Order of the Senary series, a dark paranormal romance.

New cover and re-release for Sweet Sacrifice!

I’ve got a new cover for SWEET SACRIFICE and it’s officially back on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! 

My former Soul Mate Tree novella is now a precursor to a future archangel paranormal romance series called THE THIRD SPHERE (by yours truly, of course). Although this series will likely come after the Senary (and a series of dark fairytale romantasies *wink wink*), I couldn’t wait to get SS back out there in the world!

Hope you enjoy this sexy new cover of Bash (it suits the story well, doesn’t it?!) and if you haven’t dove into this novella yet, now is your chance!

Heaven is hell without her.

Former Navy SEAL Sebastian “Bash” Lockard died in Afghanistan after leaping on a grenade to save his comrades. Little did he know his act of heroism would grant him a ticket into Heaven’s elite army as one of the few and powerful Archangels. Struggling with his new existence, Bash still retains his human memories, leaving behind a wife he loves with all of his heart. Although he’s forbidden to see her, he can’t resist her lure, or the mortal desires he harbors for her.

As a young widow and nurse, Irene Lockard still mourns her husband two years after his untimely death. His absence is everywhere, and when her best friend weds, she hits an emotional rock bottom. As if summoned from the skies above, Sebastian appears before her, and they share an unforgettable night. But when he once again vanishes, she wonders if she’s truly gone mad with grief.

The only way Sebastian can remain with Irene is if he makes the ultimate sacrifice. But will she overcome her fear of losing him again to another war?

A long overdue update and re-release!

Hey there, dear reader. It’s been awhile!

I’m slowly crawling out of my creative black hole after the past few years of madness. I won’t bog you down with the drama, but in sum, my muse pretty much vanished during the initial rise of COVID and with becoming a new attending physician (not to mention, you know, all of the death and stress during that time period). After realizing how toxic my work environment was up in RI, I changed jobs and took a leadership position in Savannah, GA, a few years ago. Honestly, it was one of the best decisions I’ve made career-wise. Now I’m so much happier with my work and purpose in medicine and I truly feel valued with my new group.

On the writing front, my publisher recently announced they were closing their doors by the end of this month. While I’m grateful they took a chance on my books and helped build me a foundation as an author, I’m absolutely thrilled to receive my rights back on the whole series. So it’s official–I’m an indie author and have full control of this crazy world I’ve created.

Let’s just say my muse has returned with a vengeance!

I’m currently working on restoring all my books back on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. Releasing the Demons officially went live and the details are below! If you already have a copy, you might have to redownload it on Kindle to get the updated version (hopefully…don’t quote me on this). And if you haven’t tried the series yet, here’s your chance!

Black Bullet will be updated next and I’m waiting on a new cover for Sweet Sacrifice before I upload it to Amazon. To say I’m excited is an understatement! It feels so good to be creating again and I’ve missed my characters so much. Once Vermilion Lies reverts to me on Sept 30, that’ll go up next after BB. Then, finally, Furious Angels (which is 90% written)! I can’t guarantee any pub dates at this point, but it’s all coming, I promise.

I’ve already plotted out most of the fifth book (Shaul’s book) and came up with a name…to be continued! 😀

RELEASING THE DEMONS, now available (again)!


He’s out to set the world on fire. She’s the only one who can tame him
.

Blaze Knight has been through hell and back, but the nightmares aren’t over yet.

Five years after being maimed and tortured by vampires, Blaze is still picking up the pieces of his shattered life. As a genetically-engineered hybrid mercenary, his mission is to protect what’s left of humanity. When his tormentors return to the Bronx gunning for Blaze’s blood, he’s forced to face the demons of his past. Hell-bent on revenge, he seeks the help of Valerie Medeiros, an NYPD detective who manages to steal his heart and save his life in more ways than one.

Motivated by her sister’s gruesome death, Valerie’s life goal is to bury every vampire in the ground where they belong. She has a hard time trusting anything with fangs, yet she falls headlong into Blaze’s life, a life full of darkness and horror she can’t even begin to fathom. The bodies are stacking up, but Valerie can’t let go of this hybrid, a beautiful monster filled with pain, rage, and passion unlike anything she’s ever known.

In a world where the line between good and evil is blurred, Blaze and Valerie will find danger at every turn, risking everything they’ve come to know and love, including one another.
