Winter 2007

Is everyone ready for the Holidays?  I've got a ways to go yet, but my own special present for the holidays is Berkley purchased the first two books in my Reaper series. REAPER'S JUSTICE and REAPER'S VOW. These books begin a Western Historical werewolf romance series in which deadly men move beyond the hell they've been living and head West in search of the person they once were, yet barely remember. This series has it all, laughter, angst, tortured heroes and the women that bring them "home" to the dreams they've forgotten.

 The Promise Series (Western Historical) has gone mainstream! Starting with The Rev's story, this series that's widely popular with readers of all genres and has been described as Deadwood meets erotic romance by readers will be published through Berkley Sensation. This series features the bad boys of the Old West who meet their matches in the unexpected women they meet in the most unexpected places. These alphas are men hardened by life with temperaments honed to a ruthless edge by their experiences, yet who still harbor a bone deep sense of honor that earns them the reward of the one woman who can tap into their hearts. Each woman is as individual as the man she completes, but for a man who has never expected more than a violent end for doing the right thing in this life, they are a gift beyond price and there's nothing they won't do to keep them safe, happy and above all, theirs.

 I also sold a hot exciting paranormal  single author anthology series to Berkley Heat. The first book is titled Running Wild. Each anthology will feature three stories that build on each other as these men fighting for their place as they straddle the line between the very different human and werewolf worlds. Tough and intense, I know you're going to love them. The first of these hot romances will be released June 2008.

 In November, my first NY Western Historical series Hell's Eight released from SPICE with the title Caine's Reckoning. It's a super-hot, fast-paced romance with a strong heroine, a hero to die for, and a happily ever after that will touch your heart. Like my Promise series, Hell's Eight probably is not what a reader thinks of  when they think Western Historical, but each of these stories is a slice of life rich with emotion, spiced with passion, and filled with moments I hope will make your heart twist. The men of Hell's Eight are unpredictable and fascinating. They're definitely a law unto themselves, as wild as the West in which they live. Determined, and single-minded, they've planned for every contingency that could complicate their goals except for the one they never saw coming: the extraordinary women that will capture their hearts.

I'm asked constantly about the Unchained and the Others series and whether I intend to continue them. I love those series, but at this time they are on hold, but I do have every intention of writing them. The when depends on how I can rework the series to not include the original intended second books and then finding a home for them.
