FREE read-White Trash Witch

Image
Have you ever had 'one of those days'? Riley finds every day a challenge because her witchcraft isn't what it should be. She's simply a klutz who laughs all the time, no matter how wrong her spells go. She's the easiest woman in the world to love. The only things she doesn't want in a man is money and looks. She prefers to find someone who will be true to her after a bitter divorce with a handsome, well to do man. Ryder has been bitten by the divorce bug. Wealthy and handsome, he realizes he doesn't have a chance with Riley in the disguise of a balding, short man, but as a wizard, he keeps his new look, hoping that he can find someone who'd like him for himself, and not his money. When they get together, Riley and Ryder hit it off, but what will happen when she finds his true self. Can the lies between them heal the rift? White Trash Witch is a fun loving romp between two people who are gun shy when it comes to love. You can read it for FREE on

Being different has always appealed to me. So when I write books, I like to twist things around. For instance, in Conquest of the Heart, set it post Conquest England, my hero is a virgin. And he is one of the conquered, not a big, brash Norman knight. In The Shrew That Tames I took the opportunity to rewrite Shakespeare. I hated how Kate got treated in that play. She had reasons for being a shrew, but no one ever thought of her and her feelings. They just wanted her money.  In my story, The Shrew That Tames, Katherine is a Regency heiress who has good reasons for being a shrew. She doesn't hate men. But she does want a man who isn't just after her money, one she can share her scientific and intellectual pursuits with. I give another twist to my story by having this lovely heiress ask an impoverished fortune hunter to marry her. And she has good reasons for this, too!

What would you do for someone you love?

Would you fight to the death to save someone you love? Would you travel a thousand miles to rescue them? What makes a hero or heroine push the limits? Sergeant Jinn Dennison seeks her identical twin sister, Julie, in the Mexican rainforest. She 'feels' that Julie is dying. The only think keeping her away from Julie is time, and Tab (Toxic) McTavish, the captain of Julie's team, Toxic Tango Troop, an elite team of soldiers whose mission it is to take down a drug lord. Tab  thinks Jinn is Julie and a traitor to the team and gave them up to the enemy. She can't prove her innocence because she and her sister are highly classified secrets in the military. They are both psychic in the extreme. Alone, they are powerful, but together they can be deadly. The only thing besides their natures that will set the women apart is their matching dragon tattoos on their bellies, and the love of a man. When you think of it, love and war go hand in hand.

A Taste For Killing By H.K. Sterling Mystery and Romance blend together when competing detectives Carolyn Woods and Jack Heart are both hired to solve the murder of Pete Wallace, only to realize they are working the same case. To complicate things, Carolyn and Jack have an on again-off again relationship. Then there is Evan Jones, a handsome architect— but he's also a suspect. Can Carolyn manage to solve the case as more and more murders pile up? Will her relationship with Jack hinder their investigations? And what about Evan Jones? He seems like the perfect man, but could he actually be the murderer? One thing is for sure: someone close to both Carolyn and Jack has A Taste For Killing. Excerpt He had six-pack abs, and I wanted to feel the carbonation. This one dressed like the stereotype of a construction worker, down to the handkerchief he used to wipe sweat off his forehead. I don't know if he or the hot day brought it out, but sweat poured off of me too. He

The Winter blahs disappear when I write.

Since I write about tropical islands and places like Mexico. My characters get to be nice and warm as well as free of shovelling snow. I live in Ontario, Canada. We get four seasons, each one with beauty and variety. I look forward to the spring flowers after having my fill of snow. When I write about the warmth of the places I talk about, I don't feel the cold. Of course sitting in my chair building my tales while next to a warm wood stove helps. I love to close my eyes and imagine how my characters move, smell the greenery, touch a smooth leaf, or listen to the birds and other animals singing in the rainforest. How do you stay warm? Read Jinn & Toxic and enjoy a race through the Mexican rainforest. You'll feel the heat! Blurb Connected to her identical twin sister through telepathy, Sergeant Jinn Dennison feels Juliette ’s (Julie’s) pain when she’s shot in the chest while on a covert assignment in Mexico. Jinn wants to save her, but is bound by military order
