My Hobbies
A lot of people ask me when I find the time to
write. I have a full time job, a family and a very demanding social life. Yes,
shoe shopping can be a full time job too! When I’m not writing, working or
being mommy, I am usually out with my sister. We take part in various
charitable walks each year. One of my favorite is the Central Park Walk for
Autism. We fundraise through the month of May and in June we do the walk. We
always include our kids and family. It’s an annual event and we have been doing
it for almost eight years. I’ve also taken part in the Breast Cancer
fundraising. My favorites are children’s charities: March of Dimes and I’ve
also done Light The Night. I LOVE to read. I am the world’s biggest book worm.
My kindle has over 1500 books and I have read most more than once. I tend to
stick to Erotic Romance, but have a love for the horror/suspense. You will find
anything from Thomas Harris and Stephen King to Julie Garwood and Nora Roberts.
Another passion is watching scary movies. I’m such a horror buff. I love
watching anything scary and creepy. My all time favorite is Aliens. My other
passion is as mentioned above. Shoe shopping. I am a closet shoe addict. I have
bought so many shoes and don’t even wear most more than once. I have very picky
feet and end up having to give some away. I don’t mind. There’s so many less
fortunate that I just pass them down.
Why I love romance
My parents had a very strange marriage. They weren’t the
most romantic couple, but my mom loved reading romances. I think it was her way
of filling the missing romance in her life. She loved reading Harlequin
presents and the other tamer romances. Once she was done with them, she’d let
me read them. She knew I loved reading and I guess since I went through books
like they were chocolate bars, she figured I’d read through them in no time.
With each romance, I fell in love with the idea of a couple having a happy life
at the end of each book. I was a very icy teen. Not very emotional outwards,
but when I read a book? I would smile, laugh, cry and lived in the fantasy of
the story. I felt the same way when I made up stories and wrote them down. At
first, they were kid stories, but as I grew up they resembled some of those
romances I read with the Alpha man and the corageous heroine. I turned into an
absolute romance-a-holic. I love all things romance and one of them is romantic
comedies. So I try to make my books romantic, funny and interesting. Romances
have been a part of my life since I can remember. They made me smile when
nothing else would and they helped me realize what I want out of my writing.
Animal Appeal: Why I Love Shifters
The biggest reason I love shifters is because they
are human but also have that wildness about them. Come on you know it’s true.
The entire growling, snarling and danger is oh so sexy. I admit I may have
issues, I do love me some shifters, the more dangerous the better. I also like the fact that a shifter can be a
regular human on the outside, hiding a wild beast inside. To me, that’s just
hot. I like that they fight to protect their mates and their families. My
werewolf shifters mate for life and are so sexy that any woman would want one. Shifters
have this aura of sexy danger. It calls to the animal inside every woman. Makes
us want to be bad with them. Plus, each one of us wants to know if sex really
is as wild as we think. Is there biting? Is there snarling? Is there growling?
LOL. In my books there is. So I make shifters my own and turn them into my
fantasy come to life.
Blurb:
A
woman with a secret…
The Federal Paranormal Unit is an elite squad of supernaturals dedicated to solving missing persons cases. Erica’s gift allows her a special connection with the crime, but it comes at a deep personal cost… Until now, she’s kept her gift a secret, even from the other members of the team. But this case will throw her together with Agent Trent Buchanan. He’s the object of her secret desires, but he’s also a cocky womanizer. She’d rather swim in shark-infested waters with a paper cut than admit she has feelings for him.

A
man with one desire…
Wolf Shifter Trent wants Erica more than he’s ever wanted any woman. He’s spent
years patiently waiting for her to admit that she wants him too. Working
one-on-one in a race to find a serial killer, Trent’s patience and Erica’s
resolve wear thin. When Trent discovers the truth about Erica, will he accept
her for who she is? And can he protect her from the horrors that her gift
brings?
A
case that pushes them to the edge…
Erica will have to risk it all if she wants to stop the killer, and when she does, Trent may have to put his own life on the line to make sure his mate is protected…

Short
Excerpt:
“Brock, he’s doing it again!” Erica
glared at the Casanova walking beside her, hating how good he looked in his
black T-shirt and ass-hugging jeans. Trent Buchanan. He was her daily
temptation and ultimate fantasy. And she’d rather wax her nipples in public
than admit it to him. Butterflies swarmed her stomach, twisting and twirling
her into one giant, aroused mess.
“What’s Buchanan done this time, Villa?”
Brock, their team leader, asked without looking up from the papers on his desk.
“He’s staring at me.” She growled and
dropped in one of the empty chairs, huffing out a breath.
Buchanan, The Bastard, as she liked to
refer to his cute ass, grinned at her. His full, sexy lips caught her immediate
attention. “Excuse me, I can’t help it if it’s a beautiful day, and I’m glad
it’s Friday. You’re a grump, Villa.”
It was so unfair that she had to keep
pushing him away when her body wanted to curl around his big frame. But if she
ever did that she’d turn into another Trent groupie, and that was not her
thing. She’d seen the other women in the department walk after him, ogling and
almost drooling, as if he were the lead singer in a rock band. Pathetic.
Buchanan folded his arms over his
massive chest. Erica’s entire body throbbed every time she looked at him. She
drank in the inciting vision and argued with her lust for dominance. Disgusted
with her body’s responses, she glared at him again. Her eyes strayed to the
scar on his upper lip. She gulped and curled her fingers into her palms,
digging her nails deep. Whenever she glanced at the tiny scar, she wanted to
nibble and run her tongue over it. It was driving her insane. Thankfully he
couldn’t read her mind, or he’d be having a hell of a time making fun of her
tough talk.
“Villa, just look at me.” He opened his
muscled arms wide and did a full circle for her. Once he was facing her again,
he leaned on the wall. He winked at her. “If you didn’t have a stick the size
of Texas up your ass, you’d realize what a catch I am.”
