The paranormal and unexplained have always fascinated me. Life is full of mystery. Through the pursuit of answers to the biggest questions, I’ve become a biologist, a philosopher, and . . . a fiction writer. Because I’ve found that at the heart of every good story, universal truths are revealed.

Novels
Cloak of Deceit (Undead Series – Vampires/Psychics)
When her latest mistake in the boyfriend department ends up costing Alex Moore her life, she discovers a latent telekinetic ability, marking her as a target from both sides of an ancient war. Her only safe haven in the perilous un-life she’s awakened to is a Knight of the Cloak, a sexy Undead enforcer named Julian. But will he give up his rank and cast aside old loyalties to save her, or hand her over to the Cloak for judgment? And can Alex really trust her instincts when it comes to men she’s attracted to?
Rain of Ash, a.k.a. Inner Eye (Zyne Series – Witches/Demons)
Concert pianist Briana Spurrier fled the remote island community of Evergreen Cove to escape the taint of her mother’s scandalous suicide. Now a freak accident has claimed the rest of her family and forces her to return. Bri’s traumatic homecoming triggers the opening of her Inner Eye and reveals her inherited legacy as a reincarnating Zyne witch. Her new Oracle powers are more of a curse than a boon, though. Chaotic regressions to a past life, grim glimpses of the future, and a sending from beyond the grave ensnare Bri in a web of mysterious deaths. When the terror stalking her hometown turns out to be an ancient rival bent on collecting Bri’s soul, only Kean, her tenacious first love, is willing to stand by her side.
But with Kean it’s all or nothing, and Bri isn’t willing to give up the life of success and blessed normalcy she’s built for herself abroad. Kean makes it no secret that he doesn’t intend to lose her a second time. Though Bri can’t accept his terms, she also can’t resist his passion. Soon the walls around her battered heart come crumbling down and she faces the truest danger: losing anyone else she loves would break her. A Ward witch in his own right, Kean believes it’s his duty to protect Bri, even if that means making the ultimate sacrifice. After a premonition predicts that exact fate, Bri must accept who she is – past, present, scars and all – in order to harness her powers and expose the killer before her vision comes to pass.
Novellas
Familiar Fate (Zyne Series)
Scarlett Edgewood’s shields extend far beyond her metaphysical gifts as a Zyne Ward. After the unexplained death of her parents, she built a fortress around her heart and dedicated her life to completing their work. On her quest for an ancient Divan, a book of legendary power, she traces the origins of a stolen amulet into the thick of the Mayan jungle. She’s close. But the forces of destiny have other plans. On the precipice of achieving everything she’s always reached for, Scarlett discovers something she never thought she’d desire – a savior, a warrior, and a lover who penetrates all her carefully constructed defenses.
Rook’s mission is simple: find the amulet, retrieve the book, return to Khaos. But the half-breed Wielder demon’s first assignment to the mortal plane proves more difficult than anticipated. After centuries serving the Legion Army and denying his weaker half, he’s not prepared for the powerful emotions associated with assuming human form. With only four days to complete his task or perish, Rook falters when he encounters the Zyne witch who holds the amulet. Scarlett’s beauty and strength disarm him, arousing conflicting desires. Chief among them is a longing he might be willing to sacrifice his mission, his rank, or even his life to quench.
