Book excerpt: Time stops for no man, but with a little luck and a little onyx, it’ll stop for a woman. Dr. Ember Thorn doesn’t have time to drop everything to take a worthless piece of onyx back to some random Caribbean island because her mother broke a hip and can’t do it herself. It can wait. So, it waits. And waits. It waits until Ember’s life goes a bit wonky. She loses her boyfriend, her job, and her house ends up full of raw sewage. Well, okay, then. No reason not to go reset in the Caribbean. She hops the next plane out and ends up seated beside the man who made sure she lost her job. He had some justification. Ember was the one who sent his very much alive father to the morgue. Don’t freak out. It’s not like it was intentional, and the man didn’t even end up being refrigerated. It was a simple mistake and nobody was injured. Not physically… the not-dead guy may need some therapy. On island time, things aren’t looking up. The airline lost her luggage, then when she gets to the island, she’s thrown from the boat by an over-zealous driver—and her pig. Just as she’s about to drink herself into oblivion, she spots Delilah Bradbury, actress, icon, and movie director. Ember strikes up a conversation—she’s Delilah’s biggest fan, Oh Em Gee!—and her luck finally changes. By some island miracle, Ember ends up with the lead role in the upcoming movie about a pirate, a witch, and a trio of magical jewels. It’s not that easy. Things are never that easy. Nothing is what it seems on Pararey Island. Thanks to Renegade Remington and the love of his life, Ariyah, who are dying—not literally, they’re already dead—to tell their story, maybe true love will prevail for all of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forbidden Wildwood isn’t scary for a girl who can see in the dark. But is she ready for what it will illuminate? When fourteen-year-old AnnaGrey meets a horned horse-like creature called an aeobanach in the forbidden Wildwood, she crosses the threshold from our world to a magical one in the hope of finding answers about her night-vision ability. She’s only too eager to leave everything behind—her mom's secrecy about the past, her dad's far-fetched tales, and especially the mean boy at school, Cross Silverstone. She and the aeobanach embark on a journey to create a potion that will change the aeobanach into its human form. But their quest is complicated by rebels seeking to overthrow a king who’s more interested in finding his long-lost son than ruling a kingdom. After being captured and accused of being a rebel against the throne, AnnaGrey learns she might know where the king’s son, Silverstone, is. The king makes her a deal: bring his son back to the magical realm, and he’ll not only release her aeobanach, but he’ll help AnnaGrey discover the truth about herself. AnnaGrey must convince the boy who bullies her—who may be a kindred spirit in disguise—to come with her to the magical world so she can free her friend, get information about her night-vision ability, and go home—where the true answers about her abilities lie.

As if that’s not enough pressure, someone has stolen a precious artifact from the student’s lair. I am told it is a potential catalyst for an all-out war between species if it falls into the wrong hands. With time ticking away and very little evidence to work with, I face insurmountable odds. Like I said--I’m living in a nightmare. It all began innocently enough when my students asked for permission to hold a Spring Dance. I am the administrator of Fangsters, a school for delinquent, teenage, vampires on the outskirts of Mystic Keep, a small town in the Pacific Northwest, housed in a renovated bordello, filled with secrets and scandals. A celebration seemed like a good idea to me at the time. Little did I know it would lead to murder. I have backup. There’s Onyx, my nemesis, who runs security and wants me gone; Leroy, the ruggedly handsome, werewolf enforcer who wants me to stay out of trouble; and my witch sisters and their supernatural cop husbands who never miss an opportunity to lecture me. Whether any of these people can help me is questionable. My name is Rebel Black. I never imagined I would be pulled into the dark, and bloody world of the vampires because of one little secret. Yet here I am, trying to solve a murder in the school of the rising dead. Welcome to my Mystic Keep World, where witches, warlocks, werewolves, and vampires coexist with norms. Fangs for the Memories is the third installment in the Fangsters series, a heart-pumping urban fantasy with a slow-burning romance.
