Now that he’s found me, Lucifer will never let me go. Always popping up in the most inconvenient places, my bed, my dreams, trying to seduce me with his wicked ways. It’s all I can do to resist his charms and there’s nowhere on Earth I can hide from him.
But I’m tired of running. I want to stick it out and fight my own battles. It’s time I learned how to use my gifts – if I could just figure out how. And I’d better figure it out fast, as now he’s throwing demons at me, left and right, trying to get me to develop my power.
Luckily, I have Mom, Adam, and Michael to keep an eye out for me while I’m learning what I can do. Michael’s been teaching me to fight and wield my Grace against demons and anything else Lucifer throws my way.
The problem is, the more time I spend with Michael, the closer I want to get to him. Sometimes I think maybe he feels the same. Sometimes, I think maybe we stand a chance. And then I’m reminded that’s strictly forbidden unless he wants to end up among the Fallen.
Unless you believe the prophecies about me. They say I need to choose between the dark and the light. Only it’s hard to interpret what I’m supposed to do. Is choosing Michael the path to salvation or sin? Or will choosing Lucifer lead to damnation or a chance at redemption for everyone?

This is a sequel to The Fallen series, picking up with Mercy’s daughter, Eve, about twelve years later. Secrets of the Fallen is a completed series of two books, Eve of Awakening and Eve of Redemption, and will be better enjoyed after reading The Fallen series, starting with Angel of Mercy.

I don’t know when my birthday is. That’s not the weirdest thing about me.
I don’t know what my actual name is either. That’s also not the weirdest thing about me.
We move around a lot, and each time we hit a new town, each time I go to a new school, Mom lets me pick a new name. Anything I want. We made a game of it. A new town, a new life.
Also, my mom looks the same now as she did seventeen years ago in a picture I found of her, pregnant with me. But this is also not the weirdest thing in my life.
The weirdest thing about me? Sometimes I’m invisible.
No, seriously. It happens all the time, people legit don’t see me. On the plus side, I never get called on in class, and I’ve done my share of movie theater hopping without getting busted. But I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost been hit by a car, even if I wave to make sure they know I’m there before I cross. Nobody ever notices me.
So you can understand how strange it was to find myself being hunted by demons.

It turns out my whole life is a lie. Who I am, where I’m from, more importantly – what I am.
There’s a reason why Mom looks the same as she did seventeen years ago. There’s a reason why we move from place to place at the drop of a hat, never making friends or connections. Apparently, I’ve been in hiding my whole life, and I never knew it.
Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness himself, has been chasing after me because he wants to breed a new race of man with me, thanks to my angelic heritage. Ick. Even if the guy is brutally hot, just… no.
On the plus side, I have a lot of angels looking out for me, including my own guardian angel who’s sexy enough to make me want to beg for twenty-four-hour protection. Only he’s sworn me to absolute secrecy, no one can know he’s revealed himself to me or he risks being cast out of Heaven.
And then there’s Michael. I’ve been crushing on him for years, even if he only ever comes to me in dreams. I never expected to walk into my new school and find him teaching my English class. It turns out he’s real too and he’s ready to protect me at any cost – even if it hurts us both.
It’s easy to be an idiot for love, and boy, am I an idiot sometimes.

This is a sequel to The Fallen series, picking up with Mercy’s daughter, Eve, about twelve years later. Secrets of the Fallen is a completed series of two books, Eve of Awakening and Eve of Redemption, and will be better enjoyed after reading The Fallen series, starting with Angel of Mercy.

Angel of Mercy
I don’t know why I got stabbed. I don’t know why I healed overnight.
I don’t know why I keep seeing the same guy in my dreams, on the sidewalk, at the minimart near my apartment – the insanely hot guy with the piercing blue eyes that nobody can see but me.
I have to follow him. I have to talk to him.
And he’s not the only one stalking me. That guy with the knife? He’s still out there, and he knows where I live.
I have to know. What am I now? Am I still human? Am I part angel? Or am I something new?

* This is the first book in a completed, five book series about fallen angels and demons, and contains a cliffhanger.

What do you guys think of the awesome cover by Robot Brain Design?

Here’s the blurb:
Cady and Ethan are on the run from the Company, but there’s no escaping the trouble they brought with them. The demon Cady was bound with isn’t as dormant as they first thought, and it’s desperate to be free. How many times will Cady have to wake up in strange circumstances before she realizes her life isn’t her own? Crippled without his usual contacts, Ethan is desperate to hold onto Cady and find the help she needs – but is it enough? Is Rikard the one who can keep Cady safe and satisfy the demon inside her? Layer upon layer of deceit muddy the waters until it’s impossible to find the right path. In the end, Cady is left with a terrible choice – submit to the Company or the demon who’s taken over her life.

Here is the blurb:

“I couldn’t help but think we were finally over the worst of our troubles. I was such an idiot.”

The bad guy’s dead and gone, Jakob’s given Rob and Anja his blessing and left town, so everything should be smooth sailing, right? Right? Not so fast. Lodinn’s still wreaking havoc with their lives from beyond the grave as the search for Carys pulls Bishop and Jakob into the most unlikely of partnerships.

As Anja settles into her hard won bliss, she finds that things aren’t necessarily happy ever after as Rob’s mounting secrets begin to take their toll. All around her violence against humans is spilling into the city streets, threatening to expose vampires to human eyes and bringing vampire hunter Carter back into the picture. His direct but effective methods lead her to ask – is it wrong to kill a killer? Is there anything she can do to bring the violence to a halt apart from compelling the entire vampire community to her will?

When Bishop discovers Carys’ long lost diary, it holds the key to his past as well as Rob’s future. The burning question remains – is Carys really alive out there somewhere or was it merely a beautiful lie and Lodinn’s final revenge?

And can Anja survive a betrayal so deep it shakes her to the very core?

Here’s the new cover and blurb for book 8 in my Forged Bloodlines series. I’m shooting for a release date of Tuesday, September 9th. Be sure to add it on Goodreads! And I hope you’ll join us for the release party here: https://www.facebook.com/events/684324381644925

I admit the last time I did a pre-order for Release Me When the Sun Goes Down, my overall sales numbers were down. The corresponding sales of other books was down as well (I usually see a bump in other sales when I have a new release out). It’s hard to tell if that’s because 30 days was too long of a pre-order period so it spread out my ranking too thin, or if people are getting tired of reading these suckers, or what.

What do you guys think? Would you rather I announce a release date, padding it with enough room to make sure I can have the book done in time and thus delaying the date by up to 10 days, or would you rather wait for it… wait for it… wait for it… go! When it’s live, but get it sooner?

I’ve been asked to be a part of a huge multi-author sale this summer. On June 14th, 16 authors will make one of their Fantasy New Adult and Coming of Age books available for $.99! I’ll be participating with Angel of Mercy, the first in The Fallen series. There will be a massive party going down on Facebook with freebies and games from all participating authors. Stop by the Facebook event page here to join.

There will be a prize given for whoever invites the most attendees, so be sure to invite your friends!

Here is a list of participating authors:
1. Ken Lozito, Road to Shandara
2. Lisa Olsen, Angel of Mercy
3. H.D. Gordon, Blood Warrior
4. J Bennett, Falling
5. Judy Teel, Shifty Magic
6. Lynn Rush, Wasteland
7. Claire Chilton, Demonic Dora
8. T. G. Ayer, Retribution
9. Sharon Bayliss, The Charge
10. Daniel Arenson, Moth
11. Martin Hengst, The Last Swordmage

13. Lindsey Pogue and Lindsey Farleigh, After the Ending
14. Karpov Kinrade, Seduced by Lies, Vol. 1

It should be a lot of fun, I hope to see you there!

My new book is out! Release Me When the Sun Goes Down is now available for sale on Amazon and Barnes and Noble! It’s out as an e-book for $3.99 but you don’t have to have a Kindle or Nook to read it, they have free downloadable apps so you can read it on your PC, or even your phone. It’ll be available in print as well in a few days through Amazon.

Here is the blurb:
“Bossy Anja was in control now, and I’d be damned if I let either Ellri take that away from me.”

Anja will endure anything to save her loved ones – torture, humiliation, showtunes, you name it. For Rob she’s sacrificed everything, even her last drop of blood, desperate to save him from Lodinn’s twisted revenge fantasy. In this seventh Forged Bloodlines installment, Release Me When the Sun Goes Down, Anja realizes that the only way to defeat an enemy scarier than Jakob is to stop relying on a knight in shining armor to do it for her and fight him herself. In the process she finds the strength to take back her due and the man she loves. The answer to her problems lies in the birthplace of vampire mythology, and Anja embarks on a rescue mission to save her family and friends before they’re picked off one by one.

Next up… the yet unnamed sequel to Pretty Witches All in a Row

Four days until Release Me When the Sun Goes Down is out!

As promised, here is an excerpt that goes with this teaser:

*Anja and Rob steal a few private moments together*

“Hey, sleepyhead.” I sat on the edge of Rob’s bed to shake him awake. Normally I liked to let him sleep in until he naturally rose, but Jenessa had taken Maggie out shopping and Hanna was upstairs playing Texas Hold ‘Em with Lee, so we had some relative privacy for the moment.

“Hey,” he murmured, his voice low and roughened with sleep. “Something amiss?”

“Nope, just thought I’d ask you something to help settle a bet.”

His brows crinkled closer in confusion. “What kind of bet?”

“You do like the ladies, don’t you?”

“Come again?”

“Jenessa was wondering, and seeing as how I haven’t been close enough to you to tell lately…”

That’s as far as I got before he grabbed hold of me with one arm and pulled me into the bed beside him, growling, “I’ll show you how much I like the ladies.” He covered my neck with raspy kisses, making me giggle uncontrollably until we settled under the comforter, my hair half strewn across my face as I fought for breath.

“Hullo,” he rumbled, brushing the strands away from my forehead.

I smiled up at him, my arms sliding around his waist. “Hi.”

“You shouldn’t be in here like this.” But he didn’t make any move to let me go.

“I know. It’s only Lee and Hanna in the house though, their hearing isn’t as good.”

“It is with you making such a ruckus.”

“I could always say you did something funny to make me laugh.”

“Because I’m known for acting the comedian?” He raised a single brow.

“Then don’t tickle me with your scruff and I won’t be so loud. When’s the last time you shaved anyway?”

“I thought you liked me like this.”

“I do yesterday or tomorrow, today is that super prickly stage,” I said, rubbing my jaw along the side of his.

“I see,” he said seriously. “And how will you explain what I done to make this sound?” In the space of a breath he ducked under the comforter, tugging up the corner of my shirt to nip at the tender skin underneath my ribs. He was probably going for the tease, but the second I arched up under him it became something else. His mouth closed over my flesh, no longer tickling, but kissing and nuzzling his way back up to my neck. This time it didn’t tickle one bit as my head lolled to the side, giving him better access.

“So soft…” he murmured against my skin, pressing intimately against me and my legs parted to accept him. This was dangerous, and I never wanted it to end. Rob’s lips closed over mine and I moaned against his mouth. I couldn’t help it, I wanted to taste him so badly.

“We have to stop,” he whispered, even as his hands skimmed lower.

“I know.” But neither one of us did.

He was the one to break the silence as my hand wrapped around his length, hard and ready for me, and I laid a finger to his lips. “Shh, the only way this works is if we’re absolutely silent. Or do you want me to stop?”

He looked up at me, helpless to the passion clouding his hazel eyes when I held him in my grasp. “Don’t stop,” he breathed. “Don’t ever stop.”
