IDEA FOR THE BOOK The Trouble with Empaths is book two of my new series. The main characters were in the first book and everyone loved them and thought they deserved their own book. Connor and Regan have known each other most of their lives, but one kiss creates an unexpected deep connection, and one giant secret proves they don't know each other as well as they thought. ***** EXCERPT Connor cringed as the noise from the party hit his senses, loud and booming in his head. He

CHAPTER 6 The next morning was sunny and magnificent.  Then, a thought of Ed made everything seem less perfect. With a heavy heart, I made my way to the kitchen to start the bulldog breakfast parade. It was almost impossible not to feel hopeful while dodging a kitchen full of hungry and breakfasting bulldogs in an effort to sit down and eat your own meal. I was feeling better already. I pulled into the parking lot across from the station house while keeping an eye out for “my

TELL ME TO STOP A short story with a teaser included BLURB: Stuck in an elevator with my obsession, the last thing I want him to say is, “Tell me to stop.” His seductive kiss and expert touch warrant forgiveness for his trickery, but will his proposal to master me in submission push me too far? TEASER: It’s only Wednesday, and I’ve already had enough of this week. As a paralegal, I’m always taking work home, and tonight will be no different. This won’t be the first time I’ll

Harry Allen (picture courtesy of meditationlife90 of Pixabay) HARRY ALLEN Harry Allen is commonly what we all recognise as a ‘rough diamond’, and a ‘tough nut’ when the situation arises. Harry is, to date, my favourite character in ‘The Hurt’ trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed creating him. Harry first makes his appearance in the second part of the trilogy – ‘The Healing’, and also features in ‘The Scars’ - the third and concluding part. A gold tooth, shaved head and an earring in

EXCERPT/CHAPTER The huge leather-clad biker looming over me has just guessed my biggest secret. There’s no denying it. A past I’ve kept hidden for so long. I’ve never shared the details about that night when Billy had been given a bottle of rum as a gift and drank the whole damn lot. Perfect opportunity. Perfect crime. Perfect murder. Except I didn’t consider myself a murderer. I was a survivor. Billy had been bad news from the moment he’d walked into my clinic in his suave s

EXCERPT 'This is an extract early on in A Blend of Magic where The Enchanted Emporium in its restored state is introduced and Willow’s life is about to be thrown into turmoil with one customer.' The golden glow from a traditional gaslight acted as a beacon to all who stumbled down Black Cat Alley. It guided them to their reward for walking off the beaten track and following their instinct rather than any advertisements. The cream-painted compact building stood proudly betwee

THE BLURB When it began... Bobbi is caught in a convenience store holdup. One of the robbers wants more than cash, and orders her to her knees. She fights back, and in the ensuing chaos an oddly behaving customer takes two bullets, yet remains standing. Suddenly the two armed goons are no longer Bobbi’s biggest problem. Officers Jay Langley and Jenny Chan are called to an apartment building where someone has reportedly attacked several people. They find the broken bodies of t
