It’s my indie anniversary! A year ago, l republished Drained on my own. There’s still been plenty of tears but far fewer than when someone else owned Sarlona and Benton’s story. So, I’m celebrating!

Cat on a roof.

Happy #Caturday!

Her daughter was in a little oak box... It took all Dagmar's focus to picture the young woman as anything but a burning, shrieking husk. To see her face, soft and smiling, eyes sparkling like the sea. Dagmar had stolen so many smiles from her.

No romance this week. But there was a spark involved.

Happy Monday! Lots of editing left to do, but I’m getting excited for Daughter of the Northern Night, so I thought I’d share a mood board. #5amWritersClub #DarkRomance #DarkRomantasy #MonsterRomance

He smoothed her hair. “Be still, naughty girl. No more fighting.” Thrashing and growling like a trapped wildcat, she tried to sink her bloodied teeth into him a second time. “Get off me, demon!” “My name is Glaucus. And I’ve told you what I am.” Hells spawn. She bucked, strained, clawed, kicked—rabid for escape. Until his fingertips found her bare skin again. Then she stilled for him. Softened. A tingling warmth rippled from his touch, filling her with sweetness. Momentarily tamed, she leaked a groan.

If she didn’t want him to feed on her, she shouldn’t have raided his village.

Prompt: name

From Daughter of the Northern Night. Coming this fall!
