Only three more days until you meet the Elementals and the Twixters – magical creatures embodying the elements of earth, air, fire and water.
In this scene, Brad and Cecy have spent a night in each other’s arms, only to find their lazy morning upended by the arrival of her mother, an air elemental: Continue reading
Meet the Elementals – a magical race that inhabits our world embodying the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. Cecy is a “Twixter,” the half-human offspring of an air elemental, who doesn’t always fit in with the rest of our world.
In addition to her magical heritage, Cecy bears another gift, one which will lead her to Brad, a scientist who is studying a very strange phenomenon – one that might signal a far deeper problem and a danger to life as we know it.
Together, they stumble upon a mystery that affects them both, and discover that playing it safe means nothing when love and desire are in the air.
We are four days away from publication! Windsinger is one of my most intricate stories yet – full of intrigue, full of laughs, full of magic, and (you know me…) full of STEAM!!
He wasn’t a smart choice, but he’d do.

The official cover for Windsinger!
Meet Cecy, a girl who is part Elemental – a magical race that inhabits our world imbodying the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. Cecy’s mother is an air elemental, and that makes Cecy a “Twixter” – the half-human offspring of an elemental.
In addition to her magical heritage, Cecy bears another gift, one which will lead her to Brad, a scientist who is studying a very strange phenomenon – one that might signal a far deeper problem and a danger to life as we know it.
Together, they stumble upon a mystery that affects them both, and discover that playing it safe means nothing when love and desire are in the air.
Windsinger is book one of the Elemental Destinies, and will be available via Amazon (eBook and Print) on Friday, September 25th!
There’s a difference between romance and erotica. Besides the obvious attention to certain areas of detail in one versus the other (and that line does get fuzzy – I’ve read and written plenty of romance that was straight-up ladyporn), I think one major difference is the use of intimacy to build the relationship. Erotica tends to get right to the point, while a good romance (in any genre of book) has to have a foundation.
It’s a rookie move to write a whole bunch of hot sex, slap a plot around it and suddenly have your characters end up in love. Romance doesn’t really work like that. You need to build that bridge before you happily traipse across it, and this is done by showing moments of intimacy.
For example: Game of Thrones.
The first installment in The Elemental Destiny series, Windsinger, is the story of Cecy – a girl who’s half-human, and half elemental, ancient, immortal creatures who embody the elements of earth, air, fire and water.
Being part air elemental gives her certain powers, but even among the Twixters (those who are half-human and half-elemental) she is gifted. When she finds herself strangely attracted to a human man, it complicates things.
In this scene, Brad is doing his best to get to know her, but she’s not telling him much of anything… Continue reading
She picked up her glass, clinking it to his, trying in vain to tell
herself that it was the wine making her feel warm all over.
She dressed and walked on wobbly legs to the deck, where she stared daggers at one terribly amused pirate…
His eyes darkened, and a smile slowly spread across his face. “You’re beginning to sound like a challenge,” he warned.
What happens when an American girl decides to fulfill her “Irish Bucket List” on a whim but doesn’t know where to begin? Enter Michael, the sarcastic Irish lad with the quick wit and a twinkle in his eye that says he knows exactly what he’s doing to her.
Their eyes meet across a crowded pub, and a torrid night turns into a long weekend of surprises.
When Amy and Michael uncover a secret that affects them both, will it spell the end to their whirlwind romance? Find out…Someday In Dublin!
And beginning Saturday, August 1st, you can find out for a mere $.99 – but hurry! That price will keep going up every two days throughout the week. Now’s your chance to own a wonderful, funny, poignant romance (and it makes a great beach read!)
Take a trip to Ireland, and maybe…just maybe you’ll find love when you find yourself again.
[And don’t forget, tomorrow I’ll be announcing the winners of a free copy of the book – watch here for details!]
