WARRIOR’S HEART Releases Today!

WARRIOR’S HEART releases today in ebook from Samhain Publishing. WARRIOR’S HEART is a new version of an old story by the same name that was published in 2006 by a very small publisher that has since gone out of business. So if you weren’t able to get the old version, here’s your chance! This new version has been spiffed up quite a bit and I’m still very proud of this tale, which was always planned to be the first in a series, but with the publisher problems, it got stalled. I’m glad to say the train is back on the rails now and hopefully more of these stories will be coming soon. Now a little bit about the story…

It’s a paranormal featuring a military hero. Here’s the blurb:

He’s home to claim the girl he never forgot…but more than war memories have changed him.

Gifts of the Ancients, Book 1

Hal’s best-friend status with Casey’s brother always meant that the one woman he wants is strictly off limits. But now that he’s back from a harrowing mission in the ancient Iraqi city of Babylon, all bets are off. The strangely mystical experience left him and his Special Forces team with a new appreciation for life—and strange new abilities they are only beginning to understand.

Casey never thought she’d have a shot with the strong, silent Green Beret. Something about him has changed, though, and old feelings have risen up, demanding an answer. And her answer is an unequivocal yes. Now, to break the news to her brother and hope it doesn’t come to blows.

Her brother’s reaction becomes the least of her worries when Hal singlehandedly stops a car from running her down, then falls into her arms, weak from some kind of strange reaction. Whatever went down in Iraq has changed Hal and made him a target of foreign agents who’ve found his one vulnerability…Casey.

Warning: This title contains dirty talk, sweaty carpentry sex and a sexy Special Forces super hero.

INFERNO – Now in Print!

INFERNO is now in print!

A forbidden union forged in love-and tempered in hellfire.

One last task and Megan will be free of the debt of honor owed by her family. Spying on Dante, a powerful vampire with questionable friends, sounds simple enough. But her mission is complicated by the fact she’s got something every vampire wants-tangy, powerful, werewolf blood.

It’s easy to capture his attention. The hard part will be getting out with her heart — and soul — intact. Not to mention her life, thanks to a crazed bomber.

Dante isn’t the kind to forgive or forget easily, especially the grudge he holds against werewolves. Still, he is instantly drawn to the injured lone wolf in his care. When he and his friend Duncan treat her wounds, they discover something that marks her as much more than she seems.

The mark is a neon sign warning to be careful, but Dante can’t help himself. He wants her and nothing will stand in his way. Not her species. Not his. Not the strange woman who keeps trying to kill him.

Not even the magical poison in Megan’s blood…

Instead, she’s attacked by creatures straight out of a horror movie. Waking a week later in a hospital, Sarah is visited by Special Forces soldier Captain Xavier Beauvoir. The zombies who attacked Sarah are the result of military research gone terrifyingly wrong, and Sarah’s immunity to the virus makes her the perfect person to help Xavier eradicate them. But his smooth Cajun accent, whiskey-colored eyes, and dizzying kiss are risky to her in a very different way. Sarah attracts danger like a magnet—and the smart, fearless cop attracts Xavier too, instilling a bone-deep need that’s undermining his steady façade.   Enlisting her aid is a necessary gamble, but vicious undead creatures are not the only enemy they face.

New Cover: The Beast Within

Got a new cover to show off — the Halloween anthology which will contain my 3rd zombie story called SMOKE ON THE WATER. This cover is so hot, I sort of wish my story was a werewolf tale!

The novella in this book is a little side adventure featuring John Petit, the older brother of the heroine in ONCE BITTEN, TWICE DEAD. He’s a CIA operative and former Marine. (I know – there are no “former” Marines. Once a Marine, always a Marine, right? Semper Fi.) He’s been tapped to join the select team of people fighting the zombie infestation because of his CIA resources and combat experience. Plus the fact that is baby sister is involved up to her neck and she can’t hide anything from her all-too-observant older brother.

John is sent on a mission to San Francisco with a female partner who is only on the team because she was attacked by a zombie and survived. She was a graduate student in chemical engineering when her life altered forever. Now she’s part of the team and it’s up to John to take her under his wing and show her how it’s done.

She makes some mistakes along the way, but when they follow the trail to a fishing camp in Middle Tennessee, they are on their own. The team back at base has their hands full and John and Donna must fend for themselves against a small army of zombies and the insane woman who created them.

It’s kind of a fun story with a fair bit of adventure in it along with a whole lot of romance as John and Donna fall in love. John’s a total hottie and sharp as a tack – the total package of brains and brawn - and Donna is the perfect partner for him – intelligent, caring and adventurous.

So what do you think of the cover? I’m liking those abs. Yum.
