Works in Progress
Vegas Bites Again
The Anthology trilogy comes to an exciting conclusion with Vegas Bites Again! My contribution to the third installment is called IN WALKS TROUBLE. Here's a bit about the story:
Special Agent Devon Archer has faced dangerous situations before and come out unscathed. Her life as a covert operative in the Department of Domestic Affairs had her infiltrating hate and supremacists groups on American soil. Her life has depended more than once on remaining cool under fire. Yet her success rate as an operative doesn't prepare her for her toughest and most dangerous assignment yet: convincing her werewolf husband, Marcus Temple, that she had good reason for running out on him during their honeymoon. Unfortunately for them both, her boss and handler is intent on making the reunion a deadly one--and the start of war between the preternatural and human communities.
What White Boyz Ride
We had so much fun with the first one, we're doing it again! The theme of this anthology is boys and their toys--bikes, cars, boats, and surfboards. Here's a bit about my story, RODE HARD:
Regina Maria Lourdes Lieberman is having a midlife crisis years early. It may have something to do with how happy her best friend Kat is with her Sicilian restaurateur, the result of Kat getting out of her comfort zone. Gina realizes she's been in a rut too, so she impulsively takes a job catering an elite Bike Week party in Daytona. When one of the bikers at her party dares her to go for a ride, she jumps on the back of his bike. Matt Ryan is more than willing to have Gina astride his--uhm, bike--he's been waiting for the chance for more than a decade. When Gina realizes her bad boy fling is her former geeky high school lab partner, will she shift to neutral or hang on for the ride of her life?
Carnivale Diabolique
A blend of urban fantasy and romance featuring JM Jeffries, Monica Jackson, and myself. With these ladies involved, you know I have to bring it! Here's a bit about my story, THE SHARPEST EDGE:
The North American Carnivale is called to the portal town of Elberton, Georgia. The Guidestones, a twenty-foot tall granite structure known as "America's Stonehenge," need to be consecrated again to prevent its use by the demon Kolliadon and his hordes. The Carnivale has to find the woman who will be able to unlock the time capsule buried beneath the Explanatory Tablet and therefore reseal the portal. The Carnivale's strong man Anaru is tasked with finding this mysterious woman. Unfortunately, Kalliadon’s minions are looking for her too.
Camryn Hodges has been drawn to the hilltop structure for years without knowing why. Her nightmares have been increasingly terror-filled, and she thinks she's losing her mind when she starts seeing hallucinations in daylight, in the diner she manages. But when she is attacked at the guidestones, she decides it's time to run. Luckily for her, she runs right into Anarua's strong tattoo-covered arms. With the Maori warrior and his tattoos-as-weapons arsenal at her back, Cam discovers she no longer has to fight alone.
A Trick of Shadows
Book Two of the Legere Legacy features Darien Legere Antonescu, one of Nicole's brothers and a magician. When Nicole warns him that someone will need his assistance during a performance, Darien agrees to be ready. He doesn't expect to find beautiful Mia Hargreaves hiding in his audience, but when she asks him to help her disappear for real, he finds himself more than willing to help--even if that puts his heart and his life in danger.
This title will be released late fall, 2008. Please check back for excerpts and cover info!
