Werewolves were vampires’ worst enemy.  The Scheng general snarled at me and spittle dripped down his soaked muzzle. I circled him slowly, noting the corpses at my feet so I wouldn’t trip, as he watched my every move with eyes glowing blue. The wisps of moonlight dancing around his body were like unpredictable flames, though they didn’t burn. He would be formidable.

I said before that the majority of my books take place in the same universe (which doesn't have an official name yet but probably should--I've been calling it Sleeping Dragons). Prime and Trinity are two of the three main worlds in that universe. I'll announce the other when its first […]

When I write a love story, I want to see it from all sides of the relationship(s). Though, I don't always do this because I don't think all stories need it. That's how I decide points of view and tense and everything--it's all based on what this story needs. In Nightshade Academy, the […]

I must confess I've never read Dracula, which I believe is the classic vampire novel. Don't quote me on that, because that's how little I know about Dracula. There have been so many versions of vampires that it would be interesting to know how everyone who likes them got started on them. […]

I have the curse/blessing of a million ideas. The number of stories I want to write is huge. And it keeps growing. Unfortunately, I am only human. I doubt I'll get to write EVERY story. That's where things get hard, because I have to choose which stories to write. When […]
