Upcoming Romance Novel Code of The Wolf

New fantasy short story Mist

Welcome.

I've been reading science fiction and fantasy since my fifth grade teacher read Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time to our class. From that moment, I was hooked on science fiction and fantasy.

Since 1994 I've mostly written paranormal romance novels - all of which have a strong fantasy element. Some of my stories are straight SF/fantasy tales. In both cases, drama and strong, deep personal relationships are a hallmark of my work.
