DARKNESS CALLS is a book of my heart for several reasons. I was in a very dark place in my life when I decided to write it. 9/11 had just happened, and the emotional turmoil from it scarred me. I’d sold nine books to a publisher, but they decided to close down the line, and a new editor wasn’t receptive to a dark paranormal romantic suspense. The agent I had at the time didn’t believe in the book and didn’t do much to sell it. Back then, indie publishing wasn’t an option. But I believed in the book and wrote it, putting a lot of my angst into it. What came out changed my career. To my surprise, the publisher interested in it was Harlequin, and they bought it! They had nowhere to put a novel that was Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The X-Files. But they found a spot, and three years later, the fourth book in the series launched the Nocturne line. There are at least a dozen books in the series, but the first book, DARKNESS CALLS, will always be special, and because of that, I decided to honor it with a brand new cover by a fabulous artist. What do you think? If you haven’t already read this book of my heart, you can grab it for only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/4oUJ7qw.

I was thinking of doing a special giveaway to celebrate the release of K-9 TRACKER. Since some of the scenes are set on the Jersey Shore, I was going to create a shore-themed glass bottle similar to the photo below. The bottle would be a pump bottle filled with fragrant hand soap and would be decorated with sand, beads, and shells. What do you think? Would you like something like that as a giveaway? P.S. You can pre-order K-9 TRACKER and grab the other books in the Crooked Pass Security series and K-9 spinoff at https://amzn.to/3RGlxBp.

A man and his K-9
Will defend her from danger

When Sergeant Mark Dillon’s K-9 police dog, Rocky, alerts him to something off a mountain path, he doesn’t expect it to be a young woman. Luckily, “Amanda” is alive—but her memory is gone and she has no idea who has left her for dead. As the investigation grows, Mark suspects Amanda is a witness who knows too much. Since she only trusts him, this undeniable connection means Mark and Rocky will do whatever it takes to uncover her buried truths…and keep her alive.
