I love romantic comedies, so it’s no surprise I love to write them as well. Two of my favorite reviews: Reminds me of a modern Doris Day romantic sex comedy, and another Bridget Jones meets Sex in the City. The Twisted Sister Club Series is about 5 friends struggling to find themselves. This is their [...]
The Knights of Avalon, the four-part erotic PNR/UF series Starry Knight launches, was born of a simple idea: to write a series incorporating different forms of divination.

For the romance part, there’s always some internal conflict keeping them apart. In other words, plenty of action and drama to keep the reader on the edge of their seat. For [...]
