    Reflecting on witty banter, a dangerous hero, and a determined heroine

    The City Beneath was the third book I ever finished, but the first I published. As my debut novel, the hero (Dominic Lysander) and heroine (Cassidy DiRocco) will always have a special place in my heart. Writing their witty banter was especially fun because Dominic is such a dangerous, dark character and watching the sparks…

    The City Beneath | Favorite Quotes & Witty Banter

    The banter between Cassidy and Dominic could fill an entire book… oh, wait. It did. Four of them, actually 😂 “You did something different,” I insisted. “Tell yourself whatever lies allow you to face yourself in the mirror, but the truth is that I did nothing more than heal you. Whatever you felt, and whatever…

  • Day Reaper | Goodreads Five-Star Review

    Day Reaper is book 4 and the finale of the Night Blood series. Although I highly recommend reading these books in order (each book picks up where the last ends) Bianca78 seemed to love Day Reaper all on its own. “This book was a gripping, action-packed urban fantasy from start to finish.” —Bianca78, Goodreads review.

  • The City Beneath | Witty Banter

    Usually I focus on Dominic and Cassidy’s witty banter in The City Beneath, but Walker has his moments too: “This whole damsel in distress gig is a bad habit, DiRocco.” “Bad habits die hard,” I whispered. “I thought that was old habits.” “All my old habits are bad habits.”

  • Throwback Thursday | Very First Book Signing

    Nearly a full 10 years ago, I had my very first book signing at my hometown Eastern Monroe Public Library. So much has improved since then – my hair, my wardrobe and my table set up for starters LOL!! – but more than throwback cringe, this memory is especially dear to me because this was…

  • Sweet Last Drop | Favorite Quotes

    One of my favorite quotes from Sweet Last Drop, Night Blood blood 2: “You’re being dramatic,” Dominic growled. “Drinking from you won’t kill you. You don’t need the entire cow to make a hamburger, remember? And neither do I, concerning you.” “Number one, I don’t like being compared to a cow. It’s insulting. And number…

    Writing the witty banter between Cassidy and Walker throughout The City Beneath was exhilarating, and this quote is one of my favorites: “This whole damsel in distress gig is a bad habit, DiRocco.” “Bad habits die hard,” I whispered. “I thought that was old habits.” “All my old habits are bad habits.”

  • Sweet Last Drop | Five Star Review

    This 5 star review is extra special because I actually met Alyssa in person at Jax Book Fest many years ago. My Night Blood Series seemed to instantly resonate with her. “This book was awesome! It was hard to stop reading; every page leaves you anticipating what is going to happen next.” —Alyssa S. I’m…

  • Day Reaper, Night Blood 4 | Book Reading

    Can you believe that in 2018, I published my fourth book? Day Reaper is the 4th and final installment in the Night Blood series. This story is about growth – between loved ones and within. I think Dominic sums it up nicely: “Night bloods cannot prepare for or against the transformation. Once we are transformed,…
