Excerpt
I inched
forward, far enough to see past the end of the alley and into the loading area
of the abandoned Walmart. Only one stubborn streetlight on the other side of
the broken security fence cast its inadequate glow across the cracked asphalt.
Shadows pushed around the edges of the open space, deepening where they
cluttered up against rusty dumpsters and smashed crates.
My heart
thudded against my ribs at the sight of the woman standing just inside the
slash of light, huddling in on herself, shaking. She was average height and on
the plump side, around twenty like me, with light brown hair. Unlike me, her
boobs looked ready to spill out of the low-cut halter top she wore, and her
tight micro skirt was so close to showing her goods that if she twitched, I'd
be scarred for life.
Three male
vamps cruised around her like sharks. Their fangs were displayed like sharp,
curved knives, their features sunken parodies of a human face, more like fleshy
skulls as their insatiable hunger gained control. I wondered how much money
they'd offered to lure her out of her zone and into such a dangerously secluded
area. Maybe all they'd needed was to promise her the erotic trip that their
venom gave. Either way, she'd made a fatal error.
People were
incredibly stupid about vampires. They had no idea what they were dealing with.

Meet the Author
I live in
North Carolina with my boisterous family–husband, three kids, a dog and a
geriatric bunny–and yup, I’m Southern so occasionally I let a “y’all” slip
out. Maybe more than occasionally.
I love my job
and dedicate as much of my time to writing as I can. When I’m not doing the
weaving of the adventurous and romantic tales, I’m running errands, driving people
around (or crazy depending on your perspective), and generally pretending I’m a
grownup.
When I was
fifteen, I knew I wanted to be a novelist–wanted to write for Harlequin
actually. But the calling to tell stories came a lot earlier than that, I just
didn’t know what it meant.
I had a lot
of growing up to do before I could manage it, though many would claim the
growing up part didn’t take--you know who you are--but I finally have my dream
job.
Life rocks—so
should the books you read!
What are you working
on right now?
I just finished updating my webpage. Whew. Glad that’s over.
Next up is Book 2 in the Dangerous Magic series—Undercover Magic. Can’t wait to
get back into Addison’s world!
What do you think
you’re really good at?
I think that’s really hard to judge for yourself, so I asked
my kids. Top three answers: being a mom, sense of humor, and cooking. –Dudes,
where’s the storytelling? I’m good at storytelling. See if I dedicate anymore
books to you people!
What do you think
you’re really bad at?
Same problem; it’s hard to judge for yourself. So I went
back to my consultants. Top three answers from the kids: coding webpages, math,
and making popcorn. –Fair enough. I do always burn the popcorn.
Best movie ever
made?
Totoro. So pretty!
