IN THE COMPANY OF WOLVES, Book 3 in my action-packed SWAT Series releases today, and I couldn’t be more excited! Its picks up where WOLF TROUBLE (SWAT 2) left off, with Becker finding "The One." I knew I had to pair the heroine Jayna Winston up with a SWAT hunk who’s the sensitive type because she had some issues to work through and needed the right alpha werewolf to help her do it. Officer Eric Becker immediately came to mind because he has this boyish quality about him that’s perfect for her. And when I heard out how many pairs of yoga pants she owns, that sealed the deal. Because we all know how much Becker loves a woman in yoga pants. Luckily, Jayna and Becker fell hard and fast for each other from the moment they met. I love their story and think you will, too! There's a new gang of criminals in town who are organized and ruthless in the extreme. When Eric Becker, along with the rest of the Dallas SWAT team, ends  up in the middle of a shootout, he imm...

Squee! It's release day for WOLF TROUBLE, Book 2 in my action-packed SWAT Series!  If you remember from Book 1 in my Special Wolf Alpha Team Series (Hungry Like the Wolf), the Dallas SWAT Team is made up of sixteen alpha werewolves. When you think of the word “alpha” you probably naturally think big, strong guys. And up until WOLF TROUBLE (Book 2 in the SWAT Series) you'd be right. There were sixteen alpha guys on the team, and in the Pack. But now you get to see how the dynamics change when the next alpha to join the Pack is a woman. Not only is she strong and aggressive like the guys, but she’s sexy as hell, too. In my SWAT Series, werewolves aren't turned from a bite, but rather by having a gene that turns on during a traumatic event. And the heroine Khaki Blake experiences one heck of an event that not just turns her into a werewolf but also forces her to leave her old life behind for a new one.  When she joins the Pack, she doesn't expect her new teammates...

How I Came Up With the Idea for HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF (SWAT 1)   I’d like to say that my inspiration for HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF—and the whole SWAT (Special Wolf Alpha Team) Series—represents a bright, shiny example of magical inspiration. But, in reality it was born from the frustration writers go through when a story idea isn’t working with us. My hubby (who helps as my writing partner) and I had been working hard on an idea for a series of erotic romances based on good, old-fashioned, alpha male cops. What woman doesn’t love a little alpha male with their erotica? They were supposed to be believable cop stories with a lot of hot sex. Should be easy enough, right? But as we started developing the various story outlines (we literally wrote half a dozen different ones, some forty-thousand words long), we kept running into the same problems over and over. Either the story ended up too procedural (i.e. boring) or too erotic (i.e. completely unbelievable in any realistic police s...

Sometimes beginning a story is easy. Sometimes it isn't. I had an idea for the beginning, then tried to come up with something different, but when I reread the opening, I liked it...so I'm off and...running with it!!! 1969 Jaguar Series II E-type roadster I kept thinking I wanted one of my jaguars to have a jaguar car, so this is it. Don't you love it??? :) Tammy Anderson, Maya and Connor's cousin, is getting to know David Patterson, Wade Patterson's brother, and already they are totally at odds. I also learned that Jaguar Hunt and the next Highland wolf story, A Hero of a Highland Wolf are coming out next spring! Woohoo! With Silence of the Wolf coming out in Feb, that makes 3. But that's not all! Mistletoe, Mayhem, and the Highland Wolf is scheduled for Oct. So another 4 books next year! Which means 3 that I have to write. :)  And in just a few days, A Highland Werewolf Wedding will be released, 2nd of the 4 books to be released this year...

What do you think? Wet and wild? Hungry and appealing? Dark and mysterious? Jaguar. Yeah, it's him, don't you think? Same look? In the fall I'm going to visit a big cat reserve in Texas with one of my coworkers. We'll wait until fall though when it's cooler and the cats are more active.

Just learned of when Highland Wolf in Paradise is coming out!
