Aug. 7th come celebrate the paperback release of and listen on a bit about on Reader’s Entertainment Radio. We’ll be talking about my Dark series, answering reader questions and having a great time! It’s at 1PM Pacific/ 4 PM Eastern and lasts half an hour -

I think it’s easy to see acts of courage when there’s a battle raging all around. It’s easy to see when the villain is obvious and engaged in evil. Our hero and heroine show their courage when they fight that evil either physically, psychically or perhaps with magic. But, there’s another kind of courage and strength that is often overlooked and that’s the courage of emotion.

If you think about it, being brave in light of overwhelming vulnerability can be the hardest fight of all. The scars can be the deepest. Losing an emotional battle can change you just as a physical fight can.






There’s a quiet strength to both Ferro and Elisabeta in . Hers is perhaps more obvious. She’s fighting years and years of abuse. Years of being told she’s worth nothing. Years of head games and horror. Now, she’s escaped and every day, every decision she makes for herself, is an act of courage. Sometimes the greatest courage is not giving up. And smoldering beneath that vulnerability and fear is a quiet strength few see. But before it’s all over, her courage will surprise them all.

For Ferro his quiet strength is even more subdued. He’s a fierce warrior and even the other ancients fear him. He has a reputation from centuries of fighting. So, when his lifemate needs him as her shield he becomes that without fanfare. Without thought. He simply becomes what she needs regardless of how that makes him appear outwardly to the others.


As a couple their strength is in their patience with each other. And later, when everything falls apart, it is in the total trust they must give each other in order to survive.

Celebrating the upcoming release of with a fun game. Let me know what your song title is!

In Ferro and Elisabeta talk about each other’s “song��. It’s what they hear in the other’s soul. It’s like an aura of soul music that sings of that person’s character, intent and spirit. This isn’t the first time I’ve written about someone having a song or music around them. Even in other books music has always played an important role in my stories.






Sometimes a character can see notes playing or feel an aura of music coming from someone. Sometimes my characters play an instrument or sing, and the music reflects who they are or how they feel. and both include music in the story. In the song is in small stanzas at the top of each chapter. And let’s not forget the Dark Troubadours!






For Dark Song I knew I wanted to include music and I asked my talented son, Caedyn to help write a song that could represent the book. We collaborated with me writing a chapter and sending it to him to write a verse that would match the mood of that chapter.
I loved the song so much it is included in the book at the front and then lines from the song appear at the top of each chapter like in Dark Peril.





I’ll be the bright star, in the dark hour of night;
When you’re feeling lost, I will be your light.
I am by your side with every step you take;
Fighting every demon, your love I won’t forsake.
When evil seeks a place, deep within your mind;
I will be your shield, protecting what’s inside.
I can’t heal your scars or take away the pain;
But I can be your shelter, a refuge all the same.

I’ll teach you the words, and show you the way;
You’re strong on your own but tell me you’ll stay.
A symphony of power rolling through the land;
You and I together, here we make our stand.
Once blinded by the wicked, now your eyes are clear;
Look inside yourself, there’s nothing left to fear.
The cage has collapsed, the prisoner stands tall;
The battle is ours to end, once and for all.
Now tell me this and tell me true;
Say you’ll choose me, as I chose you.

What once was a blaze, grows stronger than before;
A metal in the forge, turns a sword for the war.
A life of hope sings to you, melodies of devotion;
A world of love awaits, vaster than the ocean.

is meant to be a beautiful love story that reminds us that we are all vulnerable at some point and need to trust someone. I’ve always felt that trust and love are tightly intertwined, and I wanted to show that with Elisabeta and Ferro’s story.




Elisabeta was a prisoner for years hidden away from, not only the Carpathians, but the world. The only constant in her life was her tormentor. But she was strong enough to survive and not let her horrible experience make her bitter or cruel. Her heart, her light, her goodness would not only save her, it would save the lifemate who’d fought for centuries to remove evil from the world. Even though she was in a weakened state when they rescued her she was still strong in mind, heart and spirit. But she needed help. She knew nothing of the modern world. She was very young when she was taken. Now she would have to put her life and her heart into the hands of a very dangerous man.




Lifemates are two parts to one soul and they are created specifically for one another. Ferro had killed vampires for centuries. The darkness called to him and nearly consumed him until he found her. Instead of just claiming her and taking what was his he knew instinctively that he needed to earn her trust…and her love. He wanted to be everything she needed just as she was everything to him. That would require patience and awareness and all the discipline he had.

Together Elisabeta and Ferro work to find their way to each other and in the world as a couple. It’s a sweet, sensual romance that shows just how much someone is willing to sacrifice or overcome in order to have the greatest gift of all.
