The other night, I had what I call a “story” dream. In these I’m either a character or an onlooker in some scenario. My husband and I were doing the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage … in the middle ages. We must have been a noble couple, because we had nice clothes and rode horses. WeContinue reading “Dreams and Inspiration (aka, Where do you get your ideas?)”

Haunted Houses
In the Shifters Unbound series, one of the characters is a haunted house outside of New Orleans. I introduce this house in Wild Things, and use it extensively in Red Wolf, The Last Warrior, and especially in A Shifter Christmas Carol. It’s not really “haunted” in the conventional sense, but is sentient, with its ownContinue reading “Haunted Houses”

Find it at My web store: https://geni.us/0khJTk Kindle:Continue reading “New Book, and Happy New Year!”
Full Circle (and Happy Holidays)
In October this year, my husband and I took a trip to Catalina Island off the coast of California. We are luckily close to this jewel–a short airplane hop and an hour on the ferry away. We’d gone there the year before as well, to attend the annual jazz festival. Three days of concerts byContinue reading “Full Circle (and Happy Holidays)”
Reading for the Holidays
I tried to do a new holiday story this year, but it’s been a full year, I’m working on several books right now, and I’m not sure if I can squeeze one in (if I do, I’ll let you know!). I realized, though, that I do have a number of holiday novellas already, so IContinue reading “Reading for the Holidays”
Continuing the Kat Holloway series
I realized this summer that my publisher has scheduled the Below Stairs Mysteries books quite far apart (next one, A Silence in Belgrave Square, is August 2025), so I decided to write two new novellas to fill in the gap. The first one: A Measure of Menace, is finished and ready for release over theContinue reading “Continuing the Kat Holloway series”
