Coastal Magic 2016 was the best romance reader con I have attended. Hands-down, no question. I loved it so much, I want all of you to love it too! Coastal Magic is designed to feel intimate and friendly, so it will always be small, no matter how popular it becomes. Registration hasn’t even opened for 2017 and I’m already anxious to reserve a spot. Why? I’m about to give you allll the goods!

Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in Daytona Beach in February. Last year was my first time visiting the Coastal Magic Convention, and I had such a blast with the fabulous readers that I had to come back!

I’m not known for my amazing [...]

Hello! I’m truly delighted to share Book 2 in the Vigilante series, “Who Knows the Dark.” The roots of this series goes back to a moment in a bookstore when I randomly picked up a Dean Koontz book called “Lightning.”

It was the cover, the blurb, curiosity. I’d been a romance-only reader for a long time and then switched to fantasy. I couldn’t figure out the genre of this book which also might have intrigued me!
