A single light gleams from a castle tower where no light should be.
Thunder cannonades against the stone walls, heralding the storm’s arrival.
Lightning shatters the night sky, illuminating a man, a woman and the shadowy figure looming over them.
Suddenly, a scream crescendos above the fury of the storm!
Welcome to my world!
I’ve always had a love affair with dark, gothic, romances, whether creeping through a haunted house with Nancy Drew, or shivering in the shadowy corridors of Manderley with the unamed heroine of Rebecca.
I love the sophisticated—yet somehow menacing—heroes. The charming smile that hides the evil heart of the villain. The mansions/castles/abbeys/estates that become characters in their own right. And I love the heroines willing to dare all for the ultimate prize—a happily ever after.
When I could no longer find historical gothic romances easily in the book store, I decided to write my own. Information about my manuscripts and works in progress are found on the Bookshelf page, with additional fun facts about them (including their “gothic” titles!) on the Shiny Things page.
I hope you enjoy exploring my worlds, where menace lurks behind every door, candles flicker in dim corridors, and walls echo with the mournful howling coming from the moors. A world of dark heroes, daring heroines, desire forged in the crucible of danger, and
Romance to Die for….
