Review of The Line Between
Blurb: Rule number one, whenever we want each other, we can come to each other. Day or night. Paisley never imagined she’d hear those words coming from the demon lord, but nothing has gone according to plan. Following the murder of her parents, Paisley becomes queen for the vampyre and faye factions. The day she’s crowned, a threat pits her up against Lord Case, an infuriating demon who claims he wants her the first time they meet. And damn if she doesn’t desire him, too. Exc

Review of Ararat
Blurb: When a newly engaged couple climbs Mount Ararat in Turkey, an avalanche forces them to seek shelter inside a massive cave uncovered by the snow fall. The cave is actually an ancient, buried ship that many quickly come to believe is really Noah’s Ark. When a team of scholars, archaeologists, and filmmakers make it inside the ark for the first time, they discover an elaborate coffin in its recesses. The artifact tempts their professional curiosity; so they break it open.

Review of The Witchstone
Blurb: Meet Laszlo, eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hell’s least productive Curse Keeper. From his office beneath Midtown, he oversees the Drakeford Curse, which involves a pathetic family upstate and a mysterious black stone. It’s a sexy enough assignment—colonial origins, mutating victims, et cetera—but Laszlo has no interest in maximizing the curse’s potential; he’d rather sunbathe in Ibiza, quaff martinis, and hustle the hustlers on Manhattan’s subway. Unfortunately, his

Review of Unintended
Blurb: He’s too young. She’s too damaged. But since when has love played by the rules? Evie From the outside, it looks like I’ve got my life together. A place to live and a successful business sure can hide a lot, namely the scars that remain from everything I’ve lost. The truth? I’m a shattered heart bundled up in a walking shell of anxiety. Until him. Ash Abuse comes in many forms, but who would believe me if I told them I was suffering at the hands of the woman I love? I k

Thinking On My Next Projects
Image source from Unsplash That image is frighteningly accurate. I sometimes lay there with a notebook on my face and let myself think. Maybe the scent of ink and paper helps? My carpet doesn't look nearly as plush though. I'm finishing off a romance book for my pen name (Alora James) that I wanted done two months ago. I dragged my feet because the story was already done in my head and I was ready for something new. This is why I'm a pantser. I need the novelty and the surpri
