Welcome to my worlds!
Yes, worlds. It's simple really. You see, I’m a mother, daughter, writer and editor. In other words, I’m four people living in a single body. Mind you, it gets very crowded in here at times, especially when my characters decide they want to be heard. This usually happens when I'm writing something completely unrelated to the character that is suddenly demanding my attention. No, I'm not crazy. At least no crazier than any other writer. ;-)
Like most other writers, I'm working on several projects at one time. Usually something along the line of editing one project, writing another and planning yet another. Oh, and then there's the other job -- during the day — and often into the night — I’m the senior executive editor (read chief bottle washer ;-p ) for Naked Reader Press.

Nocturnal Origins is the first book i n the Nocturnal Lives series. Set is Dallas, it is part police procedural, part urban fantasy.
Some things can
never be forgotten, no matter how hard you try.
Detective
Sergeant Mackenzie Santos knows that bitter lesson all too well.
The day she died changed her life and her perception of the world
forever.It doesn’t matter that everyone, even her doctors, believe
a miracle occurred when she awoke in the hospital morgue. Mac knows
better. It hadn't been a miracle, at least not a holy one. As far
as she’s concerned, that's the day the dogs of Hell came for
her.
Investigating one
of the most horrendous murders in recent Dallas history, Mac also
has to break in a new partner and deal with nosy reporters who
follow her every move and who publish confidential details of the
investigation without a qualm.
Complicating
matters even more, Mac learns the truth about her family and
herself, a truth that forces her to deal with the monster within,
as well as those on the outside.But none of this matters as much as
discovering the identity of the murderer before he can kill
again.

Nocturnal Serenade is the second book in the Nocturnal Lives series.
Lt. Mackenzie
Santos of the Dallas Police Department learns there are worst
things than finding out you come from a long line of shapeshifters.
At least that’s what she keeps telling herself. It’s not that she
resents suddenly discovering she can turn into a jaguar. Nor is it
really the fact that no one warned her what might happen to her one
day. Although, come to think of it, her mother does have a lot of
explaining to do when – and if – Mac ever talks to her again. No,
the real problem is how to keep the existence of shapeshifters
hidden from the normals, especially when just one piece of forensic
evidence in the hands of the wrong technician could lead to their
discovery.
Add
in blackmail, a long overdue talk with her grandmother about their
heritage and an attack on her mother and Mac’s life is about to get
a lot more complicated. What she wouldn’t give for a
run-of-the-mill murder to investigate. THAT would be a nice change
of pace.

Nocturnal Haunts is the third entry in the Nocturnal Lives series.
Mackenzie Santos has seen just about everything in more than ten years as a cop. The last few months have certainly shown her more than she'd ever expected. When she's called out to a crime scene and has to face the possibility that there are even more monsters walking the Earth than she knew, she finds herself longing for the days before she started turning furry with the full moon.
Nocturnal Haunts is a 30,000 word novella.
