A novella beginning the Children of Fenrir full-length novels. Read how it all starts! Sonja Michaelson has a monumental taste for bad men. So, when an alpha male in motorcycle gear walked into her bar and snatched a dart aimed at his head, she fell so fast and hard her impact could have leveled a small city. Whether the connection would turn into love or remain lust didn't matter. The damage had already been done. Raul Anderson's mission was simple: find the girl, convince her to turn, bring her back to Hemlock Hollow, and in doing so, save his sister's life. His target had been primed by a father who loved the lore of their culture and kind, so it should have been easy. He expected a half-Swedish, half-Cherokee princess used to having everything handed to her, one who would jump at the chance of quintupling her lifespan by becoming a werewolf. But when he saw the black-haired beauty, holding her own behind the bar and working her butt off to pay her way through med school, it threw a wrench into his plans. And hooked him deep in the heart. Would love surmount the divide between them or damn them before it even began?If you like Patricia Briggs, Christine Feehan, Kait Ballenger, or Norse mythology, you'll love this Viking inspired paranormal romance!

I am honored, in my own tiny way, to be a part of this history. After years spent surrounded by books, both in my personal life and in a professional capacity as a librarian, I began looking at story craft as something I didn't just want to consume but wanted to be able to create. I've always needed some sort of artistic outlet in order to maintain emotional balance. Writing is that outlet for me, and even though writing can be stressful and overwhelming at times, it's immensely gratifying to shape and reshape a sentence until it looks and sounds just as I want it to.Q: What do you write?A: I'm a multi-genre writer with a love of all things speculative, including paranormal, sci-fi, and fantasy. I like to challenge myself to write outside my comfort zone, so I've tried my hand at horror and romance too (most of my work has a romantic component, but writing contemporary romance is a thing unto itself!). My current series, Spirit Seeker, takes traditional paranormal tropes, such as the lustful, bloodthirsty vampire, and attempts to turn them on their heads. I gently poke fun at well-worn themes and try to provide genre twists that include both humor and mystery-and romance, of course!Q: Why should readers pick up your books?A: Whether you love paranormal romance with the passion of 100 swooning vampires, are new to the genre, or even if it's not your jam, you will find something to love in Blood King, book one of the Spirit Seeker series. It offers a fast-paced and engaging story filled with psychics, monsters, and several different kinds of baked treats. If I don't have you laughing, gasping, and holding back tears at some point during its telling, then simply visit one of my main characters, Elis Tanner, for a hypnotherapy session (first visit is free!). Once you've spent five minutes with him, you'll… wait, what was that? You LOVE the story now?

Love has no place in war, and these two enemies play to win."All in all this is a very fun and steamy read. With some laugh out loud moments, it is ideal for a cozy night in front of the fire." - InD'tale MagazineAUTHOR INTERVIEWQ: Why do you write?A: I fell in love with reading when I was six, and every story I've told since then has been a love letter to writing.Q: What books do you write?A: I discovered romance novels in my thirties, which seems late in life, but once I was hooked, that was what I wanted to create. Since I can't be too serious for more than a few minutes at a time, romcoms are my saving grace.SYCAMORE COVE GAMES THE 12 DARES OF CHRISTMAS (book 1) MISCHIEVOUSLY MINE (book 2) Q: Why should readers pick up your books? A: My biggest hope is that readers have fun, laugh, and swoon until they can't see straight when they pick up my books. The roller-coaster of emotions, the belief that nothing has gone so horribly wrong that love can't fix it, and that warm satisfaction at the happy end are all what I want to give my readers.
