What Else

It’s ALL about romance!!!

But what genres do I write?

I started out ‘safe’. Warm fuzzy curl-up-with-it types. Then something changed for me. I don’t know why I got the idea, nor why the direction my mind my took off in. But I do know when. It all started as I listened to the coyotes howling outside my window one snowy night in January 2009. That was also when Healing Whispers was born and explains why this series is still sitting on the warmer burner instead of ‘In the fire’.

I love my cowboys, but I have a paranormal series in the works. These also veer from my usual sweet/spicy-ish romances in that they are really not nice men. They don’t talk nice, and they don’t act nice. Typical bad boys?

Sure, if typical grew teeth and bit the heroine to gain that sexual euphoric high necessary to claim their true life mate!

This present day series is a about the descendants of a Cherokee Indian tribe cursed by their medicine man, or Kutani, back in the 1800’s. Vsali cursed all males of the mountain, while protecting his pure bloodline. (Here you need to understand that bloodlines of the Cherokee people flows through the females, rather than the males.) He was banned from the mountain because of the curse, as was all Kutani- particularly his descendants. His female descendants only throw more females to keep his line safe from the curse. But the men of the mountain become wolves when they reach the age of adulthood, of accountability. Now, this age varies because not all men come to this point in their lives at the same age. Mental growth varies and so does accountability.

Many Kutani women have come and gone through Vsali’s lineage. Somewhere along the line these women began to try to undo the curse. Their efforts have only altered it through the years so that when my stories begin the heroes can change, or shift, to human. Otherwise, they live normal lives. Well, as normal as a man can when he may turn into a wolf at the most inopportune time.

But there is one way around the curse and the oldest brother, Reese, takes it. It saves him, but not his sons if he returns to the mountain.

I hope to bring these couples to you soon. You can check out my wolve’s debut public appearance at my friend, and super author, Gale Stanley’s blog! And Colusa was the original name of my fictitious mountain, in case you’re wondering. This name has since changed.
