Would-be Wayfarer

It's been such a long time since I posted. Bad author! Some nice things have happened. ALL THAT BLEEDS, the first novel in the Etherlin series was a Barnes & Noble "Must Read" for its release month. And ATB got some great reviews, the latest from Fresh Fiction which I'll post on the site. So here we are just six months later, and it's time for the second novel ALL THAT FALLS. I have to say that this book is the sexiest I've written so far. And it's premise was one that really inspired me. Here's the ALL THAT FALLS back cover blurb... She should never have touched his blood... The Etherlin muses have long served as a source of divine inspiration. Now their world stands between the forces of Heaven and Hell. As his muse, Cerise propelled her musician boyfriend to the heights of fame, but when he died under mysterious circumstances, her powers vanished. Now cerise is plagued by disturbing half-formed memories of his final night.....

Finally! I've been waiting for Merrick and Alissa's story to come out. Merrick is my favorite hero so far. Exceedingly deadly and dangerously romantic. New York Times Bestselling author Janet Chapman called him the perfect hero. I hope you'll enjoy reading about him as much as I enjoyed writing about him! Story Blurb: In a glittering community in the Colorado Rockies called the Etherlin, the descendants of the ancient muses live behind a wall that separates them from the dangerous creatures that crave them. Alissa North is inspiration made flesh, so she should never have met Merrick, a deadly half-vampire enforcer, but when they do meet, the connection is instantaneous, and an illicit flirtation is born. He sends her secret gifts. She writes him secret letters. The long-distance friendship was never supposed to go any farther. But when she is kidnapped and thrown briefly into his world, everything changes. Now Alissa realizes he’s the only person she can trust, and Merrick ...

A question that I get asked a lot is: "Will there be more Southern Witch stories?" The answer to that question is: YES! I bet I can predict your next question... "When?" To that I can only say: "As soon as possible." Until then, I can tell you that Tammy Jo is currently having an adventure in IRELAND (See above picture as proof.) When she returns, she will tell you all about it.

I discovered the cover for my Xmas anthology this morning on Goodreads, and I found it pretty eye-popping. In the past, I've had cartoon covers, so people have occasionally thought that I write children's books. I don't think they'll make that mistake with this cover. Welcome to Romance!
