...Romance Author...
Welcome...
In the last five years, I've gone from querying agents, to publishing my first book (Whispers in Time) through a rinky-dink indepedent publisher who ultimately crashed and burned, to publishing my first and second novels myself.
Now I've finished a third novel, Kissing Mr. Bellamy and a fourth (paranormal romance), Twelfth Moon, Legend of the Pantera. I returned to querying literary agents for these two books, and even received some positive feedback on both of them. Unfortunately, book publishing is a tight market right now, so I really haven't had any success in that area.
So . . . I did the next best thing. I published Whispers in Time, The Devil Rogue, Kissing Mr. Bellamy, and the first in a 3-book series, Twelfth Moon, Legend of the Pantera, on Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's NOOK.

I'm very excited about it and hope for better success in the eBook market.
I've also recently published on Smashwords, where you can purchase eBooks and download in any or all electronic formats.
What book am I working on now?
Well...right now , I'm working on a 3-book Paranormal / Shape-shifter Romance series, Legend of the Pantera, which takes place in America's Post Civil War time period.
Spanning from Texas to Louisiana, the first book, Twelfth Moon, is about Cadence, the oldest of three sisters who, because of a spell cast generations ago by their gypsy ancestors, are able to transform into panthers.
U.S. Marshal, Jonah Kincaid, has been trailing Cadence for the murder of his brother, and arrives at the scene of a lynching - Cadence's. Ironically, she's about to be hanged for a murder she didn't commit.
Except that Jonah thinks he's been tracking a young boy.
And Cadence has this itsy-bitsy little problem: The women in her family go through a phase once a year, during the full moon, and are compelled to "mate," so it gets pretty steamy when she's saved - and then captured - by the ruggedly handsome U.S. Marshall.
Also in the story, there's an Apache tribe that is from the spirit world - it actually exists - who are trapped in this world, and need the help of Cadence's sister, Jaelene.
