In August 2011, I’m self-publishing a novel called Freaks and the Revolution. It’s a young adult dystopian/steampunk story that I’m absolutely in love with. Self-publishing is an experiment that I’m documenting at Will Write for Peanuts. You can read the prologue to Freaks and the Revolution at We Are the Freaks or join the Freaks on Facebook.
I am addicted to a good story. In fact, I think a good story is one of the life’s most amazing pleasures. All I’ve ever wanted to do is write them.
I’m a former journalist, current content writer and aspiring novelist.
I’m a fourth year BFA in Writing student at Goddard College.
Here are links to my published fiction. Be aware that both are erotic novellas and quite spicy.
When Jude Felini, a cat-shifter, learns that the woman he’s loved all his life, a bird-shifter named Avery Dove, carries a hormone that has addicted a non-shifter to her, he has only one chance to save her from being quarantined in an isolated sanitarium. He must resurrect a long-dead shifter ritual, the Triad Sacrament, in order to bind Avery’s pheromones to his and convince the Coalition of Shape Shifters that she can’t addict anyone else. The Triad Sacrament is powerful sexual magic, but while Jude and Avery are both willing to invoke it in order to stay together, they need to convince the Council that it will work. Otherwise, Avery will be imprisoned forever, and Jude will lose the only woman he’s ever loved.
Ena Shannon has a secret she can’t let any of her fellow firefighters in on. She’s one of four witch sisters, each having command of one of four elements. Ena lives with fire inside her, which makes her the most effective firefighter at Ember, Inc. during wildfire season despite her diminutive size.
The sexual tension between Ena and her captain, Charlie Reese, is high, and as much as Ena would like to walk away from it, it’s too powerful to deny. After their boss benches Ena with some ridiculous story about her safety, consummating her relationship with Charlie seems the only way to cool the fire burning in her.
As they make love, it becomes startlingly clear that the intensity of their attraction is not merely pheromones. Ena’s magic has recognized its mate in Charlie, and has begun to weave a web between them. With no other choice but to tell the truth, following a battle with yet another arson-started wildfire, she tells Charlie that she is a witch and he is her mate.
Before he has the chance to process this unbelievable information, all hell breaks loose.


I just love reading your writing! It’s a treat seeing you pop up on my home page and starting my day off with a glimpse of you and your thoughts and observations. Thank you.
