Paranormal Romance is Hot

As a kid, I enjoyed watching movies with vampires or werewolves. At 16, I picked up a book from Anne Rice and was hooked on books with paranormal elements. In my thirties, I fell in love with paranormal romance and urban fantasy. After reading and seeing enough, I decided to challenge myself. I’d always enjoyed writing. Why not give it a try.

The Soul Catcher series was the first set of books I had published back in 2010. The publishing world was going through a lot of changes. Ebooks were becoming the trend. I was so excited to have my first book published. A few years later, the publisher shut down. My characters went into hiding, but I never forgot about them.

An idea came to me recently to continue the series. In less than six weeks, I’d written two more novels for the series. There is a total of six now. The main premise is Jessie, my protagonist, sends evil souls to Hell. Of course, there’s more to it than that. Her job isn’t easy. She doesn’t trust supernatural creatures, yet she has a noble vampire fighting for her love, a demon battling to win her heart, and vampires hunting her down. She just wants to live a normal life, but that’s not going to happen.

 

If you enjoy PNR or urban fantasy, I hope you give my books a read. I think you’ll like them.

Claiming the Evil Dead is the first book in the series. It is currently available.

Book Blurb:

An evil vampire preying upon children is on the loose in Chicago. Destroying him isn’t enough. Half-demon Jessie Garrett wants to send his soul where it belongs…in Hell.

Jessie lives a normal life—office worker by day and paranormal investigator on the side. She keeps her true nature and unique gift hidden. When a vampire approaches her with knowledge of her ability, her world starts to change. Drake, a member of Vampires for the Ethical Treatment of Other Vampires, propositions her for a job. Although Jessie doesn’t trust him, she can’t turn down the opportunity to serve the ultimate justice to an evil vampire. Trying to capture the devout killer comes with a few complications. But as she partners with Drake she learns not all bloodsuckers are bad and discovers the cold-blooded vamp is a temptation too difficult to resist.

EXCERPT:

Darkness engulfed us the farther away we were from the city. Lights from subdivisions faded, and only a few trucks were visible on the road. The high speed we were traveling and the silence made my eyelids feel heavy.

“Jessie Garrett,” he said, capturing my attention. “Twenty-four, single, computer technician, paranormal investigator…” He paused and directed his attention from the road to me.

I stared back at him and waited for him to say the word.

“Demon,” he finished.

“That’s not on my birth certificate.”

His lips twitched. “You’re a mystery to me.”

“Let’s keep it that way.”

I shifted one leg over the other. From my peripheral vision, I saw him watching me. I wore a knee-length black skirt with small, blue floral designs and three-inch black sandals. I’d selected the skirt thinking I would stay cooler. Now that I realized I had exposed my bare legs to his eyes, I wished I’d worn jeans.

“I have met a few demons in my existence, and I have to admit that none compare to you.”

I silently chuckled. What a sweet compliment. Maybe he had a warm personality hidden within that cold body of his. Maybe.

“Tell me, Jessie Garrett, where have you been hiding all these years?”

“You followed me and seem to know a lot about me. Why don’t you tell me?” I crossed my arms.

“How about a deal?”

“Another one?”

“Consider it an exchange. You tell me about yourself, and I’ll tell you whatever you want to know about me.”

His proposal appealed to me. Since I was stuck in a car with him for the next three hours, and I had limited knowledge of vampires, why not cash in on a golden opportunity to learn more about him?

“Okay,” I said with a shrug. “But I get to ask the first question.”

He grinned. “Always a concession with you.”

I flashed a smile at him. He should have known that bargaining with a demon was never easy.
