At the moment, I have one story that I'm actively writing on, and three other stories that I'm planning out for when I finish my current WIP.

My current novel is tentatively titled Five Moons Rising. It is a lesbian paranormal romance, but it's not filled with cuddly werewolves and vampires. The paranormal creatures are badass and dark. They aren't living companionably side-by-side with humans; they are the creatures of their nightmares.

Mary Alice "Malice" Nolan has been genetically altered and trained by the US government to take out rogue beasts. She's very good at her job, and she takes care to never bring it home with her to protect her mother and sister. However, she isn't around to protect her sister from the local werewolf pack when they seek vengeance for Malice's actions.

Krissy Helgeson is the beta of one of the local werewolf packs. She is the loyal second to her alpha and will stop at nothing to keep him safe. She and the alpha are betrayed and she is exiled from the pack when a lone wolf takes out her alpha. Injured and alone, she does what she can to survive.

Their paths cross when Malice kidnaps Krissy in a desperate attempt to save her sister's life.

Aside from that, I'm also working on a retelling of Snow White, wherein the Huntsman is the Huntress and is in love with the princess. I've also started on a story featuring a half-demon archivist and an insane woman who isn't so crazy after all.

Also in the hopper is a prequel to the On Deception's Edge trilogy, and I intend to write another series in that same universe.(less)

Winter’s Moons: the Characters

One of the things I loved about writing Winter’s Moons was the chance to get to know the main characters who are very different, but in such complementary ways. Cassidy Nolan (the young werewolf Alpha sister of a genetically-engineered supersoldier) has plenty of leadership qualities, but no experience. She’s also got a hefty case of impostor syndrome, one that keep her from bonding completely

“She noticed a large grease stain on the front of her coveralls as she stood up. A few half-hearted wipes told her it was a lost cause. That’s what she got for wearing her good coveralls for a teardown. What had possessed her to even do so? Brionie hadn’t noticed. It would take more than that to get her attention”
Lise MacTague, Demon in the Machine

“What the hell was she supposed to do now? She didn’t want to kill the woman. She’d never killed a woman before.”
