Many years ago I wrote a little short story about witches and spellcraft entitled I Put A Spell On You. I wrote it to fit a Pax anthology for my (now defunct) publisher Amber Quill Press.
I loved the idea of second chances, the boy or girl next door romantic trope, and of the natural magic in everyday life—instead of the fictional fantasy take on witchcraft.
No one is magically tossed across a room, or has super power abilities. Nope. This little story was down to earth, closer to Mother Nature, and true magic. Using herbs, candles, and the art of spellcraft to manifest your desires. To call upon and harness the inherent energy of the universe, of the seen and unseen, to aid you in making transformative changes, both big and small.
From besoms (brooms) to mugwort, from magically enhanced cupcakes to candle magic, and of course spellcraft, the story and the others with it in the Pax finaled in a major epublisher convention's award that year.
To say the story is close to my heart is putting it lightly. So I am happy to announce the story, retitled Sebastian's Spell, will be out this July!
It'll be my first release of any kind since Bear's stroke. Readers of I Put A Spell On You may note a few changes I made to this latest version, but for the most part, I wanted to keep that same vibe the original had.
Also no change to one of readers' favorite secondary characters, Pendragon. After all, what is a witch without her cat? :wink:
I hope readers both new and old will enjoy my witchy tale of love.

PNR: Sexy Werewolves for Pre-Order: The Wolf Who Came In From The Cold and more...
Good friend and fellow author Sela Carsen has a boxed set of wolfies, also book four in her series (Wolves of Fenrir) The Wolf Who Came In From The Cold, available separately for pre-order!
Rig sidUlfr wants peace on Earth.
Literally.
As the general in command of the Fenrir troops on Earth, his mission is to maintain the security of the planet in the aftermath of an intergalactic war. And if alien Axis terrorists would quit putting his new, distractingly attractive interpreter in the line of fire, that would be great.
Mirea Randolph may speak half a dozen languages, but words won't be enough to keep her and Rig safe. It seems like every time she gets her red lipstick on him, another attack occurs. With constant attempts to derail the fragile peace process, she ends up involved in layers of deception she won't be able to talk her way out of in any language.
This story was previously published in the "Vikings Wild" anthology.

https://www.amazon.com/Wolf-Came-Cold-Wolves-Fenrir-ebook/dp/B06XJT19XQ/
By the year 2225, humans have come a long way. Broadening Earth’s frontiers into the galaxy means taking a crash course in inter-alien relations, and humans are – mostly – embracing their new allies.
The Fenrir are Viking descendants of the Great Wolf of Norse myth – heroes and heroines from across the galaxy who have returned to Earth to help keep our planet safe.
A physicist and an assassin, a spy and a mechanic, an old soldier and a weaver, a general and an interpreter – fall in love and run into danger with all of them as they face down an enemy threat that could plunge the Earth back into a war to end everything.
A Wolf to Watch Over Me
Lauren Ivers should be home, reading and eating take-out. Or in her lab, working on new ideas in post-quantum theory. Instead, she’s on the run with the bodyguard she didn’t know she had in a desperate bid to get off-planet before she becomes a casualty in an intergalactic war. She’s sure it’s just the adrenaline that has her reacting to her oversized protector with smart-mouthed replies and a full-bodied zing she wills herself to ignore.
Hakon sidUlfr, a wolf-shifter from another world, and Lauren’s covert bodyguard, is determined to keep her safe from the Axis aliens hunting her. Not because she’s a duty, but because there’s something about her that calls to all his primitive and protective instincts. It’s a distraction he can’t afford as he works to sneak a single, small human across unfamiliar terrain.
When Hakon is injured, Lauren realizes that while he was protecting her body, she should have been protecting her heart.
A Most Wanted Wolf
You can’t trust a spy. That’s the nature of their job. As a warrior, Ule tärEinar prefers direct action to sneaking around. Yet when she meets Andrew Wyatt, she can’t deny that sparks fly.
Andrew’s assignment is to steal back the human scientist who was about to become a Fenrir mate. He doesn’t count on the woman who meets him eye to eye, challenging everything he ever knew about alien relations.
As the cold war between their two cultures heats up, Ule is going to have to learn how to trust the man who could destroy her world with just one lie.
Silver Wolf Rising
Dagny tärEinar is on her way to Earth to start her new life. Not that she knows what that’ll be like – a long-time widow with grown children, she hardly knows who she is anymore.
Being forced into retirement is turning him bitter. Niall sidKalvr knows it, but he can’t help it, either. He’s ending his long career in the Fenrir Army to become a farmer, of all things.
Neither of them expect to be saviors, the leaders of a small rebellion. But when enemy soldiers invade their pack ship, Niall and Dagny are forced to work together to protect and care for their shipmates and themselves, despite the distracting life-scent trying to draw them together. A scent that indicates they’re meant to be together for the rest of their lives.
However long – or short – that may be.

Their attraction burns laser hot as they work to keep Earth safe from a new wave of enemy invasions. But once the job is done, will Rig have to go back into the cold alone, or will Mirea keep him warm?
All of these stories have been previously published and are also available as single titles.

Thanksgiving and Best Friends: Happy Birthday Wishes to a much loved friend
Well, here we are, November is almost through and soon it'll be December. This has been a rough year for my little family and to be honest, I'll be glad to see it go bye bye. But before I rush into New Year celebrations, I wanna talk turkey. Thanksgiving turkey that is, and say how grateful I am to everyone who has helped me get through this tumultuous year. All ya'll are added to my Thanksgiving prayers. I seriously love each and every one of you and you know who you are. Blessings. Wishing all my friends and readers a very happy Thanksgiving Day with your loved ones. ((hugs))
(Scroll down for turkey leftover recipes you'll enjoy).
I want to give a shout out to one of my long time best friends N.J. Walters.
Today is N.J.'s birthday and try as I might, I couldn't get this pic to upload onto Facebook. So here it is, girl—Happy Birthday, N.J. You are an incredibly sweet, wonderful person and a damn awesome writer! Wishing you the very best and all the rest of good things life has to offer.
Dear readers, if you love romance on the paranormal side, you need to check out N.J.'s upcoming book. It releases December 5th! (I seriously cannot wait. Weee! Dragon hawtness, ya'll!)
Darius Varkas is a drakon. He's neither human nor dragon.
He's both. He's also the target of an ancient order who want to capture all drakons for their blood. When fresh, a drakon's blood can cure any illness and prolong a human's life, and the Knights will stop at nothing to get it.
When librarian Sarah Anderson stumbles across a rare book belonging to the Knights of the Dragon, she's quickly thrust into a dangerous world of secrets and shifters and things she never would have believed possible. When the Knights realize Sarah has a secret of her own, she becomes just as much a target as Darius. Her scary dragon shifter just might be her best chance at survival.
Catch it December 5th from Entangled Publishing, and on Amazon and All Romance eBooks.
Ever wonder what to do with all your leftover turkey? Well, I got ya covered. Try out some of these yummy dishes that are sure to please!

Friday Finds: PNR Dragons
There's just something about dragons and dragon shapeshifters. Maybe it's the primitive reptilian part of our brain being activated, or the idea of being an virgin offering (yeah right, go on and laugh) to a lusty dragon shifter, but there is an almost magical connection to these mythical beasts that cannot be denied.
My own dragon tale, Open Season, is less fantasy and more science fiction based, but it's definitely romance.
As a reader, I cannot get enough sexy dragons and am so glad I discovered a neat deal on the book below. Check it out and pick it up before they raise the price, because right now it's only .99¢!
Serpent's Kiss
Deborah Cooke
Genre: Paranormal Romance
.99¢ sale price ends May 12, 2015
One spark can banish every shadow in his heart.
The dragon shape shifter Thorolf is known for an impressive lineage, raw power in battle, and the impulsive indulgence of his appetites. The last has made him an outcast from his fellow Pyr, and even his hunt for their dangerous opponent, the Slayer Chen, hasn’t helped. Seduced by Chen’s ally Viv Jason, Thorolf finds himself drawn into a trap, as bait to lure his fellow Pyr to extinction.
The only one to come to his aid is a woman he already knows to be a thief—does he dare to trust her with not just his own life but the survival of his kind?
Chandra has planned for centuries for a battle against evil that she knows will determine the world’s future. She’s never wasted time on the pleasures of the physical realm, much less experienced passion—until the firestorm sparks between herself and Thorolf, demanding more from her than she ever expected to give. Will the firestorm provide new power, or be a dangerous distraction that gives Chen the chance to triumph over the Pyr forever?
This edition includes a list of The Next Generation, as well as excerpts from Firestorm Forever and Fallen.
