Positively delighted to bring you LION ON LOAN, the first of a new paranormal romance series set at a wildlife park in Ireland! :D This is a series inspired by Fota Wildlife Park in Cork, Ireland, a location I really love and strongly recommend anyone visiting Cork go out to see. I was chatting with friends and thought, wouldn’t it be fun if a wildlife park also doubled as a shifter vacation spot/refuge? Next thing I knew, I had a bunch of titles and a plan, so what was I…
My latest paranormal romance, KOALAFIED FOR LOVE, is available now! I just need you all to know my son is responsible for this particular title, and once I had it, I obviously had to write a story about a koalafied accountant who falls in love when he comes to my lil’ shifter town of Virtue. :D Koala shifter Oliver Campbell has spent most of his life working hard at embracing calm, because koalas are anything but: his koala would fight an armchair, given the chance…or a gorilla, for that matter.…

A couple days ago my writer friend Tim Pratt said he couldn’t do his year-end round-up of what he’d written yet because he might still get that last short story finished. I was working on a comic script and felt similarly. I managed to get the script done, in fact, just now. It’s for my artist nephew whose birthday is tomorrow, and I genuinely don’t know if he’ll draw it, but I promised him I’d write him something and now I have, so mission accomplished. I got a huge amount…
2016 in review is a work related round-up, because it’s been an absolutely awful year personally. The other day somebody sent around a “some good things must have happened at least on a personal level in 2016, please post them!” and I honestly couldn’t think of anything actively good enough to stand out. So, this year in publication review: startingly good, actually. I had 5 books come out, including the graphic novel of TAKE A CHANCE, which we’ve all been waiting for forever. :) To wit: MAGIC & MANNERS An…
