Books by Michelle Rowen:

BITTEN & SMITTEN
Immortality Bites - Book 1

Chased all over the city by vampire hunters, Sarah Dearly thankfully bumps into tall, dark and handsome Thierry. Can Sarah convince the tormented vamp that his life is worth living—as long as she’s in it?

FANGED & FABULOUS
Immortality Bites - Book 2

There are perks to being a vampire, namely the ability to stay thin forever and her 600+ year old vampire boyfriend Thierry. But Sarah Dearly is also now enemy #1 of the vampire hunters. Enter Quinn, who hunts vampire hunters if you will, and still has his eye on Sarah. Sarah has an exciting love triangle on her hands—if she can stay alive long enough to choose.

LADY AND THE VAMP
Immortality Bites - Book 3

Reluctant supernatural assassin Janie Parker is sent by her hellish boss to destroy brooding vampire Michael Quinn, a onetime vampire hunter, and to retrieve a mysterious magical artifact known as The Eye, but her quest is complicated by her growing attraction to her prey.

STAKES & STILETTOS
Immortality Bites - Book 4

In the fourth installment of Rowen's Immortality Bites series, newly vamped Sarah Dearly wants her normal life back, but fate is fighting against her. She tries to get a regular job and gets staked in the interview, only to be rescued by a masked vampire who calls himself the Red Devil.

TALL, DARK & FANGSOME
Immortality Bites - Book 5 (Sept. '09)

A dangerous hunter blackmails Sarah into siring him by threatening to kill her friends — will she be able to stop him, find a cure for her nightwalker curse, and finally find happiness with the master vamp of her dreams? When you’re immortal, can you still hope for a happily ever after?

ANGEL WITH ATTITUDE

Former angel Valerie knows a Tempter Demon is off limits. But Nathaniel’s embrace promises more than just passion…and soon she thinks having the hots for a demon might not be so bad.

COUNTDOWN
(writing as Michelle Maddox)

A petty thief and a convicted murderer find themselves entangled in a deadly reality TV game and a heart-pounding attraction for each other.

DEMON PRINCESS: REIGN OR SHINE
Walker Books for Young Readers - October 2009

My first young adult fantasy novel in a new series in which a girl discovers on her 16th birthday that the father she’s never met before is actually a king…in the Underworld.

HOT SPELL
Harlequin Blaze - November 2009

A tale about two paranormal investigators forced to work together to solve a mystery about an enchanted clock that makes very sexy things happen at the stroke of midnight.

Who I'd like to meet:

You're Totally Sarcastic
You sarcastic? Never! You're as sweet as a baby bunny. Seriously, though, you have a sharp tongue - and you aren't afraid to use it. And if people are too wimpy to deal with your attitutde, then too bad. So sad.

    Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!

    There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.

    Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."

    And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."

    Hi Michelle,

    Thought I'd share by blurb from my lastest release with you.

    Banished Hero

    With no memory of her past, Faye Lynn Berton clings to a father who curses her ability to shape-shift, then uses her special skill to scam local villagers. The only freedom she knows comes as she soars through the sky in falcon form. A chance meeting with another changling turns her world upside down. Beyond satisfying the powerful sexual cravings that follow transformation, he reveals a surprising dimension of sex between their kind…one to unlock the secrets of her soul.

    Havyn Westmore has questions…Faye Lynn holds the answers. Determined to unravel her secrets, he strives to gain her freedom and trust. Teaching her the finer techniques of transformation keeps her close while sex strengthens their bond. But on the trail of discovery, Havyn must confront his own past. Accused of a heinous crime, he was banned from his homeland. Now, he must choose between returning to face certain execution—or robbing Faye Lynn of her birthright and a life in Paradise.

    Enjoy,
