Reading, writing, playing my bass guitar, listening to music, hiking and boating. I love horseback riding, but I can never get anyone to go with me. I spend most of my time writing books. I love creating characters like faeries, vampires, gods and goddesses, shapeshifters and warriors. My warrior heroes/heroines are usually based on the Irish Fianna who were fierce warriors ,but also skilled poets.
Music
My favorite bands are Evanescence, Nightwish, Flyleaf, Seether, Apocalyptica, Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, but I like all kinds of hard rock, metal and I have a softer side as well. I like Loreena McKennitt and Blackmore's Night. Lately, I have been really getting into Icelandic metal. It's great for writing stories set in the Dark Ages.
Movies
My favorite movies are Excalibur, Bram Stoker's Dracula, 12 Monkeys, Braveheart, Terminator, Dazed & Confused, Hocus Pocus, Galaxy Quest, Gladiator, City of Angels, Stargate, Bandits, Highlander, 300, King Arthur, Hell Boy, Somewhere in Time, Underworld, Phantom of the Opera. There are others that I can't think of right now.
Television
I like watching television way too much. My all time favorite t.v. shows were Highlander The Series and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I also like Charmed, Lost, The Closer, Saving Grace, Medium, Smallville, Rock of Love on VH1, Rome, Blood Ties, Men in Trees, Ghost Whisperer, Monk, Bones, Dexter, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Moonlight and Supernatural.
I read everything from romance, erotica, fantasy, horror, sci-fi and historical fiction. Some of my favorite authors are Ann Rice, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Morgan Llewelyn, Stephen King, Karen Marie Moning, Lynn Kurland and Juliet Marillier. I enjoy Y.B Yeats and his writings on faery folklore. My most recent favorite books are The Light Bearer, Confessions of a Pagan Nun, The King Must Die and The Dark Mirror. Right now I am re-reading the Mabinogion.

The sequel to my bestselling paranormal erotic romance and 2009 EPPIE Finalist ANIMAL ATTRACTION!
Coming June 1st from Whiskey Creek Press Torrid!
Every Girl Wants a Guy Who's an Animal in Bed!
Artist Heidi Gibson is spending the summer up in Anchorage doing some painting when she gets attacked by a crazed wolf. She is rescued by golden- eyed wildlife biologist Luke McCall, who calmly informs she has been bitten by a werewolf and will turn into one during the next full moon. Thinking he’s obviously out of his mind, she can’t get away from him fast enough.
When strange things start happening to her, however, she begins to think the ruggedly handsome biologist could be right. Not knowing what else to do, she goes to Luke and is stunned to discover that he knows so much about werewolves because he’s one himself.
As Luke teaches her what she needs to know about being a werewolf, Heidi finds herself falling hard for the Alaskan hunk. But while they’re intent on each other, the werewolf that attacked her comes back into the picture, and he’s not exactly happy that another of his kind is trying to take the woman he believes is his rightful mate. Can Luke and Heidi's attraction overpower the jealousy of the rogue werewolf?

Do you like your vampires tall, dark, and handsome with a side order of brooding? Then you'e going to love my smokin' hot, new paranormal erotic romance Vampire 101, the first book in my Modern Day Vampires Series, available from Whiskey Creek Press Torrid!
Being a Vampire Isn't What It Used to Be!
Savanna Royce is a weekend Goth-girl who has always been fascinated with vampires. She doesn’t really believe in them, of course, but that changes when she is bitten by a rogue vamp and left for dead. Fortunately, two-hundred-and-seventy-eight-year-old vampire Kaige Travers is there to rescue her. Unwilling to let her die, he turns Savanna into a vampire to save her life, not knowing if she’ll thank him or hate him for it.
While Kaige is teaching Savanna what she needs to know about being a vampire, neither of them can deny the chemistry that’s there. Somewhere between getting her registered at the local vampire admin office and teaching her how to order blood on the internet, they fall for each other, fast and hard. Just as things are heating up between the sheets – and everywhere else – they encounter one minor problem. The rogue vampire who attacked her is back and this time, he wants to finish the job he started.
"VAMPIRE 101 is absolutely delightful and wickedly tempting! Guaranteed to tease the
senses, push you to the brink and leave you squirming in your seat!" - Whipped Cream
