Blame It On Midnight

I saved my daughter. But how do I save myself?

I did what I had to. Try and kill my girl? I will end you faster than you can say have mercy. Sure I broke a cardinal pack rule, which will get me executed by my mate. If they find out. If they find me.

Saved from capture by Zane, the sexiest of sexy werewolves, my rescue comes with a price. Zane wants a favor, one that could cause an all-out pack war. The last thing I need is to make more enemies, but lives are at stake if I don’t make a stand.
Not only that, but I have a secret. An impossible secret that is going to turn the entire werewolf world upside down.

Nothing Good Happens After Midnight

They say a mother will do anything for her child . . . I’m living proof

This nightmare began when I got the call every parent dreads. My daughter, Jenna, was missing from her college campus. Of course, my mind went to the worst place. After all, my late husband was a powerful senator. Was this some political payback?

I call in a favor and soon I’m partnered with an FBI sex trafficking agent. He tells me local girls have been disappearing for some time now, and he finally has a lead. But what we find at that abandoned warehouse is something out of a horror movie.

Werewolves! Two rival packs, their alphas fighting, winner take all––the pack and the trafficked girls. The werewolves must replenish their breeders, recently decimated by a virus that killed only the females.

But Jenna’s been keeping a secret, which only makes two of us. Though I should be angry, I know the lies I’ve told play a huge role in why we’re here. I’ll do anything to make it right. No way is my girl going to become a sacrificial mate for the greater good––even if she is the ‘chosen one.’ So, I do what any mother would do, I take her place, offering myself to Gideon, the winning alpha, as his mate.

Gideon’s goal is to live in harmony with the human world, but there are others who exist for the power, for the violence, and they don’t plan to let peace prevail.

There’s a civil werewolf war brewing and I am right in the middle of it.

How did you come up with the title of the book?

My husband always told our sons when they asked to stay out later than curfew “Nothing Good Happens After Midnight.”  I kept that in my head as a great title and when I began writing Book #1 in the Midnight Madness trilogy, I knew that was the book the title was perfect for.

Who designed your book covers?

Kim Killion.  She does amazing work.  Take a look at my May 5^th women’s fiction release SUDDENLY THAT SUMMER as well.  It’s also stunning.

Did you learn anything during the writing of your recent book?

I learned that I still have books in my brain for the paranormal market. I wasn’t so sure.

If your book was made into a film, who would you like to play the lead?

Diane Kruger for Sarah. Scott Eastwood for Gideon.  Anson Mount for Ash (but all grubby and unshaven like in HELL ON WHEELS). I can’t really find a perfect actor for Zane.  Maybe someone will help me.  

Hey, maybe Clint Eastwood for Edward!!

Anything specific you want to tell your readers?

Thank you for hanging in with me for all these years.  I think if you like my voice and style in one genre, I’d hope you would give one or more of my books in other genres a try because I think you’d like them too.

Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?

My characters always hijack the story at some point. If they didn’t it wouldn’t be any fun.

Convince us why you feel your book is a must read.

My books are all fast paced, with realistic characters and a combination of angst and humor.

Have you written any other books that are not published?

I have been lucky to publish every full length novel I’ve written.

If your book had a candle, what scent would it be?

Hot cinnamon.
