About
A survivor of sexual abuse, I have recently written the true account of my childhood, titled: Life After Hell: Surviving Sexual Abuse. I have tried to convey what happened to me as well as my journey to finally getting justice.A lot of my own experiences have gone into my fictional works, especially my first book The Man of My Dreams. I created a vigilante vampire that rescues women and children from rapists and child molesters......I've loved Vampires and the paranormal ever since I can remember and always envisaged myself writing a book or two on the subject! I have written 3 books in The Dream Series so far: The Man of my Dreams, Be Careful What You Wish For and The Chosen One. I am currently writing the 4th book in the series: Succubus: An Erotic Companion. All Paranormal Romance novels with Vampires(of course) as well as a bit of blood and gore thrown in and the 4th one is slightly on the erotic side! These characters are very close to my heart and I hope you will come to love them as much as I have.I also recently published a short story (Why Won't Someone Help Me?) about my health issues and the trouble with getting diagnosed or treated for invisible illnesses.To read part of the story behind my books check out the interview pic under my profile photo.Find me on Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads.

Story Behind The Book
I had a very traumatic childhood and invented the vigilante vampire as a hero to save me. I also love the TV shows Moonlight and Dexter and they also helped to inspire me to write this novel.
For years I dreamt of a dark haired man and 12 years ago I found him - so this story is very close to my heart.
