About
Someone once told me to be 'Profound' in life. At the time I thought that meant being famous, or doing something noble or commendable. As an adult I realize now what that person meant. She meant it in a way that do something with your life that moves you above all else. The first step of me finding what my definition of profound was to become a mother. Two beautiful little girls later, it was time to tackle the next step and that was to become a writer.
I had always written poetry and short little dialogues to remember certain vivid dreams I'd had, but I never put any more faith into it. Until 2003 when I started working on a pipedream of a first novel. I got halfway done and had terrible writer's block that I never did recover from with that story.
It wasn't until 2005 that I found out why I'd never been able to finish that story. I couldn't relate to on any level because it didn't speak to me. And I found my true love when it came to writing. Not real life, not believable stories of what ifs, but something darker and more imaginative. Vampires, Werewolves, Ghosts, Demons, and Devils. The darker side of the night time really appealed to me in a way I would have never thought possible.
Through 5 years now of short stories and ideas about some of the craziest characters my twisted mind can think up, here I am, getting closer every day to completing my first novel about the one character I never tire of writing about... Devrynne Kaine.

Story Behind The Book
In the middle of Las Vegas there is a woman that is the envy of all, sought out by any man who crosses her path, untouchable to those who crave her. Devrynne may look like an angel but what lies beneath her emerald eyes tells a story far different. A story of love, betrayal, heartbreak, death and vengeance. One so twisted that even Lucifer himself is about to wash his hands of her.
She is at the top of the world, wealthy and more powerful than most in her position but it’s because of years of playing Luc’s games, learning how to work the system that has led her to be this way. Nothing can stop her now, when she is so close to being truly happy. That was until Mr. Casella showed up from an organization called the Guardsmen, holding all the keys to unraveling the web of lies she lived on.
Now it a race against time as Devrynne relives the horrible past, the lessons she learned in blood, trying to find a way to get out of being brought to justice for the death of her sire. Will she find a way out of the trouble she’s gotten into without the help of Luc or will she have to make another deal like so many that has led her to be The Devil’s Angel?
