I got some exciting interest in Moonlight, so that was encouraging, but what’s really been keeping me busy is my new book, Blood Moon! J Starting work on a new book is always a thrill for me. I love getting to know my new main characters and being surprised by the twists and turns the book takes that I never saw coming…. Read More
