Cat's Curse, a historical romance with paranormal elements set in early medieval Scotland is
available at Awe-Struck. This is Book One of my Dark Goddess trilogy. The working titles for books
two and three are Beltaine's Song and Winter's Requiem. The series revolves around the
Cailleach/Cat Anna, a Fae/goddess of Ireland and Scotland whose destiny is intertwined with the
destiny of an Irish clan.

Upcoming releases:
Night's Daughter is the prequel to Of Water and Dragons and Ravenwolf. I am very excited about
how it turned out. The title is another name for the Erinyes & Furies of Greek and Roman myth.
This is a new twist on the conflict between the Titans and Olympic gods, centering around Becuille
(Nemu's past life incarnation) who is a vengeance goddess for the Great Goddess. It is also a new
twist on the origins of some of the mysterious Tuatha de Danaan of Ireland. Night's Daughter is
due for release by Awe-Struck in 2010.
Beltaine's Song is Book Two of my Dark Goddess trilogy and has been accepted by Awe-Struck
for release in early 2010. Beltaine's Song is the second book and covers the time when Aedan is
finally king of Dal Riata. Of course, being a king isn't an easy task especially with a Dark Goddess
trying to destroy you, and having to contend with earthly foes as well. I also introduce another
being who is somehow associated with Cat Anna (Cailleach). Their son, Gartnait, is one of the few
people who can see her, but she may or may not be a threat. I had a theme going on through this
second book that although spring brings about new life, it is also the time when clans battled one
another so spring also brings about the harsh sound of the battle horn, and danger.
Winter's Requiem has just been contracted by Awe-Struck. Winter's Requiem is the final book in
my Dark Goddess trilogy and brings foes together to try to break the ancient curse that has
plagued Aedan's clan and the three women--Cailleach, Brigit and Domelch (who used to be
Cardea). The title of this third book has to do with Cailleach because she sleeps in spring and
awakens in winter. This final book is where I reveal who she really is and how she came to be
imprisoned by the seasons. There is a lot of heartache and self-discovery in this book, but of
course there will be a HEA or at least a HFN. I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone.
A Winter Solstice Kiss is a short, sweet contemporary/paranormal romance that will appear in a
Christmas/holiday anthology from Noble Romance Publishing--release date: 12/21/09

Writing update:
Right now I am researching pre-Arthurian Britain and Scotland for my next book, which will have a
Saxon heroine and Pict hero. Of course, there will be paranormal elements, perhaps a werewolf or
two. I also have another story that was originally a short story that I want to turn into a novel. This
story features a heroine that is an Amazon warrior.
