Part of Series

Someone is hunting shadow demons. A magical amulet is trying to control Val. A sexy cowboy vamp is tired of waiting. When unknown demon hunters from a dark religious sect focus on killing Shade, Val’s ex-boyfriend and shadow demon, she has to bury her feelings of rejection and do her job as Paladin for the Demon Underground. But protecting Shade is more difficult than she ever imagined. Shade is fighting his own internal demons as long-suppressed memories begin to surface. Lola, Val’s inner succubus, can barely suck, which leaves Val dangerously weak. Austin, Lola’s vamp of choice over Val’s objections insists his job is to protect the Paladin regardless of Val’s opinion on the matter. Fang is distracted by the impending birth of his pups. Val is distracted by Austin and the tangle of feelings she has for two gorgeously irritating guys who couldn’t be more different. When she learns the demon hunters’ shocking identities, Val will need all her allies ready, willing and able to help her fight. Even with luck, the cost of saving the world may be more than Val can bear to pay.

Who is Parker Blue? Well, I live in Colorado Springs with my dog, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Val's part-hellhound mutt, Fang. I hate writing bios so that's all you're gonna get. Okay, okay. Instead of more boring bio stuff, how about some of my likes and dislikes? Stuff I love, in no particular order:

  • The color red—a bright, orange-red just makes me happy.
  • Shiny things. I must have been a magpie in a previous life.
  • Making shiny things. Love to bead!
  • Dogs—they love you unconditionally and are great at stress relief.
  • Numbers. So sue me—I love math. It always makes sense.
  • Chocolate. Come on, that's a no-brainer.
  • The mountains of Colorado. Their awe-tastic beauty is good for the soul.
  • Diet Coke. What can I say? I'm addicted.
  • Reading. Escaping into a cool new world someone created out of their imagination? It doesn't get much better than that.
  • Oh, yeah. And writing. Making up my own world out of random bits of my twisted psyche is the best! Things I'm not so crazy about, besides the obvious things everyone hates (war, pestilence, famine, you know the drill):
  • Blogs that dis other people. What's up with that?
  • Going to the dentist. Need I say more?
  • Politics. Big yawn.
  • Television shows that ask people do stupid things for money then make fun of them.
  • Seafood. Ick. Just...ick.
  • Yard work. I need lawn gnomes!
  • Writing bios. Enough already! As for the drawings...no, they don't really resemble me much, but this is what I figure Parker Blue ought to look like, kind of geek chic. Torie Fox drew them for me—isn't she fabulous?
