In realms where shadows whisper and the stars weave tales of their own, we invite you into a world where love is both a fleeting ember and an eternal flame. An anthology to support the vital work of Ste-Justine’s Children's Hospital. From the misty shores of Loch Ness to the eerie depths where mermaids sing their mournful songs, from the vast plains steeped in Native American myths to crumbling cities in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, these stories bring romance that lingers long after love is lost—or found again. Encounter vampires whose love burns eternal yet unattainable, werewolves torn between loyalty and desire, and lovers bound by ancient curses. Twelve voices. Twelve worlds. Twelve tales to remind us that love—no matter how lost—always leaves its mark.

I absolutely LOVE to read! One of my favorite things to do is curl up with a good book or create my own. My kids love to join me in creating their own stories too and those are always ones that make me laugh! I enjoy reading all kinds of books, but romance books that have a good story to it are my favorite to both read and write. Also, sharing the books I love with friends over coffee or a book turned movie is something I enjoy when I'm not running from my son's soccer game or to my daughter's dance class. Along with my friends and family, I have fun spending time outdoors, one of the reasons Maine is the setting in my first book, "The Unforgettable Summer". Although I grew up in Wisconsin and currently live with my family in New York, we spend time every year in Maine.

Animal lover, part-time research scientist, owner of a far-too-vivid imagination and consequently a spinner of fictitious events. I love to dream up stories, write them down, and see them come to life in somebody else's mind. I am an avid and eclectic reader, but my favourite genres are science fiction and fantasy - preferably spiced with a generous dose of romance! I spend way more time reading books than in front of the television, and when I am not working, writing, or reading, I love to take long walks along the coast, go horse riding, or swim in the sea. Spending time outdoors clears my mind and sparks my imagination. Nature is a source of endless inspiration, and I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful parts of this world. Born in Austria - Lives in the UK. Travelled a lot in between.
