Forget what you’ve been told about fairytales. The only truth to them are the monsters. When I was sixteen years old, a monster took my best friend. I told everyone. No one believed me. Fifteen years later, the boy I thought I would never see again is here. In the flesh. And he is no longer the boy I once loved. He is a monster. His eyes shimmer in the moonlight. His fingernails scrape over my skin. His fangs pierce my flesh. And I do not fear him. The vampires abide by a specific decree, created long before my existence. Vampires and humans cannot mate. It dilutes the pure bloodlines. All half breeds are destroyed. But there is one exception to that decree. One way for us to be together. The Death Trials. **This is a Paranormal Romance story. It is a standalone with HEA. It contains adult content, adult language, violence, gore, and sexual situations. It is intended for mature readers only.**

I am a happily married mother of three (two boys and one girl). I live in a very small town in Alabama. Never lived anywhere else. I’ve been writing since my early twenties, but I couldn’t seem to finish a book. I’ve started self-publishing with the encouragement from my mom. Without her encouragement, I don’t think I would’ve done it. She always supported me and writing is something I’ve always enjoyed doing. As long as I enjoy it, I’ll continue to do it. I’ve learned already that I can’t please everyone. Not all reviews will be good, not all reviews will be bad. I’m the one that has to be happy with my work. I get my inspiration from life experiences, movies, television, other authors, and music. Music is definitely a big influence on my writing. I can hear a song and it can inspire an entire book for me. I listen to it while I’m driving or before I start writing and it keeps me inspired. I like to put music in my books, even if it’s just one song the characters listen to or hear at some point. Sometimes music has gotten me through the really tough times in my life and that’s why it inspires me. I like to write fast-paced, steamy romance reads. I like for my males to be alpha-males and my heroines to be strong, but both need to have one weakness- each other. I am an avid reader. I absolutely love romance books!
