With five urban fantasy novels and
several short stories in the Shadows of Justice series, and
the fast-paced adventures of the Unknown Identities crew,
readers often ask me why I wandered into the lighthearted side of the
paranormal romance realm with the Matchmaker series.
My first response is my muse demanded a
change-up, and prodded me to explore a world a little brighter and
fluffier. I wanted the Matchmaker series to be novels readers could
escape with for a few hours, full of characters and romance that
would leave them with a smile.
There are definitely elements of my
storytelling that cross over no matter the genre. The
happy-ever-after of course, but it was exciting to discover whether
the story walks on the dark or on the lighter side, my leading ladies
are strong women who want to triumph over circumstances, not just get
through them.
Alpha heroines are just second nature
for me, my muse, and the heroes who fall in love with them. I enjoy
writing kick-butt women who can do all the things I can only dream of
physically and know what they want most from life. Women who, as
Julia Quinn said, ‘I'd happily count among my best friends’.
