Lead Characters of Beneath the Shadows of Evil

To make a new fan page called Lucian’s Lair more exciting, I found photos which portray how the lead character in my Beneath the Shadows of Evil look like in my head. As you can see, a very vital character is missing. Mikhal Arcos, lead evil vampire himself cannot be found. We are going to run a contest between now and January 12th. Post pictures of who you feel makes a sexy and brooding Mikhal Arcos. Remember, no sunlight. So post those pictures here on the new Lucian’s Lair fan page on Facebook and I will choose who I think best represents my character Mikhal. The winner will receive an authorgraphed ebook set of the Beneath the Shadows of Evil Trilogy, Take, Torn, and Treasured


Double the Thrills

All this talk of delicious spanking the last few days has pushed the paranormal thrillers to the side. Now it’s time to remind everyone that I actually write books that aren’t kinky too!  I’ve designed a new cover for the double Connelly Witch Series with the help of dandellion Kimban, who is the illustrator. Same great read of two books in one, with, a whole new design to catch the eye. So if you enjoy vampires, witches, demons, and magic, step into my mystical world.       The Connelly Witch Series Five centuries ago, Master Vampire Mikhal Arcos kidnapped a mystical Gypsy girl named Alliana in Beneath the Shadows of Evil. Their legacy now  lives on with the Connelly witches. They are a family whose ancestors were given a great gift of magic, but it came with one condition. They were entrusted to protect mankind from the demons who walk among them. […]

The Arcos/Connelly Family Tree

Two of my paranormal romance book series are connected through family bloodlines. While the Beneath the Shadows of Evil Series has one book built upon another, the Connelly Witch Series doesn’t require the reader to read one book before the next. Neither series is dependent upon the other either, but for those who have not read Beneath the Shadows of Evil and haven’t met the character who lived long ago, I have detailed the family’s lineage. The magic that began with a wild Gypsy and her husband’s demented sister still flows through the veins of those who have come after them. The blood ties are strong, and the new family’s oath to protect mankind is even stronger. If your interest is piqued and you decide to look into the Beneath the Shadows of Evil Series, then I would advise avoiding the family tree because it contains spoilers.   Connelly and Arcos […]
