A Kiss So Deadly
“A Kiss So Deadly” is not only my first true paranormal romance but it is a book that holds a special place in my heart.
My parents and I worked on this book to make sure the little details were correct. My dad’s family did have a plantation home for many generations. I actually have a dresser that was built from some of the wood in that plantation home. This particular dresser was handmade as a wedding gift from my dad.
During the late 1800’s a murder did occur on the plantation grounds.
The haunted plantation I write about in the book existed as well. It was a family home for an aunt’s husband. Several times when we would visit my aunt you could find the piano mysteriously playing.
A presence could be felt in the house but it was never one that caused you to fear it.
My in laws worked with me on the historical facts. My husband’s family made their way to Louisiana by Nova Scotia. I had wanted to include the plight that the Cajuns went through to get here. It was my no means a pleasant experience. Some were torn from their loved ones while in Nova Scotia and forced to leave their homes that they had worked hard to build.
“A Kiss So Deadly” can be found at amazon.com and smashwords.com. Soon on Nook and iBook.
Bridgette Marquette finds herself torn between 2 men but could one of them have sinister motives? A Kiss So Deadly

Vampires
I let my daughter talk me into writing a book about vampires for young adults. I must admit that I actually enjoyed writing it and listening to all of her ideas.
Now that we are finishing up the second book I am finding that vampire related movies and books are quite popular right now. The SciFi channel has a new show beginning soon “Being Human” and then there is “True Blood” as well as the “Twilight” saga.
Of course now that the current book is almost done she hands me another outline. This one is not about vampires though. I think Mat and I have a future writer on our hands for sure. She loves coming up with ideas for books as well as naming characters and describing what they should look like.
