edit data

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky (now living in Greencastle, IN) and have been writing since I was 13 years old. I wrote my first novel Heartsong back in 2004 but have just now gotten it published. I love to read romance, horror, fantasy, suspense and novels about the paranormal as well as listening to music and watching movies. I'm always up for questions on anything so don't be shy even though I kind of am until I get to know people better. I'm continuing to write when I have time but being a mother of a one year old is not easy so I have not posted videos or blog entries for a while. I hope to have new novels out soon. ...more

Waking Rose by Regina Doman

Waking Rose by Regina Doman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It really didn't take me that long to read this one but my sinuses wouldn't allow me the pleasure of diving into this one these past few days...

This is the last in the trilogy of the Brier sisters and the Denniston brothers and the longest book...and the most suspenseful one.

As the title would suggest, it is a Sleeping Beauty or Briar Rose rete Read more of this blog post »

The second entry into The Secret Circle series amps up the more terrifying aspects than the teen drama of the first one. Not that there isn't any drama in The Captive still going on but the stakes are higher. Slight spoilers for The Initiation if you ...more
