The sudden movement surprised him and for a moment, he didn’t respond. Izabel wasn’t deterred; she used her hold on him to wiggle closer as her tongue swept along the seam of his mouth. That small movement compelled him into motion. With a growl of pent-up desire, his arms wrapped around her, crushing her to him. He tilted his head, parted his lips, and took over the kiss. Izabel moaned into his mouth, the small sound of pleasure lighting a fire in his blood. A kiss in a crowded room wouldn’t be enough, no matter how hot and satisfying, but that knowledge didn’t stop him. He traced the curve of her hips, inched down to cup her sexy ass in his huge palms—Soft, so soft and right, just as I’d imagined—and lifted her off the floor. Izabel didn’t complain. Instead, she held on tighter, darted her tongue into his mouth, and challenged him for control. Oh, God, she’s gonna kill me, he thought, wanting nothing more than to take her home to his bed. Is she ready for that? He didn’t know, but he couldn’t stop. He kissed a line from her lips, across her jaw, and down her neck. With a contented sigh, she tilted her head back to give him more room. Her hands slid into his hair and she moaned when his lips found the sensitive skin beneath her ear. “Let’s get out of here,” she murmured between heavy breaths. “Take me home, Zack.” He froze. He’d heard those words so many times in the past, but this was different. This woman was different. Her obvious vulnerabilities made her different and brought out his protective nature, though that wasn’t so unusual in itself. No, it was the power of his need for her—to hold her and keep her safe—that unnerved him. It was the reflection of that same need in her eyes and the sweet taste of her lips that drew him. Something about her he couldn’t define heated his blood and captivated his mind to the exclusion of everything else, even self-preservation. But those same vulnerabilities and her recent rejection was what made him pause. He lifted his head to stare down into her upturned face. She smiled, her eyes liquid emerald pools. All he saw reflected in her expression was a beautiful woman who wanted him as much as he wanted her. No hesitation, no fear. So different from what he’d seen in the clearing two days ago. Somewhere in the midst of their wild passion on the dance floor, her legs had wrapped around his waist, bringing her core right up against the now-ridged part of him. He could feel the heat of her through the stiff denim of their jeans. She squeezed him with those long legs and leaned into him again. “I want you, Zack,” she whispered against his ear, her warm breath caressing his neck and raising goosebumps over his skin. He nearly groaned with the explosion of lust her words shot through him. She nibbled on his neck, tempting him further, but he needed to think this through to protect them both. The last thing he wanted was to hurt her, and in the process, injure his own tattered heart. Author Bio: Jamie Schulz lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her family, her husband, and their fur babies. Writing has always been a big a part of her life, and she hopes to one day reach the best sellers lists. Cowboys, ice cream, and reading almost any kind of romance are among her (not so) secret loves. To her, every one of her stories, no matter how dark, must have a happy ending, and she strives to make them impossible to put down until you get there. She balances her free time between reading her favorite romance authors--in genres ranging from erotica and dark romance to sweet historicals and contemporary romance--and spending time with her family.

- Sweet Pain with Cara Dee's "This Will Hurt-Part II"
Love, in all its forms, can make us swell with joy, swoon with pride, and sometimes even...hurt. You won't be hurting for a good romance with the second installment of Cara Dee's angst awakening friends to lovers family story, This Will Hurt II. There's even a chance to win a $15 Amazon Gift Card after you read all the deets below! Book Details: This Will Hurt II* by Cara Dee Publication date: June 2nd 2023 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, LGBTQ+, Romance Synopsis: Buckle in. Roe and Jake have mountains to climb, walls to tear down, and countless private moments to bring them even closer in this final part of their journey. The ground beneath me had finally settled. I was content. I was all right. I could move forward and live with my choices. Then I found Jake’s damn journal from… therapy. That was right. My best friend, who defined “man of few words,” was in therapy. The ground started shaking again. I got desperate. I got angry. I…almost lost him on the job when he saved my life. Nothing was settled anymore. * Part II of II Angst Awakening Friends to Lovers Family Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/137136128-this-will-hurt-ii Purchase: Amazon: https://amzn.to/43se0qg Author Bio: I’m often awkwardly silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there’s so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex. There’s a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly. Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve. I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect. Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing. I'm a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, cooking, baking, and geeking. There’s time for hockey and family, too. But mostly, I just love to write.

Amazon: https://amzn.to/3oK0H68 Excerpt Tel ‘Shira was growing impatient. It had seemed like an eternity since she had assumed her position here in this oak, and the anticipation was becoming unbearable. The incessant rain, though much lighter than before, didn’t help the situation any. She had participated in a number of engagements during her time as a warrior. From fighting a centaur tribe, to barghest, lizock, and even an engagement with a band of ogres from the mountains, she had more experience in combat than most. Still, this felt different than any engagement before, and she could not help but feel a certain apprehension. Then it hit her. A tingle ran down her spine. A loud shriek followed almost immediately, the sound of a roc in serious distress. She turned her head up towards the sound, catching a glimpse of a dark figure swooping just above the tree line. One of her allies fell right before her, his spear tumbling to the ground as his lifeless body impacted a lower branch on its way down. His mount followed quickly behind, one of its wings torn clean off. The blood soaked its once regal feathers, pieces of bone and sinew sticking out of its side. Another shriek followed from above, and another roc rider came tumbling down just across the clearing. Tel’ Shira climbed, swinging branch to branch. Her claws tore into bark as she catapulted herself up. There was a flash of lightning as she flipped herself over the top branch, arriving safely above to see her four remaining allies. The illumination from the lightning aided her in seeing the two dark figures that were flying just above. Three of her allies were closing in on one of the demons, attempting a three-pronged attack to take out their enemy. Unfortunately, the second demon had no intention of letting this assault succeed. It quickly dropped down from above, plucking one of the three riders from his mount and tearing his legs off as if pulling a weed. With a quick spin, the demon’s left claw impacted the roc and tore through with just as much ease. The blood and bodies of both its victims tumbled down through the trees and out of sight. These demons were as large as a small drake, making the rocs that her allies rode upon look like mice by comparison. They appeared to be twins, both having leathery, black skin and demonic, yellow eyes. Each had a short tail with spikes protruding from all sides, giving them a natural weapon. Their pupils were like slits in pools of blood, and as Tel’ Shira locked eyes with the demon who had just torn her ally apart, she felt as if she was trapped in a void of despair. She had to act. Now. As the cornered demon went to defend against the rider to its left, the first demon swooped up toward the other rider. Tel’ Shira sprang forward, her legs propelling her with speed and power. Flying gracefully through the air towards her unsuspecting prey, she pulled two daggers out from her belt, ready to pounce with precision and take down her much larger foe. Through her peripherals, she caught a glimpse of the final living rider. He was descending towards the primary demon. Time slowed as the wind ran across Tel’ Shira’s body, each drop of rain flowing across her fur without resistance. She landed blades first upon her prey, the daggers penetrating through the thick skin of this demon and into the flesh of his back. The demon let out a cry like none she had heard before. Following his cry of pain, he spewed out a great torrent of flame towards the nearest roc rider, instantly incinerating the unsuspecting felite and his mount. Author Bio: Husband, father, and seeker of truth, Joseph Macolino has a passion for nature, philosophy, and all things fantasy. An unwavering Christian and self-declared anarchist, he dreams of a future human society where people can truly cooperate and voluntarily exchange ideas, goods, and services. When he’s not writing Evorath, he’s likely outside gardening, spending time watching a show with his family, or reading a book on philosophy. Considering himself a lifelong student of humanity, Joseph enjoys meeting new people and being exposed to new perspectives. He believes each person’s unique gifts can help contribute to stronger communities and hopes his work encourages others to embrace their gifts. Evorath introduces a rich world full of magic, adventure, and diverse characters trying to find their place in the world.

I know it’s a cliché, but I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a burning desire to be an author. But as often happens, life got in the way and the stories roaming around in my head never made it to the page. I got married, my husband and I raised our two sons, we moved from NE Ohio to Southern CA then back to Ohio, and, although I started and ended many careers along the way, none of them were what I truly wanted to do. Then, a few years ago, a young man was hired into the office where I was working. Although his job supported this young man and his family, I could tell his heart wasn’t in it. All he talked about was how much he wanted to be a music minister. One day, while he was confiding in me, I asked him when he was going to stop trying to be something he wasn’t. “If you truly have calling to music ministry, then do it,” I told him. Two months later, he left our company to take a full-time position at a church. Two years after that, he paid me a visit at the office to thank me for encouraging him to follow his dream and to present me with a copy of the CD he and his church group had just recorded with a well-known record producer in LA! Well, of course I was honored and delighted for his success, but I had to ask myself why I wasn’t following my own advice. After dinner that night, I sat down at my computer and started writing. However, I had no idea what I was doing! I had no creative writing education or experience and not a clue as to how one goes about getting published. But I didn’t let that stop me. I was on a mission, and it was full steam ahead! I read a ton of books and articles about writing, talked to a few published authors, joined a local writers’ group, and took every criticism and suggestion to heart. I also started reading a lot more novels of varied genres, not only for the enjoyment but also to analyze those authors’ writing techniques. I edited my manuscript to death until it finally attracted the attention of a few literary agents and independent publishers. Then, one day, I was offered a contract. My lifelong dream had finally come true! Funny how God (or fate or karma or whatever you believe in) has a way of bringing people together so they can help each other find their way. What is something unique/quirky about you? I’m a bit OCD, although I prefer to use the word “perfectionist”. You know how, for example at a White House dinner, they measure the distance between the place settings, so the table is uniformly set? Yeah, that’s me. I would have been the perfect butler at Downton Abbey! Tell us something really interesting that's happened to you! I once met and shook hands with Bill Clinton! Now, regardless of your political/personal opinions, I believe he deserves the proper respect for having served as the president of our great country. That being said, when I shook his hand, did I say, “It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. President”, or “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Clinton”? Of course not! In my nervousness, I blurted out, “Nice to meet ya, Bill!” I will never live down the embarrassment. What are some of your pet peeves? My biggest pet peeve is people who don’t speak English properly! Sadly, I’m a self- appointed member of the Grammar Police. Where were you born/grew up at? I was the second baby born a hospital that had just opened its doors in Youngstown, Ohio. My mother told me she was upset that another woman delivered just an hour before her! I guess Mom wanted her fifteen minutes of fame. Other than the four years I lived in Cleveland while attending college and the seven years I lived in Southern California, I have always called the Youngtown area my home. And where, you may ask, is Youngstown? If you draw a straight line between Cleveland and Pittsburgh, you’ll find Youngstown smack-dab in the middle of the two cities. If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your last day? Enjoying the pleasure of my family’s company. Oh, and eating ice cream until I was sick to my stomach! Who is your hero and why? Michelle Obama. She’s so intelligent, so well-spoken and poised, and possesses so much class. What kind of world ruler would you be? A really bad one! I would spend so much time being diplomatic, making sure everyone had a voice in the decision-making process, that I probably wouldn’t get anything accomplished. What are you passionate about these days? Travelling! Whether it’s by car, plane, or ship, my husband and I usually have a few trips planned at any given time. This spring, we have a family vacation to Napa scheduled with a stop in Las Vegas along the way. During the summer, we’re embarking on a cruise around the British Isles that includes a stop in Paris. We have our favorite spots that we like to return to periodically, but we also love to explore new parts of the world. I love being in this phase of our lives and having the freedom to go wherever we want to go whenever the mood strikes us. What do you do to unwind and relax? Oh, that’s an easy question to answer! I spend a couple of hours at the end of each day absorbed in either a riveting novel or a compelling series on television. Plus, I gather ideas for my own novels from what I read and watch. (Laughing) Now I’m not sure if that qualifies as down time or work! How to find time to write as a parent? Our sons are adults, so finding time to write is not an issue for me. However, I certainly empathize with and greatly admire those who manage to write while juggling children, a full-time job, and taking care of their household. Describe yourself in 5 words or less! I’m just now getting started. When did you first consider yourself a writer? When I received positive feedback from my beta readers. These wonderful women read a lot of books written by respected authors and knowing that they were genuinely impressed with my novel gave me the validation I needed to think of myself as a real, honest-to-goodness writer. Do you have a favorite movie? Now you’ve hit on one of my favorite topics! I often pose this similar question when my husband and I are out with friends or sitting around with the family: “What three movies would make you interrupt what you were doing, no matter how important the task, if you walked by the den and saw one of those movies playing on the TV?” The responses have led to some very interesting conversations. My answers – The Godfather, Jaws, and Jurassic Park (with National Treasure being a close runner-up for third place). Not only are these three movies my all-time favorites, but the novels remain some of the best I’ve ever read. If you haven’t read them yourself, I highly recommend you do so. While I agree with the general consensus that a screen adaptation is never as good as the book, in my opinion, these movies dispel that theory. Here’s why I love them. I’m second-generation Sicilian on my father’s side which, in addition to the movie being just plain fabulous, may have something to do with my fascination with The Godfather. Jaws is a great man vs nature story that lands those tense scenes, tender moments, and humorous one-liners in all the right places. And Jurassic Park? A tropical theme park in which the attractions are live dinosaurs, and the dinosaurs get loose and terrorize everyone on the island during a raging monsoon? What’s not to love? Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie? Well…I’ve only published one novel so far, but I’m working on the sequel and plan to write a third. The trilogy would make a great 3-season series on one of the streaming services! Netflix, are you listening??? What literary pilgrimages have you gone on? While I’ve been to many of the locations where some of my favorite novels have taken place, the journey wasn’t specifically for that purpose. However, this July my husband and I are taking a 12-day cruise around the British Isles. While the ship is docked at Invergordon, we’ve scheduled a visit to Culloden Moor specifically because of the importance the Battle of Culloden plays in the Outlander series. We’re both fans of Outlander, so we’ll be channeling our inner Claire and Jamie Fraser!

Rosemary and her husband of 45 years enjoy traveling - on land to visit family and friends and on sea to any destination a cruise ship will take them. When not working on her next novel, she can be found discussing the latest in literary fare with her book club, playing a rousing game of Bunco with some of her oldest and dearest friends, researching her ancestry, volunteering in her community, burying her nose in a book, or obsessing over the latest binge-worthy TV series.

More than Men at Work comes from a land down under. Prepare yourself from thrilling chills from award-winning supernatural thriller author, Janice Tremayne. The Aussie author has, once again, taken readers on a spine-tingling ride through the paranormal with The Charterhouse of Evil, the shocking fifth book in the Haunting Clarisse supernatural horror series. If you like bold characters, adrenaline-spiking investigations, and jaw-dropping twists and turns, then you’ll love Janice Tremayne’s malevolent tale. Read the excerpt below, if you dare. Then take your chance to win Infant Spirits, Book 4 of the Haunting Clarisse Series, in the tour-wide giveaway below! Book Details: The Charterhouse of Evil by Janice Tremayne Genre: Supernatural and Suspense Horror Publication Date: October 4, 2022 Synopsis: Bound to life old and new, the sins of the departed still haunt her. When wickedness infects the innocent, can she see the curse undone? Western Australia. Clarisse Garcia is ready to return stronger than ever. With her husband by her side, the plucky spirit hunter is back on familiar territory with an assignment for Benedictine monks. And now she’s out to vanquish whatever evil is plaguing the monastic village that caused orphans to mysteriously die. With what could be a voracious demon on her hands, Clarisse partners up with a man who grew up in the local orphanage to investigate suspicious activities. And as they dig through the monastery’s shrouded history, she discovers that some of these servants of God might not be as benign as they claim… and she may be their next quarry. Can this driven woman end the impiety before more lives are sent to the grave? Excerpt Detective Ramsey flung the door open, the doorknob etching into the paster wall. He didn’t care about this room of horrors. It was still a crime scene with broken police tape on the floor after all these years. No one had entered this room since they had found the monk’s body sprawled on the floor in a fetal position, his hands reaching for the sky as though announcing himself to his creator in his dying moments. But the detective thought it was a naïve end, as the priest had been charged with the murder of a boy in 1970. He was a criminal. A paradox to think a murderer could enter the kingdom of heaven. “The white marking on the floor is where the priest was found dead,” Detective Ramsey said. Clarisse tentatively stepped into the room. She felt something morbid. “Death lives here,” she said. “What do you mean?” the detective asked. “Whoever died here never left. His soul remains, I mean.” “His spirit occupies the room?” The detective raised his eyebrows. “The monk died a shallow death, questioned his faith, and held his hands up to the Lord to save him.” She paused, held her palms in front of her, and closed her eyes. “But it was too late. He had already traded his soul with the demon and knew it.” “A desperate attempt to avoid the confines of hell?” Clarisse nodded. “In our hour of death, the truth always comes out, Detective. All the things we lust for in the immortal world become insignificant. Because it’s in our last minutes, as we cling to life, that we realize we have a soul.” The detective placed his hands in his pocket. “I don’t know what to make of that, Clarisse. You’re saying we learn about the afterlife in our hour of death?” “Yes, even nonbelievers come to terms with that.” “And that is more frightening than death itself? To think that there is life after death?” “And then Detective, it is too late to reverse the course of your life.” Author Bio and Links: Janice Tremayne is an award-winning supernatural horror writer from Australia.

Fall under the spell of USA Today Bestseller, Violetta Rand, and become enchanted with her newest historical romance, The Highlander's Enchantress. Read the excerpt below, then don't miss your chance to win a $15 Amazon Gift Card in the blitz-wide giveaway! Book Details: The Highlander’s Enchantress by Violetta Rand Published by: Entangled: Amara Publication date: May 29th 2023 Genres: Adult, Historical, Romance Synopsis: If her cruel and domineering father were to be believed, Kali Bane is the worst of women. Defiant. Independent. Were it not for her beloved younger sisters, she would have sought her freedom long ago. When she refuses to wed an old, wine-soaked English lord, her father bans her to the McKay clan in the Highlands, warning them that she’s a witch. There is no welcome at the McKay castle—only an aging laird prone to fits of temper who believes that Kali is, in fact, a witch. A sorceress. Here she is little more than a hostage, kept from sight from almost all but Adam McKay, the laird’s son, whose hypnotic green eyes make her long for something forbidden. It’s almost enough to make her abandon all thoughts of escape. Kali is the only one who can protect her sisters from their father’s greedy machinations. But the longer she remains imprisoned in the McKay tower, the more Kali and Adam realize there are other forces at play. They’re both pieces in a silent, terrible game that could destroy everyone they’ve ever loved…including each other. Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/136265574-the-highlander-s-enchantress Purchase: Amazon: https://amzn.to/3MYgwz7 B&N: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-highlanders-enchantress-violetta-rand/1143393665?ean=9781649375582 iBooks: https://books.apple.com/fr/book/the-highlanders-enchantress/id6448289263 Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/the-highlander-s-enchantress Excerpt He tugged their joined hands onto his lap so she had to turn and face him again. “Live.” “Live?” “Thrive.” “Aye.” She seemed to understand now. “Prosper, regardless of yer circumstances. What better way to spit in the bastard’s eye?” She rewarded him with a soul-warming smile—soul-stealing, really. Pretty white teeth, each one a precious pearl, and perfectly formed lips stole his attention. And the sound of her tinkling laughter… He was doomed. Cast into the pits of agony because this untouchable—forbidden—woman stirred something inside him that had long been dormant. Perhaps never there before. There were dozens of local lasses worthy of his affection and respect, but they all paled in comparison to this striking woman. She was fire and ice, sunlight and moonlight, sweet and bitter, and any other paradox his addled mind could create. “Why are ye staring at me?” she asked, appearing uncomfortable. “I hold ye in the highest esteem, lass—yer tenacity and iron will to survive.” Again, her features softened at his words. Aye, he’d have to tread carefully with this one. She missed little if anything. If only he could reach out and caress her cheek—provide comfort and reassurance with tender kisses. For a brief moment he forgot himself and leaned closer, his mouth hovering just above hers. Adam’s heartbeat intensified, and his mind swirled with anticipation of what she would taste like. What it would feel like to hold her in his arms? But as their gazes clashed, he remembered her words, how men always wanted something… Damn it, she was beautiful and smelled so lovely and looked so perfect. Be the honorable man ye were raised to be… Author Bio: USA Today Bestselling author Violetta Rand was raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, and spent her childhood reading, writing, and playing soccer. After meeting her husband in New England, they moved to Alaska where she spent a decade working as a scientist before quitting her day job to pursue her dream as a full time writer.

Er... make that faeries... and not the normal, hiding-in-plain-sight magical kind. When a misadventure cleaning out the attic leads Isaac to release a faerie trapped in a glass ball of light, he believes he's struck gold--in the form of wishes. All he has to do is mention the name that was engraved on the ball, and the indebted faerie would grant him any three wishes he wanted. The best part of all was knowing that there was an entire chest of captured faeries waiting to be freed... But when strange things start to happen around town, Isaac begins to wonder if the increasingly unfortunate events are his doing. Only his mysterious neighbor, Yara, knows the truth about his lineage as a Light Keeper. Can Yara's strength and wisdom guide Isaac into his new role? Can Isaac make things right again?

They almost reminded me of ornaments without the hooks. I reached in and clasped one of the balls in my hands; the ball glowed a faint orange. I rolled it around but couldn’t identify a battery or a charge port. What powered this thing? The only other interesting thing about the glass was the word engraved on the side. C-R-I-S-T-O. Cristo? What a disappointment. Lightbulbs. I had torn the attic upside down for lightbulbs. I was reaching back down to pick up another ball when the first slipped from my hand. I grabbed for it but clasped only air. I couldn’t do anything except listen to the glass shatter on the floor. As I imagined Mom’s frustration when I explained to her that I’d broken one of Grandfather’s priceless heirlooms, a wispy fog poured out from the shattered glass, floated over the floor, and expanded to cover every inch of space. The cold and damp fog sent a chill through my body. The light from the window illuminated the silhouette of a figure in the mist. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I swatted my hand to wave away the fog from my face, but the figure remained. I wanted to run back downstairs, nail the door shut, and apologize to Mom and Dad, but I couldn’t move. I wasn’t sure if I was frozen in fear or had an intense fight complex or my curiosity was too strong, but I needed to see what was coming. My knees quaked, and my heart thumped as the fog cleared and the shape in front of me became more pronounced. The figure loomed over me. He was thin and tall, not abnormally so but taller than the average man. His suit was one I had only seen in movies about olden times and reminded me of a leprechaun’s. The suit had a waistcoat, and he even wore his trousers tucked into long socks. He also wore loafers with buckles on the shoes. The man’s skin was rough and weathered. He had a long-hooked nose, his face formed sharp angles, and his ears were half the size of his head. The most curious thing about this person were his eyes. The man strode toward me. His eyes turned my blood cold. Was it because looking at his pupils felt like staring into a deep well? His intense gaze locked onto mine. I wanted to leave, but something prevented me from looking away from him. A lump in my throat grew larger with each step he took. He came to a stop in front of me with perfect posture, hands folded behind his back. In a stone so calm and quiet it almost scared me more, he asked, “Do you know my name?” My stomach lurched and threatened to make me throw up from panic. This person had come from a ball inside a secret locked chest. My mind raced a mile a minute. How would I know his name? The only indicator I could think of was the word I read on the glass before it broke, Cristo. In a broken voice that squeaked and made me sound younger than my sister, I asked, “Cristo?” The man snapped into a bow. The quick gesture caught me off guard and made me hop a step backward. His friendly smile stretched from ear to ear but did not match the despair his eyes made me feel. He stood and grandly announced, “At your service. What tasks will you have me perform?” Giveaway $30 Amazon Follow the tour HERE for special content and a giveaway! https://www.silverdaggertours.com/sdsxx-tours/the-light-keeper-book-tour-and-giveaway About the Author: Christina Wallace has been many things. A student, an analyst, a wife, a mother, a gamer, and a lifelong writer. For almost as long as she can remember she’s dreamed of people and places that only existed in her mind, and sharing her stories is a dream come true. Christina writes books not only for middle-grade audiences, but for young and new adults as well. Stories should be an escape. Christina likes to write about people who become their own heroes and take fate into their own hands.

After obtaining her PhD, she joined the federal government and worked and lived internationally for more than fifteen years. Returning to the states, she seriously pursued her writing career, garnering such awards as a finalist in RWA’s Golden Heart contest and a Pushcart Prize nomination. A recognized Sherlockian scholar, her essays have appeared in scion newsletters, the Baker Street Journal, and Canadian Holmes. She has recently turned this passion into an origin story series on Sherlock Holmes. The first book, The Adventure of the Murdered Midwife, was the CIBA Mystery and Mayhem 2020 winner.
