I resolved to tell Mel everything the moment I got back to the roadster.
At first, I told myself it was because I was eager to brag about tricking Ángel. But that self-deception flaked off quick. ...

“A cat,” Mel said, stifling a massive yawn.
I jerked out of my road hypnosis. “What?”
“That’s my shifter form,” she told me. “I know it’s probably driving you crazy, so I thought I...

Hi all, just wanted to give a quick progress report.
This week I've uploaded Chapter 2 of Opposites Distract. There are two reasons. First, I wanted to introduce Edgar's POV, and second, I've been using this time to perform some vital behind-the-scenes upkeep on Sunglasses in t...

“Sure…” I wasn’t sure, not really, not about what Mel was trying to tell me. “I know that shifters turn into different animals, obviously. And about the, uh, variations. With the other stuff.”

Hi all! I have stuff to share, so let's get to it.
First, I'm happy to report that Charlotte's Reject has been performing very well. 🥳 Considering how much of an unknown this story was, I'm deeply gratified and more than a little relieved! This was my first novel written vi...
