Branching Out — Time for Some Romantic Suspense

I love vampires. I love demons. Give me a supernatural creature, and you’ve made me a happy woman. Since I love the paranormal so much, it was only natural that I started to write paranormal books (after all, we’re talking a life-long love!). And for the last few years, I’ve had a fabulous time writing about my shifters, demons, and vampires (oh, my!). In fact, I’m still having a great time writing about them—and I hope to keep writing my paranormals for a very long time to come.

However, I have a second love. A love that slipped into my paranormal stories and kept fighting for my attention. You see…I have a weakness for suspense. Because not only do I like those paranormal creatures that go bump in the night, but I also like danger, intrigue, and the rush of adrenaline that comes from fear.

Suspense. Sweet suspense.

So about a year and a half ago, I decided to let my suspense side come out and play. I gave into the urge that had teased me for a while, and I began writing a story about a different kind of monster. Not a paranormal being; instead, a human who was evil, twisted—a serial killer. At first, it was a bit of an adjustment. I told my friends that I was going through paranormal withdrawal. But as I got deeper into the story, the suspense hooked me.

I began to love my FBI agents just as much as my shifters. And fear…well, fear became a necessary component of my story. After all, in DEADLY FEAR, my killer is turning his victims’ worst fears into reality. As I wrote, I discovered that people have many, many fears. And I learned that monsters don’t just have to be supernatural beings. Some monsters can be normal humans—just like the guy next door.

Thanks for reading my post. I’d love to know your take on “monsters”—do you enjoy paranormal characters? Do real-life monsters (those humans who hide their dark sides) scare you more than the creatures of the night?

Description

TWO BRILLIANT AGENTS

FBI Special Agent Monica Davenport has made a career out of profiling serial killers. But getting inside the twisted minds of the cruel and the sadistic has taken its toll: She’s walled herself off from the world. Yet Monica can’t ignore fellow agent Luke Dante, the only man who ever broke through her defenses.

ONE DREAM TEAM

Luke has the unique ability to put victims at ease…professionally, he and Monica made a perfect team. Now they’re reunited to catch a murderer who uses his victims’ deepest, darkest fears for sport - but their investigative skills aren’t enough. Luke and Monica will have to face the secrets from their past, the ones that terrify them the most, if they are to have a future together.

But can they catch a killer whose weapon is … DEADLY FEAR?
