Donna & I love to play around with playlists. For every book we divy up the hero & heroine (via no particular method except Donna writes medical professionals & law enforcement types, and I tend to bogart all the technical geeks) and take full responsibility for that character’s history,...

Behind the Heroine: Brynn Adler

Brynn was a challenging but fun character to write, and I credit most of it to the fact that she’s harder than most of the heroines I’ve written lately. I like inner strength and a level of toughness in all of my heroines, but Brynn has more than that. She’s a little cynical, maybe... Read more

Mackenzie Brooks has a heavy load on her shoulders in Crux. Not only does she start off the book on the run from a madman, but it’s through her eyes that readers discover the world of Southern Arcana. When she stumbles into the middle of a magical mystery, she’s completely out of her depth.... Read more

Noelle loved sex. She loved it fast and dirty and slow and sensual and a thousand ways in between. She especially loved sex that was nothing but pure sensual indulgence. Plenty of her trysts took place outside the walls of the Garden, with only her own whims and pleasures guiding her choices. But sometimes... Read more

Poor Donna has admitted that Oliver was hell to write because he didn’t have much to say. If we’d had a heroine who was equally reticent, this book could have gone downhill fast. Luckily there’s nothing shy or withdrawn about Hazel Young. In fact, if Oliver had had something to... Read more
Behind the Heroine: Kiara Avery

When we first started batting around the concept for Last Hope, I envisioned Kiara first. We’d only done shorts in the Mystic Valley universe, so I was thinking an erotic vignette under 10k words, maybe a psychic–an empath, even–who spends much of her time taking other people’s... Read more

When Bree first began to develop her concept of the lovely, carefree Leofric, I didn’t know he was going to need a heroine of his own. I thought he was a blast, but he was just “Zack’s drinking buddy.” I didn’t realize it was only a matter of time before he’d... Read more

As Bree said yesterday, we had a blast writing Wild Card. Not only did we get to have fun with some postapocalyptic worldbuilding, but we got to create a trio of strong, kickass heroines…not to mention the sexy men who love them. Virginia Howard has some issues when it comes to love and the inherent... Read more

Life is often busy for a writer, and we hadn’t even decided to do these character profiles back when our first release, Moonshine, first came out. But recently I’ve been working on some revisions on Last Hope while Donna slaves away at edits on Crux, and it occured to me that we’d... Read more

Zoe Bennett is a woman with a problem. An accident turned her into a werewolf a year and a half ago. Introduced to the realities of the supernatural by the co-worker who turned out to be a werewolf, Zoe got romantically entangled with him before she realized he was far more interested in hiding his...
