When Darkness Falls

When darkness falls it liberates the unimaginable. Creatures unseen by the light take ownership of a black domain. A world of shadows, dreams and dark desire replaces what was once seen, once acceptable, once pure. In darkness fears spring to life, loneliness evokes questionable actions and those destined to walk in the light often stray. The unsuspecting succumb to forces older than time itself, unknowingly walking side by side with instigators of sin.

The name of this blog hop appeals to me. So much so, I decided to included a little snippet (above) from a paranormal romance that's been churning around my head for a while. It's unnamed as yet and the plot is a tricky chameleon that continues to taunt me on a regular basis, but enough of that. Back to the blog hop.

When the Darkness Falls... The title conjures up all sorts of images. For some people those images will be ones of horror, something ominous and scary. For readers of the paranormal genre, something or someone mysterious and exciting (probably with fangs) may fill your mind. For me, I think of something erotic, sensual and seductive. Odd? Maybe. However I can't believe I'm alone in my imaginings.


I write erotic romance. My stories fall within a variety of categories/themes - contemporary romance, romantic suspense, ménage a trio, and BDSM. Ultimately though, I write about desire. Some people might say I write about the darker desires. So far both Finding Angel and Playing Jax, books one and two in the Wylde Shore Series have been the main focus of my BDSM themed writing. Needless to say it came as a surprise to me when the characters for Seducing a Cougar, the fourth novella in the Sydney Cougar Series, turned out to be a Dom and his sub. Some of the other characters in the Sydney Cougar Series have had their kinky moments but none have taken their kink to the next level. In Seducing a Cougar, Blake and Susan go all the way. I'm not just talking a little spank on the ass either, we go darker than that, but you'll have to read it to find out how much darker.
