I write fast-paced paranormal, sci-fi, urban fantasy, and superhero romances with strong thriller elements. While every story has a romance, the characters are often put through high-stakes situations with emotional, psychological, and physical challenges. Regardless, there is always a Happily Ever After or Happy For Now ending. Here’s what to expect:

Violence

My books contain action and violence comparable to what you’d see in PG-13 movies or network TV shows: fistfights, shootouts, stabbings, and bloodshed.

If Obi-Wan cutting off an alien’s arm or Frodo losing a finger is too much, you might want to wait until you’re in a safer headspace to read.

Sexual Content

There are no scenes of rape, non-consensual acts, or rape recovery in any of my books.

When erotic scenes occur (usually one or two per book), they are always consensual and integral to the character relationships.

Trauma

Each book features at least one main character who has experienced emotional, physical, or mental trauma.

These experiences either take place before the story begins or unfold during the narrative.

While trauma is addressed and the intensity levels vary, they are still in line with the level of violence mentioned above.
