Hungry and homeless, Isobelle
refuses to sell her only possession, her body. When she is finally driven to

Bram lives under a curse, one
that's driven him to become a creature in hiding, knowing every full moon will
turn him into a monster.
Bram and Isobelle both have
demons to fight, and their struggles soon turn to lust...and love. But destiny
awaits them: they are fated to help the Dragonstone clan reclaim its
birthright. This mission puts Isobelle's life in peril and worse, puts Bram's

Morganas, daughter of the Merlin,

Isobelle but also becomes her darkest temptation.

Excerpt:
Chapter One
Millions of
spiritual creatures walk the Earth,
Unseen, both
when we wake, and when we sleep.
John Milton,
Paradise Lost, Book IV
A sound. A
shadow. The breath stilled in my lungs. I froze mid-stride, icy tentacles of
fear twisted around my desperate heart. I waited with every fiber of my body
alert to my surroundings. This close to my goal I could not, nay, would not, be
denied. A board creaked. The certainty I was not alone slithered through my
mind. Evil surely awaited in the rising mist of the gloaming. It crept silently
in over the water and beclouded the bottom of the river below. I had to hurry.
I willed my body to move and lurched to the dark wooden railing, grasping it
with stiffened fingers. Looking down, I could see the mist rising thicker and
settling on the cold rushing water. I shuddered. I fancied the swirling mist
forming itself into the searching fingers of death. A macabre welcome surely
awaited me with absolution for my sins, an end to the agony that my life had
become. I felt no hesitation in my mission.

Interview
Where are you from?
I’ve lived all over western Canada, but I was born in
Portage la Prairie. I was only there for a short when I was a baby. Having been
moved so much shaped me into the person I am today, for better or worse.
Tell us your latest news? I am so pleased about a
review for my book on release day. So exciting. You work hard as a writer and
then to have someone enjoy it enough to write a review, well, it blew my mind!
When and why did you begin writing? Early on I was
one of those—the dreaded teenage poet.
When did you first consider yourself a writer? I
think the first time I was accepted by a publishing house. It was such
wonderful feedback that someone thought my work worthy of preparing it for its
best debut into the world.
What inspired you to write your first book? Stephen
King’s, The Green Mile. I wanted to
feel what it was like to be a healer, and what better way than to live the
experience through your heroine. I had just lost a brother to cancer so I
really needed to feel some control. Writing the book helped me recover.
Do you have a specific writing style? I just
discovered writing Seventh Son that I
have a strong voice inside that was unexpected. A new way of crafting words and
ideas that has captivated me. It fit the Windswept Women series perfectly
according to my wonderful editor, Rebecca. I’m so enamored of this new style
that I want to write all my books this way!
How did you come up with the title? I love research.
I read many a werewolf encyclopedia to get the proper information for the
legend I wanted to craft, and discovered that the seventh son is thought to be
the one to turn into a wolf in ancient times.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp? That love conquers all.
How much of the book is realistic? I think the
characters are the most realistic. The legend is based on Avalon and Merlin’s
daughter, Morganas. There is magic of course, but I want the reality to be
gritty enough to feel real to the reader.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life? Not really, though I think it’s not uncommon to fight for
those you love most.
What books have most influenced your life most?
Stephen Kings, Salem’s Lot and
Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind.
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor? Hmm, good question. I have been blessed with help from so
many I don’t want to say and leave anyone out.
What book are you reading now? I’m always reading
books. Today it is Her Husband’s Harlot by
Grace Callaway. Tomorrow it will be someone else. I think of reading as hitting
all the highs for me: research and entertainment.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest? There are so many wonderful new authors I hesitate to point any out!
What are your current projects? The sequels to Seventh Son, Hellfire, Twice-Born, and Forbidden. Also, my contemporary romance, The Power of Tess, being released soon from Ellora’s Cave. I like
to keep a few projects on the go.
What would you like my readers to know? That writing
is as necessary to my life as breathing, and I can only hope to touch a life
for a little time with the magic of storytelling. I believe that having
our voices heard is akin to sharing our souls. And that all we have as humans
is the power of the journey…
