Like my vampire characters, I live among the foothills of the Pennines in the United Kingdom, although that is where the comparison ends. I have a PhD in English Literature and spend most of my time reading, dreaming up stories, and petting the neighbourhood cats.
If you have any questions, you can contact me.

The Gathering Shade
(Sisters of Twilight #2)
Quintia was a Sister of Twilight, a vampire warrior. She didn’t do feelings… did she?
This job should have been an easy one. Get into the hospital, retrieve the blood sample, get out. But now a pretty doctor with light blue eyes is in her way, and Quintia finds herself enchanted by the headstrong human.
Rosalind, a genetic consultant at a busy London hospital, refuses to hand over the blood sample she took from a mystery patient. Especially not to the tall, leather-clad woman that just strode into her laboratory. There is something strange going on here, and Rosalind won’t give in until she gets to the bottom of it.
The Sisterhood is facing an unknown foe and Rosalind might be the key to unravelling the mystery. Circumstance forces Quintia and Rosalind together despite their differences, but perhaps the cliché is true: opposites do attract…
The Gathering Shade is the second book in a sapphic contemporary fantasy series about a Sisterhood of sword-wielding vampires fighting an evil that is threatening to overpower vampire society. It features a fresh take on vampires, mystery, and a sweet romance.
