Gemma Harding can see the dead.
Since she was a child, she's helped cross the souls of those who've departed and led them into the light. Her life is complicated but consistent, as ordinary as someone like her could ever have. She's stopped dating and doesn't believe there's a man out there who would love and accept her once they learn the truth. But Det. Silverman is far more tenacious than she anticipated.
When Gemma becomes involved in the case of a young girl's disappearance, she's plunged into the path of a series of gruesome murders and thrust at the forefront of a desperate search for a serial killer. Gemma must use all of her wits to defeat him and help solve the case before becoming a victim herself. As more girls turn up missing, the fight to stop the killer becomes more deadly at every turn.
Will Gemma become another soul stuck in the witching hour of the night, caught between the harvest of the reaper and the wake of death?

Person
I've always been an avid reader. In my youth I enjoyed historical romance as well as young adult books, creating a love for the written word and stories that whisked me away to foreign places, intriguing characters, and amazing detail.
As a result I began writing my own short stories that soon became novels. My favorite genre, the one I love to write in, is romance, specifically in the paranormal, fantasy, post-apocalyptic, and young adult genres.
As a writer of romance, I find the greatest joy and largest challenge is to keep the love interest and chemistry between my characters at the forefront of the book. It's the main theme. The most important aspect of the novel. If nothing else, the reader should never be in doubt of the connection between the lovers, through strife and indecision, chaos and uncertainty, and the struggle of life, against all odds.
The part I love, the unmistakable thrill, is the development of my imagination, my spin on the romantic relationship between the characters. I enjoy the friction, the longing, the drive to pursue it to completion. I can't wait to see where they go, what interaction they have, and how they fulfill their ultimate conquest.
