Rick Holt is a successful architect. Little does anyone one know, he learned his talents at the actual Bauhaus school of design in Germany, back before it was closed in 1943 by the Nazi's. Rick has a secret - he's a vampire.
Rowan Broom is fortune telling in her corner of the Goth club when she throws down a few tarot cards and discovers that the darkly handsome guy at the bar possesses a literal heart of darkness. Rowan has a secret: her magic is powered by sex - in its rawest and basest form.
Evil, in the form of a demonically possessed sorcerer walks into the club and targets Rick as his victim of choice. Using her tarot Rowan discovers the grave danger that the entire club is in. Suddenly Rowan has to set herself the to bizarre task of rescuing a vampire.
With the Goth bar in flames behind them, Witch meets Vampire face to face to discover that they have absolutely nothing in common - but unearthly desire.
And this is only the Beginning...
Rick and Rowan are caught up in a whirlwind of dark adventure that carries them to the hidden heart of ancient and mysterious Russia where the good guys are less trustworthy than the bad guys - and the bad guys are literal creatures of nightmarish legend.
For me, writing is more than a passion; it's an obsession. I am a voracious reader of Romance, Science-Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Erotica, so naturally my stories follow along the lines of what I want to read.
Where do I get my ideas from? Rampant curiosity. I play the game of 'What If?' with everything I encounter. Everything I do and everything I see, triggers a story to be told.
Why do I write? I write to keep my sanity. The stories crowd into my head. I write them down so I can get some peace.
