Long, long ago, when I didn’t know any better, I wrote a book about vampires in the middle of a contemporary series. The book wasn’t out long before it was pulled, and over the years I’ve had a lot of people ask me when it’ll be re-released.

Now, I’m finally writing the paranormal romance I always wanted to write, so it was time to pull it back out and look at it.

And, I cringed. Let’s just say I’ve come a long way as a writer in the past six or seven years. Even going through to tighten up the wording wouldn’t have helped, so, I pretty much started from scratch with the characters.

There have been so many changes, I don’t think I can call Riding the Storm a rewrite of Safeword: Storm Clouds. It features the same characters, and a few of the same plot lines, but it now fits into The Chattanooga Supernaturals, with all new plots and conflicts, plus a few of the minor plots and conflicts from the original.

Kendra has always been Abbott’s Third, in my head, so I couldn’t change that. And, she needed to find her happily ever after. The story needed to come out again at some point, and now’s the time.

Release date on this one is March 29th — two weeks from today. Here’s the blurb:

——————-

As the vampires begin to realize bagged blood isn’t giving them what they need, Kendra goes in search of a human companion. She’s been a Domme for the past thousand years, and has never had trouble finding human men who want to submit to her.

Eric is a human adrenaline junkie who spends his time hang gliding and jumping out of perfectly good airplanes when he isn’t creating video games. And he smells of sunshine and blue skies — addictive to a vampire who’s seen neither for nearly three thousand years.

Unfortunately, he’s a Dom. But he’s so full of life, and he gives her adventures when she’d forgotten how to live with joy.

As the two navigate their compatibility in bed, Eric must figure out whether he can handle living in Kendra’s world, and the vampires have to figure out whether they can deal with their third in command submitting to a human they feel is so far beneath them on the evolutionary ladder.

While Kendra and Eric work through their personal challenges, they must also fight a group of powerful supernaturals planning to enslave Eric in an effort to exploit his skills and further their own agenda.

Can Kendra and Eric battle all of this to find happiness?
