SEQUEL TO ZIA
Now that INAMORATA'S PASSAGE has been released, I thought I would answer a few questions people have had concerning the ZIA trilogy. Most of you want to know if both Kim and Kiel return in the sequel, and the answer is yes (although Kim's presence is greatly diminished due to the new setting - Kiel's world.) But if you are Team Kim, don't worry, he'll be back with a vengeance in the final book - even though the relationship between Zia and Kiel ignites with a fevered intimacy in this new sequel.
"Zia closed her eyes, and let her head drop back onto Kiel’s shoulder. Her fingers guided his
pleasured hands, their movements synchronized with the pounding rain.
She reached behind her back, clutching each side of his hips and pulling his body to hers. Slowly, Zia moved one hand to the front of his waistband, allowing it to slide gently downward, the distant thunder applauding her gesture."
The second question I always get is why I chose to make the two male protagonists in my novel Asian. And to that, I say "Why not? " With the ever growing popularity of K-Pop/K-Dramas in America, I felt it was time for western females to finally have a romantic fantasy featuring the types of young men they...well...fantasize about. And that is South Koreans.
I had a reader want to know if I based my characters' appearances on any particular Korean stars, and I told her yes. Then I had another young lady ask me to be even more specific, so here goes. If you are reading ZIA or IP and need a visual for Kim or Kiel (pronounced Kyle) check out these photo mash-ups, and I think you'll have a very good idea - plus some pretty sweet, candy-coated dreams!

I Told You I'd Come Back...
...And here I am. Sadly, it never occurred to me that what I thought would be a short hiatus would turn into almost a year! But in that time, I did author two books, the first one being the sequel to ZIA. INAMORATA'S PASSAGE became available this week in both paperback and on Kindle/Nook.
If you read and enjoyed the first book in the series, I hope you'll check out this one as well. It has the same dash of fantasy and magical realism as the original plus a love triangle big enough to span two worlds.
And this time, the title character in ZIA discovers that love is more than kissing. A whole lot more!
The second novel, an adult thriller titled ROCKING HORSES PAINTED RED, is a sinister little story about regret and revenge. And in the next few days, I promise to post more about each.
But until then...
