Inferno is the second book in the Tales of the Were and has been contracted for ebook release this June, with print release to follow in 2010. It is Dante's story -- the bad boy vampire we first meet in Lords of the Were. A rudimentary page for the book is now up, but not yet linked to this or the Tales of the Were index page. As soon as we have a cover for the book, it will be added to the index graphics. In the meantime, the blurb is up and some initial character information. Enjoy!

Three short stories started my journey into the paranormal in 2006. The original three stories fell out of print for a time and have now been rewritten, greatly expanded and revamped (pun intended) for a new publisher. The stories are: One & Only, Rare Vintage, and Phantom Desires. All three are vampire tales, involving some of the characters who also appear in Sweeter Than Wine and Forever Valentine.

I know many readers like to read an entire series strictly in order. Because of the behind-the-scenes issues with one publisher going out of business and needing to move these tales in a haphazard fashion over to a new publisher, they've been releasing "out of order." While it wasn't my original intent to release them in the order in which they've been releasing, I've written them so it shouldn't really matter what order you read them in. In fact, this chain of events made me join my vampire and were worlds much sooner than I'd originally intended, which has worked out for the best in many ways.

While you won't need to have read the previous books to understand the current books, I know many people are curious as to the "order" of the stories. Because they are not interdependent, the only "order" in them is the chronology of the story itself. What I mean by that, is for example: Ian and Jena marry in Forever Valentine. They're not married in stories that come "before," but are a couple in stories that come "after." So for those of you intersted in the chronology of the stories, I hope the list below helps a bit.

While all the "previous" stories are now all re-released in ebook (and will be in print in 2010), I'm also working on a number of subsequent stories that some of you have been asking about. Dante now has his own story and I'm working on books for Betina, Rocky, and Duncan from Lords of the Were. For those of you interested in the supporting characters from Sweeter Than Wine, you might be happy to know that I'm already working on Matt's oldest brother's story. Griffon Redstone is the leader of the Cougar Clan. Eventually Matt will get his own story, as will Morgan, Steel, and perhaps Collin, Cameron and a few others. Some will be novellas and many will be full-length novels. I haven't worked out the particulars yet, but I certainly have a lot of writing ahead of me in this exciting paranormal world. Thank you for all your emails and questions about this series. I can't tell you how glad I am that you're enjoying my work. Happy reading!
