Here you will meet vampires, werecreatures and knights of the fey realm, among other supernatural beings. Stay a while, look around, meet the locals and fulfill your heart's desires... Author's Note Three short stories started this series in 2006, which are now out of print. They were: One & Only, Rare Vintage, and Phantom Desires. All three were vampire tales, involving some of the characters who appear in supporting roles in Sweeter Than Wine and Forever Valentine. I'm in the process of re-writing and expanding them significantly and will be shopping around for a new publisher shortly. My goal is to have them out - in new and much-improved form - as soon as possible. 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 coming out "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 spurred me on to join my vampire and were worlds much sooner than I'd originally intended, which has worked out for the best in many ways. For one thing, I think the interaction of the weres and vamps has made the whole series more exciting. 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 I intend to get all the "previous" stories back out and available for readers, I'm also working on a number of subsequent stories that some of you have been asking about. Yes, Dante will get his own story, as will 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 some will be full-length novels. I haven't worked out the particulars yet, but I certainly do 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! Series Chronology
