Your Alpha, My Mate is now available at
I got started writing paranormal stories after having read a multitude of them. I figured I would try my hand at them, especially since I wanted to get back into writing. My ultimate favorite paranormal is any type of shifter story, especially werewolves. However, I do like the occasional vampire story. I got started on these stories because of the Twilight series, it piqued my interest in werewolves.
When I started writing my husband was and still is all for it even if he doesn’t care for the m/m aspect of my stories. I typically listen to any type of upbeat music to try and get the writing juices flowing and keep them that way. Unfortunately, I do have the occasional bout of writer’s block just like any other writer. I have found that if I work on a writing prompt and walk away from my story for a little while I am usually able to get back to it quickly.
