Reading and writing is a wonderful diversion from an often-difficult world. I love to create my own stories and have control over how things will end. It’s exciting to create brand new worlds and characters. My imagination can come alive.

In sci-fi and paranormal stories, I can invent wonderful places and people. Anything is possible in these genres and that’s limitless. I’m able to create an escape into a special world filled with unique and fantastic things and there is always a happy ending.

A high school teacher inspired me to write. However, instead of initially pursuing my writing career I became a lawyer. I work in divorce court, so erotic romance is a great escape. There can be true love and happy-endings, at least on my pages.

My two children and I have two good-humored dogs that share our home and ease our stress. I have traveled and lived all over the world and these experiences have given me great creative ideas. I look forward to creating many more adventures in romance.







Announcing a new venture:
My co author on the Forsaken Series, Elise Whyles also known as Patricia Bates along with Sady Case are opening a new publishing house, Crimson Frost Books and Midnight Frost Books.  We are combining our unique education, talents, and skills to publish quality works. 

The three of us along with our other team members are very excited to begin taking submissions.  Through our preparation for this venture we have gained the help of other talented artists in the field to assist us in putting out excellent quality stories for our readers. 

We are aware this is a difficult field to enter into and the competition is great; however, we are fully committed and prepared to endure the challenges.  We have endured and achieved much in our combined life experiences, which will contribute to the success and longevity of this company. 

Please stay tuned for more information and check out our web sites which should be up and running soon.
