How about a brief description?
A second-chance paranormal romance with emotional depth, small-town charm, and a powerful shifter twist.
Billionaire bear shifter Kort Behrens has conquered the business world but failed in love twice. Elizabeth Murphy, a Reiki healer and grieving widow, has given her heart only once. When fate reunites these estranged college friends in Gambler’s Folly, long-buried sparks reignite. But with emotional scars and supernatural forces at play, will they risk it all for one final shot at love?
Perfect for fans of fated mates, paranormal romance, friends-to-lovers, second chances, and shifter love stories with a touch of magic.
Old Flame delivers a slow-burn romance full of heart, healing, and destiny….

If you like fantasy romance, with a bit of the paranormal, some second chance romance, or friends to lovers, this book is for you.
Kort could have his pick of women, with his money, power, and good looks. Except for the one he wants. An unexpected reunion with this lady brought feelings he never hoped for. Why had they never even dated when they’d been at university thirty years ago? Since graduation, he’d had two failed marriages and a string of gold diggers after his wealth. He said he would never marry again, but Liz might prove him wrong.
Liz had been married shortly after university, but theirs had been a passionless marriage. They got along well enough, but there was no real passion in the bedroom. Now a widow, she sees no reason to look for a relationship. Kort had been a good friend at University, but they were just friends. They hadn’t even dated. But their surprise reunion brings a different vibe to their relationship. There was no way he could be interested in her beyond a holiday affair–could he?
With four stories to choose from, you tell me what you think.
First up is Gambler’s Folly. First book in the series, it introduces you to this fantasy world with Damiano and Karianna. Leopard shifters who are soul mates.
Next we have Dante’s Angel. Dante has never been off Gambler’s Folly, but is going to Earth with Dam and Kari for their wedding. Who could have predicted he’d find his fated mate there?
And The Russian. Dmitri was over 500 years old. He didn’t want another relationship, let alone a mate. Danni, at 23, had no time for romance between work and taking care of her mother. But when nature calls…
And finally–for now–Old Flame. Billionaire and bear shifter Kort Behrens had no luck with love. Elizabeth had been a widow for four years and saw no reason to seek a relationship. But they’re going to Gambler’s Folly…
Gambler’s Folly, where every love story is a gamble, and Fate always deals the final hand. She’s shuffling the cards as we speak. Who’s next on her list?
So, is it paranormal romance? Paranormal fantasy? Soap opera?
If you do, you’re in luck! I’ve recently chosen to put Old Flame up on Kindle Unlimited. I have so many friends who are enrolled, who have asked if my books were available there, that I thought I’d give it a shot.
If you are a voracious reader, you might do well to check it out. I can sit and read a cozy mystery in an evening. Thrillers take a little longer, especially if they are particularly convoluted and involved–like one of my favorite authors, D. D. Black.
Several of my author friends have their books available on KU as well and seem to have good luck.
So if you use Kindle Unlimited, or if you just like eBooks, go on over to Amazon and check out OLD FLAME. While you’re there, pick up copies of the other books in the series, such as The Russian.

I do my online posts every day, and every day someone tells me they’ve read my book, they love my book, or they’ve bought my book. And since I released it through Draft2Digital, and they have links to all the various retailers who carry it, I can go to their site and look up my sales records.
What I don’t understand is their records show no sales of my new book Old Flame, even though I’m getting loads of comments and statements that people have read it.
So what am I to think? Are people lying just to make me feel good? Are the folks at Draft2Digital behind on posting sales?
I love writing and I know quite a few people who wait impatiently for me to release something new. And I don’t intend to give up writing. But a little bit of support would be fantastic.
So if you know someone who would love a cross-genre paranormal/fantasy romance, set on a fantasy vacation destination filled with luxury accommodations, and shifters of every sort, send them my way.
Currently, I have two series. My latest release, Old Flame, is from the Gambler’s Folly series. Gambler’s Folly, where every love story is a gamble and Fate always deals the final hand.
Do you like second chance romances? Friends to lovers? Bear shifters?
I know, some people are very superstitious about today. But for our daughter, it has always been a great day. Anyone else have the same experience?
And it’s Father’s Day weekend as well! Wishing all of you guys out there a wonderful celebration.
As you know, Old Flame is now out there in the world. So far, all the comments I’ve heard have been positive, which is exciting. The down side is that I’m not seeing a lot in the way of sales yet.
This series–Gambler’s Folly— is a cross-genre paranormal/fantasy romance in a unique universe. The whole concept revolves around a vacation destination world and the capital city, Speranza. In book 1, we meet the owner of a high end, luxurious hotel casino chain–the Stella d’Oro– where high stake games of various sorts are played.
Remember, on Gambler’s Folly, every love story is a gamble, and Fate always plays the final hand.
What would you gamble for love?
The tone is sensual, and high heat in this paranormal romance series. Most couples are mature, featuring soulmates, fated mates, and a bit of off-world politics. There is strong emotional and physical chemistry between the couples, resulting in a forever bond.
In Old Flame, we have bear shifters. It is a friends-to-lovers story, with a bit of second chance in the mix. Our heroine is a widow going off for a month long vacation to our favorite world. After a surprise reunion with an old college friend–who is also traveling to Gambler’s Folly– sparks begin to become embers as they travel to their destination.
If your a fan of The Psy-Changeling Series, by Nalini Singh, Immortals After Dark, by Kresley Cole, or Dark Protectors, by Rebecca Zanetti, check out Gambler’s Folly and Old Flame!
