I’m super excited to share this story. For readers of Lachlan’s Curse, this is Chase’s chance to shine and to meet Alice Carver.
The big question for Alice: When is the truth more than the truth?
She’s is a librarian with a scary gift. She can “see” the truth about the people around her.
Can you imagine if you knew your co-worker’s dark secret? Or your neighbor’s deepest shame?
It makes keeping and maintaining relationships pretty hard. But despite the knowledge, Alice is a brave and courageous woman. She’s not afraid to dive into danger or right a wrong or two.
Writing Alice and Chase’s story was a fun ride. She kept me on my toes, demanding a seat at the druid’s table. I think you’ll discover that she is more than a match for Chase Rockwell and the twisted demons that have shaped his past.
Thanks for your support!
Hey everyone,
I know it’s been ages since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been deep in the recesses of the writer cave.
Back in 2018, I completed two novels. Both sequels and both are coming in 2019.
I’m revealing only one of them today. If you want early access to my latest news, then please join my mailing list. Membership has its privileges!
Anyhoo, coming Summer 2019: Book 2 of the SevenOaks Guardian’s series!
Book One: Lachlan’s Curse introduced Chase Rockwell. Let’s just say, he didn’t have a good time in that book.
Well, he’s back along with his story in Chase’s Fire.
Here’s a look at the cover. Enjoy!
As stated earlier, this isn’t the only cover I’ll be revealing in 2019. I have a big year planned. More to come!
Hello friends! Happy New Year!
I’m participating in a treasure chest event at The Romance Review.

Don’t miss out!
Dead Girls Don’t Cry is finally for sale on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo and iBooks (and a few other places too).

No good deed goes unpunished, especially for a stripper who just happens to be a vampire.
Cherry Cordial, vampire stripper extraordinaire, spectacularly messes up her life with a single act of kindness. How could she have known when she rescued gorgeous rogue Ian McDevitt that she would be implicated in the vampire queen’s murder? Soon, she faces the wrath of the entire vampire community. To escape retribution, she joins a settlement program to colonize Mars. Her choices are grim: hurtle through space to the red planet to face the unknown and possible death, or stay on Earth and face> certain annihilation. To make things even more complicated, a certain gorgeous rogue seems to be shadowing her every move…
I hope everyone is having a great summer so far. It’s hard to believe but I’ve been “blog silent” for close to a year now.
But why, Casey?
It’s been a busy 11 months for me. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
I finished the third re-write of Over Easy. I pitched it during Fiction Fest 2015 and received requests from agents and editors. During late fall, I also sent out a flurry of queries and, yay, received requests for the full manuscript.
Sadly, even though there was interest in the story, I haven’t sold it yet. Oh well, that’s the nature of this business. Also, the agents/editors who took the time to read my manuscript provided me with useful feedback which is a step farther than I’ve gotten before. It seems like a defeat but it’s really not. In the past, I used to get no response at all or just robo-emails saying, “thanks, but no thanks”. So, yeah, receiving feedback is a great sign of progress. Go me!
On top of that, believe it or not it’s been four years since Mystic Ink was published by Soul Mate Publishing. 
Happily, they wanted to keep the book for a little while longer. Plus, there’s a smokin’ hot new cover (by Fiona Jayde). Nice, right?
In the midst of all this, something else major happened. Jupiter Gardens Press decided to close shop. As a result, the rights for The Undead Space Initiative have reverted in full to me. That meant I needed to take action, not only on that book, but I also needed to get off my keister and write another book in the series. Oh, and I also decided to rebrand the first book as Dead Girls Don’t Cry (available August 18th) and indie pub the remaining books in the series.
So guess what? I am near first draft completion on book 2 Dead Girls Don’t Sing. No release date yet, but I can promise that the cover is fabulous (more on why I say that, below).
And if that wasn’t enough to do, I needed a crash course in DIY publishing.
I hired a cover designer which led me to The Killion Group, Inc. I heartily recommend her and here’s why.
Isn’t this cover fabulous?
She also formatted the print and ebook too. With their assistance, the book is ready for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and iBooks. The print copy will be coming shortly as well.
Whew!
But wait, there’s more. I will be doing a virtual tour with Bewitching Book Tours in August, details to follow some time soon.
And, some day soon, my blog will be receiving a reformat. In the meantime, I hope you like the mini-facelift and new logo too.
Yes, I’m back. You’ll be hearing more about what else I’ve been doing (like two panels at #CTConn2016) but I’m saving that for another day.

Good news! I sold my latest paranormal romance – Lachlan’s Curse – to Soul Mate Publishing. It will be released late summer 2015.
This is a new story, not related to the Mystic Series. The back cover blurb says it all:
For over two hundred years, Lachlan Gray – druid and last magic wielder of his line – has kept Haven Falls safe from an ancient evil. His sacrifice, eternal imprisonment with his mortal foe, was meant to protect the town and people he loved. After his bones are unearthed and his enemy is accidentally freed, he has no choice but to rise again. Confronted with the modern world and the loss of everyone he knew, he finds solace in the one person who trusts him the least.
Archaeologist, Dr. Sara Winslow believes in truth, logic, and cold, hard scientific facts. Hiding from a painful past, she’s more comfortable with ancient history than dealing with the living. The dead can’t lie, cheat or betray her. That is, until she unearths the one skeleton capable of resurrection. Now, she can’t ignore the truth right before her eyes – magic exists, evil is real, and it’s coming to destroy Haven Falls.
To survive, Sara has to trust this sexy stranger and embrace powers she never knew she had. And Lachlan never imagined that a hot blooded woman would make him question his vow to destroy his enemy at any cost. Even united, can their passion survive the evil seeking to tear them apart?
