I’m running a contest for the readers in the Whipped Cream Chat group where I’m chatting on 8/29 at noon ET. It’s very simple – name my hero!

The hero is a panther shifter and former Marine; the heroine is a witch who is not looking for a man, black cat or not. Her name is Anastacia.

Give me a good, strong name for the hero and I’ll use it in my book! I’ll use Random.org to choose a winner. Assuming my editor approves of the name, you’ll get a free copy of that book upon release.

And in the meantime, you’ll win a copy of Maui Rekindled!

The contest closes at 6 pm PT Monday, 8/30/ Leave a comment with the hero’s name and check back Tuesday morning to see if you won!

In celebration of my return to my paranormal roots, I’m offering a free short-short story. Skyclad Whispers introduces the village of Whispering Valley, a quaint, timeless place where the inhabitants aren’t always what they appear to be. If you enjoy the read, post a comment and let me know!
