I’ve been an avid reader of fiction since I learned there was more out there than the books that were assigned in school. I love to be taken away from reality and shuttled into the future or dropped into the middle of a contemporary adventure, murder mystery and of course a romance. Story telling has always been in my blood and my head, but it wasn’t until later in life that I started putting those stories on paper. I love our world and the time we live in, even with all the problems, which explains why I normally write contemporary romantic suspense. Recently I stepped out of my box and tried my hand at a futuristic romantic suspense. I must admit that trying something so new was exciting, now we’ll just have to see if any thing comes of it. I’m a Texan from the top of my head to my feet, but you’ll seldom see me in a cowboy hat or boots. I attended the University of Houston earning a BA in Computer Information System. From there I went to work for a NASA contractor and spent several enjoyable years helping install and test software in the control center. After leaving that position I ventured into the world of contracting, which was exhausting, before landing a job at Enron. I’m sure you know how that ended, so I won’t bore you with the details. Don’t feel sorry for me though, after Enron left me, I took a job that allowed me to spend more time with my family and concentrate more on my writing. I live in the same town I grew up in with my husband, two boys and two dogs. When I’m not being housekeeper, chauffer, chef, plumber or wife you’ll find me with my laptop typing away and ignoring the mayhem that seems to constantly surround me.

Demon Spell – Chapter 1

Midnight Goodman stood in front of the group of eager recruits and tapped down the urge to bolt for the nearest door. Most nights of his life he was fighting demons determined to kill him, so a few dozen enthusiastic potential Demon–Hunter candidates shouldn’t have him quaking in his boots.

He pointed to a young woman at the back of the room. Yes, you have a question?

The woman stood. There are many stories about how the portals between Earth and Torlin opened. Could you tell us what really occurred?

He took a breath. Originally, it was said the portal was opened from the Torlin side, which is false. The portal was opened from both sides. For those of us on Torlin, it wasn’t our first experience with another world and we understood the risk. Here in the United States, it started as a NASA project.

Midnight paused in his speech and walked to the other side of the stage to give him some time to gather his thoughts. He was a hunter, not a professor or public speaker. He was adapt at handling weapons, not words. Reaching the other side, he prayed he didn’t sound like an idiot.

The NASA scientists were experimenting with time travel. These scientists thought if they harnessed the extra gravitational pull during a full-moon, they’d have a better chance of success. They succeeded, but instead of traveling to the future, they weakened the barriers between our two worlds. This is why the gateways open only during a full-moon. It’s through these openings the demons from Torlin travel each month. These are the same portals which allow me and others to travel between the two worlds.
