I
live in North Carolina with my boisterous family–husband, three kids, a dog and
a geriatric bunny–and yup, I’m Southern so occasionally I let a “y’all”
slip out. Maybe more than occasionally.
I
love my job and dedicate as much of my time to writing as I can. When I’m not
doing the weaving of the adventurous and romantic tales, I’m running errands,
driving people around (or crazy depending on your perspective), and generally
pretending I’m a grownup.
When
I was fifteen, I knew I wanted to be a novelist–wanted to write for Harlequin
actually. But the calling to tell stories came a lot earlier than that, I just
didn’t know what it meant.
I
had a lot of growing up to do before I could manage it, though many would claim
the growing up part didn’t take--you know who you are--but I finally have my
dream job.
Life
rocks—so should the books you read!
ABOUT THE BOOK
...some people will do anything for revenge.
A tough PI struggles to track down a vengeful serial killer only
to discover that the murderer holds the key to her secret magical heritage.
Book One in the YA13 paranormal/mystery series Dangerous Magic by
Judy Teel. "Expect action, on-the-edge-of-your-seat suspense, and the
perfect touch of romance."
AN EXCERPT
I
inched forward, far enough to see past the end of the alley and into the
loading area of the abandoned Walmart. Only one stubborn streetlight on the
other side of the broken security fence cast its inadequate glow across the
cracked asphalt. Shadows pushed around the edges of the open space, deepening
where they cluttered up against rusty dumpsters and smashed crates.
My
heart thudded against my ribs at the sight of the woman standing just inside
the slash of light, huddling in on herself, shaking. She was average height and
on the plump side, around twenty like me, with light brown hair. Unlike me, her
boobs looked ready to spill out of the low-cut halter top she wore, and her
tight micro skirt was so close to showing her goods that if she twitched, I'd
be scarred for life.
Three
male vamps cruised around her like sharks. Their fangs were displayed like
sharp, curved knives, their features sunken parodies of a human face, more like
fleshy skulls as their insatiable hunger gained control. I wondered how much
money they'd offered to lure her out of her zone and into such a dangerously
secluded area. Maybe all they'd needed was to promise her the erotic trip that
their venom gave. Either way, she'd made a fatal error.
People
were incredibly stupid about vampires. They had no idea what they were dealing
with.
