Beach Books with Bite!

        Welcome to the web site where the surf's always up and the Beach Party rocks! Mosey down to the dunes, kick off your flip-flops, and play a while!
        I'm excited to announce that my debut novel, La Vida Vampire, is on bookshelves now! The book is set in St. Augustine, and continues to earn wonderful reviews. It's also been in the Top 20 on the Border's and Barnes & Noble bestseller lists, and I'm stoked by that honor!

She's Gidget with fangs?

        Cesca Marinelli is not your typical vampire. Buried for more than 200 years in a smelly coffin under an old Victorian house, she is unearthed in a time when vampires are a protected species. Cesca dives into her second chance at afterlife, and is soon living la vida vampire as a surfer girl, a fiend for bridge, and a ghost tour guide in St. Augustine, Florida.
        Cesca is riding the wave of "perfectly normal"... until the tide turns and brings a stalker, a shifter, and a killer into the picture. Suddenly Cesca is a murder suspect, and is forced to team up with sexy ex-slayer Deke Saber to solve the case. Saber insists that Cesca stop passing for mortal and embrace her vamp powers. If she doesn't, she could be the next victim -- and this time, the wipe out will be permanent.
        I hope you’ll enjoy this first book in my new series from Berkley Publishing, and that you’ll cruise by the Beach Party page for fun facts and contests!
        Until we meet again, hang loose!
