Me and my cats (Amiga, Diabla,Ember, and Keats) live in Springfield, Oregon and dream about having a home in New Orleans one of these days (well, I do, anyway. The cats most likely have far different goals involving sleep). I like Springfield, so I'd keep my home here too (in these wild fantasies) so I'd have a place during the summer heat and humidity and, wow, why not a nice little cottage on the Oregon coast while I'm at it? And a few pool boys?I'm the author of two urban fantasy series, both published by POCKET:The Maker's Song series: A RUSH OF WINGS, IN THE BLOOD, BENEATH THE SKIN, ETCHED IN BONE, and coming soon, ON MIDNIGHT WINGS.And the Hoodoo (Kallie Riviere) series: BLACK DUST MAMBO, BLACK HEART LOA, and coming soon, BLACK MOON MOJO.
