Hunter Protection Group
I believe there are people in this world that have special abilities. No, I don't think that every person who claims to be psychic is, but I've seen/experienced enough to convince me that there is more things in the universe than science can explain. Which is why I wanted to write a story about a psychic.
It all started with Gina Devlin, and the oh-so-straightlaced Caleb Mann in the novella The Devil Inside. This story was so much fun to write. I thoroughly enjoy Gina and Caleb, and at the end when her big brother, Angelo, showed up, I knew I wanted to delve into his world too.
The Devil Inside was originally published by Liquid Silver Books in 2004, and even though I wanted to write a sequel for it, I just didn't have the time. Two years later (2006) I got the rights back to the eBook and I jumped at the chance to write the sequel and package them together for Kensington, and Sexy Devil was born.
I never set out to write a series, but I kept coming back to these characters and the world they slowly opened up to me. While it isn't a world I live in completely, I do like to visit it, and it's inhabitants occasionally. And, uhmm, while I do believe in psychics, I'm not so sure about shape-shifters and other things that go bump in the night.
Now, in the year 2020, I have the rights back to the original stories, and I'm thrilled to have a chance to bring them to a generation of new readers. Please remember when reading them that they were written a decade ago, and things have changed a lot in that time. Texting, social media, cell phone, tracking technology. I've chosen not to update these things in these stories because it could mess up some plot points, and require a lotto time that could be spent on creating new stories in this world instead. I hope you understand, and enjoy the stories immensely just the same.
