From my son...too good not to use on my site...

If a vampire married a snowman, what would they name their first child?

FROST BITE. (Okay, it's bad, but I liked it.)

NIGHT WARRIORS- PEARL Honorable Mention 2004- Newly the youngest warrior house lord in centuries, Corwyn Hunter claims his chosen mate, Anna Jameson.  There are just a few little problems.  Veriel, the mad beast elder, claims Anna is his wife.  But, Veriel doesn't only want Anna.  He wants everything Corwyn holds dear, including his unborn daughter.  Corwyn wants to free his daughter as all warriors since the dawn of time have, but the other houses want him to raise her as Blutjagdfrau.  Who is Regana of "Swordbearer Reborn?"

In part two, Talon Cross saves Jayde Albright from a beast attack.  Why does the young woman have a lord's amulet and no blessing?  Learning she is the Blutjagdfrau believed dead for many years, it is up to Talon to train and protect her until her father comes to bring her home.  Veriel will come for her when he learns she is alive.  After all, she is the female warrior "Hunter Born" who can serve as a true mate to him.  Jayde, however, has her own ideas of who she wants as mate.

WILL OF THE STONE (formerly titled KÖNIG CURSEBREAKERS)- PEARL finalist 2004- The NIGHT WARRIORS saga continues with the tale of Hunter Crossbearer-König and his sister, Erin.  Pursued from the moment her curse strikes her, Erin is wanted as mate by the last beast elder, Lorian, and every warrior who hopes to be the next Lord König.  Meanwhile, the only man Erin would submit to isn't interested in the job...or is he?  With König established as the house of Blutjagdfrau, Hunter is relegated to running Crossbearer in his father's place.  Can he convince his chosen mate that the stone is not to be denied?  Sarah, the warrior's most powerful human sensitive, is wanted by Lorian just as Erin is. Can the two women, together with Hunter's son and the ancient stone, do the impossible and free the last elder?

Armen and Dangerous- James Armen’s only wish is a home and family, a quiet haven away from the hunt. Beth Havens is a widow with twin little girls. She never imagined life with a vampire hunter. He never dreamed that he’d be blessed with daughters. Each of them are what the other craves.

Devon's Price- James Lord Armen’s daughters have reached adulthood, and Michelle is Daddy's little girl as always -- only now she's not so little. Michelle has her eyes set on a few weeks of fun with a warrior who wants to take her home as mate. Devon Kauffman vowed to do anything to make Michelle his own, but when he goes too far in the printing madness, he has to lay his life on the line in service to James in order to prove that he is more than the sum of his curse.

The Blade Chaser's Son- Insubordinate. Bastard cursed. Felon. Scott Danvers has been called many things in his life, few of them favorable. Born to a blade chaser and hidden from the Warriors, Scott is nothing like his peers, from his blond-tipped hair and tattoos to his attitude.

Driven to find her mate, Katie König-Maher has met every eligible Warrior in the world without success -- except one. In a world of carbon copy men, Scott is nothing short of unique. He’s the one man who doesn’t defer to her, the only one who lets her be a woman and not a Warrior princess.

The Warrior's Widow- Anyone would expect a mate widowed only months into her introduction to the Warrior world to be traumatized, but when König approves her bid to return home to Hunter range, things begin to unravel. Her printing with Tom Armen wasn't at all what it seemed. It's up to Konig and Hunter to make the wrongs done an innocent woman right, no matter what it costs them in the bargain.

HUNTER'S MOON- Set in the years between the two sections of NIGHT WARRIORS, this book answers questions about what happened in Hunter, while the search for Erin went on. The Hunter men need heirs to the house.  In "Stephen's Sacrifice," the headstrong youngest brother learns that what you say is not always what you do.  Mated with the spunky Gabrielle, he has to defend her when she uncovers a plot to track the missing Hunter daughter by way of court records.  In "Colin's Challenge," Colin learns that you should never say never.  Tracked by a reporter he saved, he has to convince her to accept his protection and drop her story before it gets her killed.  By the time he convinces her to let him be the mate he swore he would never be, she may have alienated the entire Hunter house.  Finally, in "Laura's Luck," we learn the answers to the questions raised about the prized Laura Briony in the first book.  Can a formerly mated man find happiness in the arms of another woman?   Will Corwyn finally get his happily ever after?

After years of careful living, a chance encounter with Jacob Armen and one poor choice may bring the house of lies down.

REMEMBER ME- In "Fair Caitrina," you were introduced to Jörg and his quest to safeguard his mate. In "Remember Me," Jörg has another chance at that goal. Yzabeau de Cambion is as bold as any of Regana's souls, but Jörg has made an awful musing that the Stone decides to take him up on. What if Regana's newest soul came to him with full knowledge of him sexually and nothing more? Could she survive the madness such a situation would drive her to? When Jörg saves Yzabeau from a brutal attack by her brother's enemies, he finds himself caught in a firestorm of passion with Regana's newest soul. Taking her in that condition is wrong, and he knows it, but Jörg has never been able to boast self-control where Regana is concerned.
