About Karpov Kinrade

I was born with ink in my veins and magic in my heart. I've hit some lists (USA TODAY bestseller, top 10 in all of Amazon, iBooks, and B&N, things like that). Mostly I play with words, think about words and write down lots of words, hoping some of them make exciting stories. When I'm not writing, I'm yelling at my cat to get off the counter (he never listens) and hanging out with my kids.

A glimpse into a Forbidden Mind [EXCERPT]

From Forbidden Mind, Chapter 4: Sam  Something cool and soft tickled my forehead. My eyes pried themselves open as my head attempted to clear itself of the drug-induced fuzziness. Lollie had her small hand pressed against my skin. "Time to wake up. We'll be at our destination in thirty minutes." She handed me a cup of [...]

She knew they loved each other, and knew that he was a vampire drawn to her blood specifically. She wrote the dream down and kept [...]
