Omega’s
Choice is a paranormal/fantasy romance that has been
described by one reviewer as being: “Reminiscent
of good old-fashioned, fairy tale-style fantasy, Omega's Choice combines beloved and familiar characters like
ogres, unicorns and werewolves, and combines them with some more modern
paranormal twists.” (I’m flattered by this btw) Even though he doesn’t
want to be there, and has no hope of being chosen, Alpha Aldric Forst of the
Black Ridge Wolf Pack goes to the Omega Celebration at the King and Queen’s
palace. Princess Helena has waited years to choose her Alpha, and Aldric is the
man she’s set her sights on. She worries that he will never accept her
independent and strong nature, and he doesn’t think anyone as special as Helena
could ever choose him. Evil lurks and the celebration turns dangerous. Aldric
and Helena must fight for their lives and solve a mystery before anyone can
have a happily-ever-after.
If
you are a parent do you find it hard to juggle writing and parenting? Any tips
for time management or sneaking in writing time?
Luckily my daughters are twenty-two and twenty-four,
and they allow me all the time I need to write. But when they were younger I
had stepped away from writing for many years as life took over. I’m so happy to
be back at something that I love to do.
Have
you ever based your book or characters on actual events or people from your own
life?
I’m sure it’s happened at least once for every
writer, where they see someone they know creep into one of their characters.
When
you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?
My guilty pleasure is sitting on my front porch,
with a glass of wine and listening to music. Okay, to be honest I bring the
whole bottle outside with me and a bar of milk chocolate
Of
all the characters you’ve ever written, who is your favorite and why?
In Omega’s Choice Helena was one of my
favorite characters. She’s smart, kind, talented and strong. She’s an omega
with a special sensitivity to others emotions which helps her heal others
mentally and physically. She doesn’t back down from a fight and battles right
alongside Alpha Aldric.
If
this book is part of a series…what is the next book? Any details you can share?
The next book
in the series is Ceva’s Chance and it should be out in the next few months. The
lead characters will be Ceva – a white witch and Helena’s godmother who you
meet in Omega’s Choice - and Lothar, a warrior, who you also meet in Omega’s
Choice. In Ceva’s Chance, Lothar and Ceva travel around the kingdom in an
attempt to save shifters from an old threat.

Tagline: Scarred but powerful, Black Ridge Wolf Pack leader Aldric Forst has been selected to mate with an Omega—but first he must protect her from the dark forces that would corrupt her magic.
Book Description:
In a realm of elves, ogres and white witches, where danger is ever-present, Princess Helena Lichtenberg lost her parents at a young age. Raised by her uncle and aunt, Helena values family above all else. Now, as decreed by tradition, it is time to select a mate.
HER ALPHA
Enormous, scarred and scary, Black Ridge Wolf Pack leader Aldric Forst has never drawn the eye of any Omega. Why would he? But, on this, the night of what he swears is his last selection celebration, everything is different. One of those most beautiful, magical and powerful women, the niece of the king and queen themselves, wants him. And Aldric has never wanted anything more in return. No force—no matter how dark, no matter how powerful—will take Helena from him.
EXCERPT:
Princess Helena
took that moment to turn toward him again. Instantly, his heart raced, his
palms became sweaty, and a nervous excitement rolled around in his stomach,
which he wasn’t entirely sure he liked. After all, he was a feared warrior,
people looked to him for guidance and strength, and now he felt like he was
going to pass out because a gorgeous woman was smiling at him with such joy.
As Amalia spoke
to Helena, the princess’s small omega stone on her forehead glowed, and it was
impossible to miss the waves of happiness coming from her.
“Looks like the
princess is happy you agreed to dance with her, brother.” Godric looked about
ready to burst with excitement. “Should I call home and have the rest of our
party get on the road?”
“No, not yet,
Godric. Let’s see how the evening goes first. Then we can call in
reinforcements.” Aldric didn’t want to get ahead of himself. He refused to be
let down again. “What do you think Lady Amalia meant by she’d waited years?”
“I have no idea,
but I do know the only way you’re going to find out is by asking the princess
herself. Ready to waltz, brother?”
“At least all
mother’s lessons are about to come in handy. What if she expects our normal
life to be like this?” Aldric panicked.
“Okay, now
you’re just looking for problems that aren’t even here yet. Get out there and
sweep that princess off her feet with the alpha you are. Wait until I tell
Cassandra she was right yet again.” Godric had a look of absolute glee at the
prospect of making that call back to the pack.
“Yeah, well, if
Cassandra was right about this, brother, then she also predicted that I would
have to fight for my omega.”
Godric turned to
face Aldric and all humor fled from his expression. “If we have to fight for
your omega, then it’ll damn well be one we win, I can assure you of that. If
this night goes well, I’ll be calling in more warriors as well. They will be
here before the sun rises.” Both Theron and Tofa nodded in agreement, even if
Theron continued to tap away on his tablet.
“We shall see,
Godric. Let’s hope I don’t step on her foot. Then it may be the royal guard we
need to fight.” Aldric laughed as he, Godric, Theron, and Tofa stood and made
their way across the ballroom to stand in front of King Leonidas, Queen
Alexandra, and Princess Helena.
Princess Helena
was simply stunning; her emerald green eyes beamed with happiness as he
approached. Aldric had never felt this level of immediate attraction before in
his lifetime. Helena’s curly blonde hair was pulled away from her face,
showcasing her royal tattoo and tiny vines twisting down her slender neck to
her collarbone. Her smile lit up everyone and everything around her and her green
eyes shone with happiness.
Aldric, Godric,
Theron, and Tofa stood before the king and queen, bowing respectfully and
waiting for King Leonidas to speak. The entire time, Aldric hoped like hell he
didn’t screw this up.
The room had grown
strangely quiet.
