I’m so glad you stopped by today. On this page are the fiction and non-fiction books I’ve published on Amazon and Kindle. All are now available for free through Kindle Unlimited. You can download them right now and read today.
Two tongue-in-cheek vampire novels, “Jilted” and “Flight“, are fun and may even give you a laugh or two at the unconventional vampires making lives for themselves in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. No dark castles. No itchy red velvet clothes. He even owns a Mid-Century home built for a notorious gangster. If you like T. Kingfisher’s novels or Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid series, you may like The New Vampires, too. You may also enjoy the book if you like black Cadillacs or beat-up old RVs or professional level make-up. But be aware: these vampires have fangs and know how to use them!
Two other novels I’ve written using the name of Annie Carroll are “L.A. Ladies,” a cozy, romantic mid-life mystery in Los Angeles and “Playing for Julia,” a sizzling, steamy romance set in 1969 San Francisco.
