Afterlife is her first book in the series of seven, with the story of Keira and Draven becoming ever more complicated in a world that sets them miles apart. When not writing, Stephanie enjoys spending time with her very supportive family and friends, playing with her dopey deer hound Milo, who has a fondness for eating tennis balls, chatting for hours with her biggest fan, her sister Cathy who is utterly obsessed with one gorgeous Dominic Draven. And of course spending as much time with her wonderful husband Rob, who is her real life hero, one that swaps his shining armour for jeans and comic book t-shirts. Also this year starts a new adventure for her in the form of motherhood as they both expect the first edition to their family in August 2012. Afterlife Saga is going to be 7 books in total and at the moment is working on book 4. Views: 32

Yvonne Jackson was at the top of her field. As a hunter/tracker, she’d never failed to catch her quarry--outlaw or animal--once she’d set her mind to it. But with the IRS breathing down her back for taxes her scumball ex-husband had dumped on her, she was in over her head and desperate to avoid going to jail. So when a government agent offered a way out of her predicament, she jumped at the chance.The assignment was simple: locate and track a genetically altered pack of wildcats that had been intentionally released by internal saboteurs.Yvonne had an elite team under her command, weapons, tranquilizers, the latest in computer and espionage technology … and a special pheromone--developed specifically by the government before the cats had escaped--that should draw the animals straight to her. They hadn’t had time to test it before, but with her skills, they were confident she would succeed in rounding up the beasts.Piece of cake. What she didn’t realize going in, was that she wasn’t hunting animals, but something else. Something science should never have been able to create. Animals couldn’t hide their tracks like this. Animals couldn’t be this intelligent, this adaptive.And the pheromone, which should have been a godsend, which should have made her mission ridiculously simple, didn’t just draw them in. It drove them completely insane with lust … for her.RATING: Mid-length novel: 50,000 words. Written for adults only. Interracial, paranormal romance with heroine who knows how to enjoy herself with three impossibly sexy were-cat heroes. Contains violence which may disturb sensitive readers (necessary for story development), adult language and sexual situations, multiple partners/heroes, anal play, oral sex, sex with multiple heroes at one time.
