Constant Craving

Here’s your SNEAK PEEK of the cover for Book 1 of my new series,

Shakespeare’s Wolves & Witches

a paranormal romance series

for fans of The Witcher, Kresley Cole, or Ilona Andrews

Each book in the series is a wildly loose riff on one of Shakespeare’s plays, with plenty of love-sex-magic for all.

Wulf is an immortal werewolf shifter and mercenary monster-hunter, hired by King John to destroy a coven of witches. When he meets Constance, the widowed mother of the rightful heir to the throne, he doesn't realize that she is the most powerful witch in the kingdom. Constance has been hiding her power so long that she fears what will happen if she gives up her control and loses herself to her emotions. When she seduces Wulf in order to protect her fellow witches, she will risk exposing her magic to the witch-hunter. As the tension mounts and the king threatens the lives of Constance and her son, Wulf is torn between his commitment to vengeance and his feelings for Constance.

Constant Craving is based loosely on the fabulously strong heroine Constance from Shakespeare’s King John.

I adore Shakespeare, but he does Constance dirty in the play.

I rewrote her story and gave her a dirty, dirty man to make up for it.

 I’m Jemma. I write saucy books, and I’m about to work up the nerve to publish my first: Constant Craving. It’s a paranormal historical romance loosely based on Will Shakespeare’s King John.

I believe in HEAs for everyone, especially my readers. Oh, and I’m the pant-charming, champagne-swilling alter ego of a literature professor. I’ll get this book into your hands as soon as I can convince my professor self that it really, truly is good enough. xoxo!
