Unapologetic Romances Because Love Needs No Excuses
I love taking ancient tales of Irish and German origin and combining them with Native American myths like Spirit Animals to create something brand-new. Don't expect authenticity--instead look forward to excitement, action, and romance.
Growing up in Germany, I've always had a passion for myths and fairytales. No surprise then that I married an Irishman and lived 6 years in Ireland, the country of Leipreachán, Sidhe, Púca and other fascinating creatures. There's nothing like walking at night through a deserted laneway, fog swirling around your feet, knowing that maybe, just maybe, on the other side of the hedge, there might be some old lady in a black cloak waiting for you...
If you got the shivers right now, you know why I feel compelled to write stories around the supernatural and paranormal. There's nothing like a delicious shudder making you enjoy life just a little more... Plus I'm a romantic.
So look forward to modern romantic stories set against the background of ancient myths and legends. Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them!

“A briskly paced and engaging murder tale that should satisfy fans of this series.” — Kirkus review.
A pair of grisly crimes challenges East Hampton Detective Jericho. One involves a body under a bridge. The other is generated by the discovery of a human arm in a shark’s belly.
Kirkus review: “This latest entry in Marks’ (Tumbling Down, 2018, etc.) series featuring Jericho and his cohorts is a taut, fast-paced mystery that skillfully weaves together the investigations of two seemingly unrelated crimes while developing subplots introduced in previous installments. Although Jericho remains the series’ primary protagonist, Officer Vangie Clark becomes an important character in the story as she rises within the department from a 911 dispatcher to detective…”

Foundational to the human spirit is the love of a good story. A good story makes you yearn to live your best life, to fight for things worth fighting for, and be swept away in heroic events. I'm not one for shock and awe, but a story that builds slowly, using mystery, suspense and adventure to draw the reader along.

And wait until the world's remade...

Being squeamish is not a good characteristic for anyone outside of emergency services. It's not helpful for thriller writers, either, says Val Conrad. She loves being able to blend the reality of the places she has lived with actual history, adding the complexities of medicine, and setting a story against a background and bone-chilling crime and the challenge of solving it.
From paramedic to nurse to teacher, Val most recently took time away from writing to finish her third degree and become a family nurse practitioner. She lives in the Texas Panhandle with her husband Bill, serving her hometown and making time to write.

Normandie had the best of several worlds: a Southern heritage, access to schooling in the DC area (which meant lots of cultural adventures), and several years of sculpture studies in Italy. It might have been better for her if she'd used all these opportunities more wisely, but it's possible that the imperfect and the unwise also add fodder for the artist and the writer.
