Johnston.  Welcome to my website!Mystery, paranormal romance, romantic suspense and more… I’ve a lot of interests, and the diversity spills over into my writing.Much of my fiction today involves animals--shapeshifters in my paranormal romances, real animals in my mysteries.  The most recent story in my Pet Rescue Mystery series,TEACUP TURBULENCE, was a January 2014 release.  The Pet Rescue Mysteries are a spinoff from my Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter mystery series.  Pet Rescue Mysteries:BEAGLEMANIA,THE MORE THE TERRIER,HOUNDS ABOUND andOODLES of POODLES are still available and so is the e-novellaNONSTOP SPANIELS.And watch for my new Superstition Mysteries from Midnight Ink!  The protagonist Rory Chasen winds up running a pet boutique in the fictional town of Destiny, California.  The first in the series will be LOST UNDER A LADDER, which will be October 2014 release.UNDERCOVER WOLF, the fourth book in my Alpha Force miniseries about a covert military unit of shapeshifters from Harlequin Nocturne, was published in February 2013--and there are more Alpha Force stories to come, including two in 2014.  UNTAMED WOLF was published in May and will be part of Harlequin's new program in which 
Nocturnes will be available to subscribers, and as e-books, as 
single title books, and readers also will be able to purchase 
Nocturnes in two-book volumes!  My next Nocturne, 
LOYAL WOLF, will be published in August under the same 
program.
I am delighted to say that I was chosen by 
one of my mystery 
publishers, Penguin Group (USA) of which Berkley Prime Crime is 
an imprint, to participate in their Read Humane Program a 
second time.  
They've donated a substantial amount of money to the Humane 
Society of the United States Animal Rescue Team and, to 
encourage others to learn about the organization and to donate, 
they have printed copies of participating books with a special 
Read Humane seal and generated special store displays.  
My Read Humane releases were 
BEAGLEMANIA and
HOUNDS ABOUND.  By the 
way, there is an amazing community of people devoted to saving 
pets.  I salute them all.
My second Harlequin Romantic Suspense, 
COVERT ATTRACTION, was 
a December 2013 release.  No animals are featured in it, 
but I've created a new government agency--and lots of enjoyable 
romance.
And 
guess what?  I've finally got my first backlist book 
available as an ebook.  
THE GLASS SLIPPER, formerly published by Dorchester, is now 
a Kindle book on Amazon!  It's--unsurprisingly--a fairy 
tale.  A Cinderella story.  Chec
