Hooray for Halloween




Halloween…the one day when spirits can walk this world in the flesh when those who are no longer ‘real’ once again become corporeal. A day full of ghosts, witches, fairies, magick…

I don’t know where my love of the paranormal came from, it is something that has always been part of my life. Maybe it was the books my mother read to me or maybe that just helped it along. I grew up reading fairy tales with my mom, not the Disney versions either but the real Grimm style fairy tales that did not always have a happy ending. (In the real Little Mermaid story, she turns to sea foam at the end and drifts away, there is no happily ever after). 

By the time I was 10 I was already reading Steven King, Dean Koontz, and other adult paranormal novels. At the age of 11 I found Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire at a garage sale and was forever after seduced by vampires.

As I grew older the paranormal stories became more than just a little creepy and scary but also a little…sexy. And later… outright erotic.

Over time I have watched books transform and change from the veiled eroticism in Dracula and Anne Rice’s books to the flat out hot sex scenes in today’s romance and erotica novels. Something about creatures with supernatural powers just adds a whole new level of sexiness to the books. 

Alpha male shapeshifters give us that power, control, and animal magnetism coupled with primal urges that can’t be denied, vampires have centuries of sexual experience and awesome powers that make us swoon, demons are the ultimate hotties with badditude written all over them, and then there are the other magickal men- beautiful wicked fey, wily wizards, seductive sorcerers… 

And on Halloween they all come out to play.

It’s no wonder the Halloween season is my favorite time of year. 

During the Halloween season I can walk around vamped out in Goth attire looking dark and spooky. I get to play dress up for all the parties and costume balls (and yes I attend a couple every year) and I get to go wild decorating my home in Gothic Halloween elegance, whimsical spookiness or whatever darkly indulgent Halloween theme I may choose that particular year.

The rest of the year I tend to hide a majority of my darkness inside. Not as much as I used to but the darkness really shows in my creative endeavors which include writing, art, and crafts. Check out my Bewitching Creations on Facebook or in my Etsy store.

On Halloween I can let my freak flag fly high and be as sexy, spooky, Goth and vampy as I want. Got to love that. I can dress in all black, Goth out with my hair, nails, and makeup and just be the true Halloween loving me.

Halloween- the one time of year I can truly be as dark as I want and no one thinks twice about it. And that's just one reason why I love Halloween so much.



My love of Halloween often comes through in my writing. A majority of my books and short stories are set during the Halloween season.

Hex and the Single Witch is a paranormal romance set in and urban fantasy world with erotic elements, so it could be classified as an erotic PNR/UF. 

The rest are erotica and erotic romance.



Vehicle City Vampires 
Book One
By Roxanne Rhoads

Anwyn Rose is descended from a long line of powerful witches yet she can barely cast spells young witchlings have mastered. She has one functioning witch gift, the power of knowing, which has enabled her to find a position as a Detective on Flint’s Preternatural Investigation Team.

It’s a new era in Vehicle City. After the auto factories shut down, the human residents left the city by the thousands making it the perfect new haunt for supernaturals of all sorts, especially vampires- who now ran the city.

Paranormal crime is on the rise. An old evil has slithered in along with a serial killer, who appears to be a vampire, and is draining young women in the city.

Anwyn is on the case with her sexy partner Detective Mike Malone. Complicating things is her relationship Galen, a vampire who looks more guilty than innocent, although Anwyn trusts her instincts even if her power is on the fritz.

Mysterious spells, compromising situations, and a possible demon on the loose make it hard to focus on the case, but Anwyn has to make things right before the human police execute the wrong vampire.

Hex and the Single Witch contains magick, a little bit of mystery, a lot of supernatural mayhem, and a sexy love triangle that will leave you wanting more.
