“The way into my parlour
is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there.”
The Spider and the Fly
by Mary Howitt 1821
Welcome to my parlour. I’m so glad you stopped by.
I am both a romance writer and a romance reader. Good romance always leaves me slightly breathless, and yearning for an adventure of my own. Perhaps it’s the Irish in me, but a bit of the macabre, a touch of magic, a peek of what might lie beyond the curtain of our reality adds spice to the thrill that romance already provides. Which is why I cannot keep from writing paranormal romances.
So draw up a chair, make yourself comfortable, have a cup of tea as you take a look around and see what there is to see. And I promise, this is the last rhyme you’ll get from me.

"Beauty and the Beast meets Phantom of the Opera (with hints of Carrie and an abundance of Egyptian mythology) in this gripping, intoxicating story, simmering with incendiary sensuality and featuring a heroine who risks all to save the man she loves. An exceptional debut and the first of what promises to be a compelling series." (Library Journal, starred review)

"Top Pick! 4 1/2 Stars! Like moths to a flame, readers will be drawn to the flickering Firelight and get entangled in the first of the Dark London series. Combining Stephen King's Carrie and Beauty and the Beast, Callihan crafts a taut tale filled with sexual tension. This is one of the finest debuts of the season." (RT Book Reviews )
