Riley Shane
I am a native Californian who has spent the years since graduating high school bouncing around the world at every opportunity. I am a graduate of Vassar College where—despite often being distracted by British Literature—I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. I'm an avid reader who spends much of my time engrossed in romance novels...when I'm not being shanghaied by the loud, demanding, often-crazy characters that live in my head. Right now you can find me in Northern California, but who knows where I'll be next? So long as I have my laptop and most discerning critic with me, I'm ready to travel and write from wherever the wind may take me.
Enough about me—I'd love to hear from readers. You can find me on the Web at http://www.rileyshane.com via email at [email protected], on Twitter (@rileyshanebooks), and on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Riley-...).
“Gray grinned down at her. "You broke the bed.”
“If people really want to ward off the undead, why don't they hang anchovies instead of garlic? I mean, seriously, is there anything more off-putting than those creepy little fish?~Cáel van Court to Damien Beck”
“I never said there wasn't anything to worry about. Just that I'd handle the situation. Take a deep breath, stop calling, and don't get involved. I'm full up on crazy family members at the moment.~Grayson van Court to Cassandra van Court”
“Lust is a tool, desire a trap. Wield the first, and you can take someone’s soul. Fall into the second, and they can take yours. ~ Isadora Conti to Grayson van Court”
“Cáel sighed. “Look, right now? Either you want Rose, or you don’t. If you do—and, quite frankly, it’s obvious to me that you do—then give the woman a break and give yourself some credit for not being a whack job. Women are strange creatures, Gray, and she isn’t a mind reader. Who the hell knows what kind of conclusions she’s drawn over your behavior? Shit or get off the pot.”It was a good thing Gray wasn’t drinking anything, or he’d have choked on that one. “That’s your advice on love? ‘Shit or get off the pot’?”
“Blood is everything when it comes to magic. ~ Alasdair of the Fae”
“Life isn’t a bitch, but death sure is. ~ Rosaline Carrison”
“A name is simply a noun used to distinguish one person from another. But it’s amazing how much baggage can be packed into a single noun. ~ Grayson van Court”
“Men, whatever their species, are predictable in their needs. ~ Isadora Conti”
