If spicy supernatural romance is your thing, then check out the Books page to see the first book written under the pen name E.M. Pickering. After ghostwriting a number of romance novels as an opportunity to push the envelope as a writer, I met with unexpected success and praise for my work from the clients I worked for and their audiences. That gave me the confidence to push out on my own.

​

My work blends spicy romance, mystery, and supernatural elements set in the Deep South.  Crescent City Nocturne finds Boston native Scarlett Blackmore fleeing the wreckage of a broken romance and landing in the most haunted city in America. Despite not looking for a relationship, she meets an enigmatic young man - Julien - who catches her eye and her heart. 

​

But Julien has a secret, one so profound even he's not sure what it is. Scarlett is drawn, as if by a supernatural force, to figure Julien out and help him find his own past. It's a fast-paced read set to a jazz beat. It's an exciting read, and with Kindle Unlimited, you can read it for free - or less than a Starbucks coffee if you don't have a subscription.
