Danica Winters-Paranormal Romance Writing Cowgirl

Please welcome Danica Winters! Her Nymph Series sounds like a must read, with Greek mythology, romance, and settings that include Crete and the wilds of Montana.

Romance in Montana

Whenever I am at a large event outside of my home state I’m always asked where I’m from.  Perhaps it is the fact that I have never owned a purse that cost over a hundred dollars or a pair of heels that I’ve seen in a magazine.  Or, it could be the fact that my dress clothes have mostly been purchased at ranch supply stores (I’m not kidding).  I’m not saying I am unprofessional—no far from it. I always have a nice shine on my boots and my hair is filled with spiraling curls and silver clips (unless I’m at home, in which case you will find me in yoga pants and a sweatshirt even in July).  When I tell my readers I’m from Montana I am usually met with a response like, “Are you serious? Montana Montana?”

Those wonderful readers helped to remind me what a wonderful and picturesque state I have the honor of calling my home.  It was this reminder which pushed me to write my latest book Montana Mustangs which takes place in a blink-an-you-miss-it town called Somers.  Somers lies on the northern tip of Flathead Lake, one of the largest natural lakes west of the Mississippi.  Having grown up in Montana I have had the chance to dip into this bone-chilling lake that rests in the bosom of the Mission mountains. The water of the lake reflects the snow-capped craggy mountain tops and as soon as you see it you are instantly reminded about how small we are in the grand puzzle of life.

The truth is that most of my writing is inspired by not only the ethereal beauty of Flathead Lake, but all of the beauty that surrounds me in this wonderful state.  Every morning when I leave my home I’m met with the nod and wave as I pass my neighbors on a dirt road that has been forgotten by GPS.  This slow-paced lifestyle is solely focused on the love of nature and the bounty it has to offer.  In addition to the necessary love of the outdoors I am filled with a need to write—a need to share with those who love the written word.

In Montana Mustangs I have created a work in which I have tried to capture my love of Montana in addition to capturing the hearts of my many wonderful and loyal fans.  If you love books that are outside of the normal Mary Jane romances and if you like the unexpected twists and turns of mystery than you will love the paranormal romance Montana Mustangs—the second book in the Nymph Series.

The Nymph Series is a connected series that revolves around the lives of several nymphs as they are each faced with the curse of their kind—fall in love with a human man, and the man is fated to die a tragic death.  The first book in the series, The Nymph’s Labyrinth (which was featured in USA Today) takes places in Crete and follows the lives of an American archeologist and a museum curator who is charged with keeping the history and secrets of her kind under wraps.  I’m happy to say, readers and reviewers have loved the first book in this series.  The third book Winter Swans is slated to be released Fall 2013.

If you have questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below.  I love to talk to my readers.  Where do you live?  What is your favorite thing about your home state/country?  I would love to hear!

Thank you for stopping by,

The Nymph's Labyrinth, Danica Winter, Nymph Series

A nymph: a woman with the ability to seduce at will, shift to protect, but cursed with the fate to have the man she falls in love with die a tragic death. As one of these ill-fated nymphs, Aura Montgarten has spent her lifetime drifting from one place to another hiding from love. Until she meets Dane.

When a body washes up on the shore of a rural Montana lake, police officer Dane Burke is faced with the task of finding the killer—even if it means he will be forced to put his life and heart at risk by working with a drifter.  As the truth of Aura’s Mustang-shifting nymph ways are revealed, Dane learns exactly the amount of danger he and Aura are in, but can’t force himself to leave a case unsolved when the truth is just outside his grasp.

When the killer decides he needs to take another victim—Dane—Aura must choose between their forbidden love and her immortal life.  Can there be life without love or is death her only choice?
