What does a sophisticated lady of a certain age really look for in a work of fiction?

I love to explore the cracks and crannies between the greatness of the past and the values of the present. When you read my stories, you'll often see "good" characters turning sinful and exploring decadent impulses they never knew they had. But the "bad" characters often discover new courage and the ability to share and trust.

If you'd like to read more free fiction, please go to FanFiction and look at the stories I've written under my All-American alter-ego, Dan Sickles.

And if you're over 18 years of age, with money to spend and a taste for excitement, why not look for my commerical writing as well?

I am a published author with PHAZE books, . Look for HUNTED WITNESS and HIALEAH HEAT, both written by me as Carol Storm. And check this out! 2014 has been a breakout year for me, thanks to the amazing people at Blushing Books. Why not come over and check out my naughty, over 18, spankalicious August 2014 releases, CRYSTAL AND GOLD and LOVE BEYOND TIME? And don't forget to look for my March 2015 release, MERIT'S REWARD! It's a sexy older woman younger man story that features the mob, scandal, and intrigue in the bedroom and the corporate boardroom!

Last but not least, if you feel like checking out my author blog, look for me as Carol Storm on Facebook, Goodreads, or at THE STORM REPORT,

Enjoy!
