My name is Cordelia Kelly and I’m an empath. I know what you’re thinking. In fact, I know what you’re feeling, too. I could use your emotions against you or free you from their constraints. My choice, really, and depends on my mood. You see, I filter both light and dark emotions from humans, but which I chose depends on which side of me is in charge.

I’m not normal. I am the line walker and restorer of balance. A Royal. Think black sheep with red hair – not the blonde bombshell princess. I’m an aberration and unique. Not fully light, nor fully dark. Not accepted by anyone, but wanted by everyone. Mostly for their own amusements or nefarious purposes.

Except for Sol Winterborn. He sees the real me. When fate throws us together to unravel the mystery of my grandmothers death, we have to choose our destiny. Walk together… or continue alone?

The problem is I’ve been found by those who want me dead, and Sol has deep secrets of his own. My only choice now is to fight… or die.


The road is dark, yet I follow the light.

For now.

That sounds sooo exciting. Tell us about the book.
Duality is a paranormal romance/urban fantasy hybrid featuring elemental empaths and a realistic world full of believable characters. There is Love, betrayal, honor, light and dark, good vs evil, and twists.

This is sounds a million miles from the last book we interviewed you about, Finding Time. You say it’s paranormal romance?
Paranormal Romance of the darker persuasion. There aren’t many books featuring empaths. I enjoy being different.  I sometimes say it’s an Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance hybrid.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
Those who like honest and realistic characters with flaws. A slow building romance with steam. But mostly those readers who like reading different worlds and not the same old, same old.

Tell us about Cordelia.
Cordelia Kelly is a 150 year old Empath. She is unique in that she is dual-natured. She harbors both light and dark empathic and elemental powers. She walks a fine line between the two and struggles to stay sane in a world where she is isolated and alone.

Her grandmother was murdered and she is running from her destiny.

So when are we going to get our hands on the next book in the series?
I’m in the process of releasing a short prequel for Duality while writing the second in the series titled, “Righteous”.

We know about Finding Time; what else have you written?
I recently published a novelette serial series called “My-Sir” with three stories so far – The Contract, Lock and Key, and One Night of Control.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I write with emotion, occasionally a temper, and I let my words flow free. I dabble in paranormal, contemporary romance, erotic fiction and darker urban fantasy. I fly by the crotch of my panties when writing, though I do try to keep a notebook handy for my many scribbled ideas, plot twists, and characters.
