I wrote my first story in the fourth grade in the form of a play which actually was produced by my teacher for parents and students. I continued writing and majored in English in College. I practice every day to improve my craft.
An author of romantic suspense I love reading almost as much as writing. I have filled my book shelves with my favorites, i.e. Harlan Colban, Eliza March, Johanna Lindsey, Kathy Carmichael, Kathleen Woodiwiss, Andrew Gross, Terri Garey, Karen Rose, LuAnn Rice, and Bobbi Smith just to mention a few, as well as all the classics.
I live on a peninsula in the mid west coast of Florida with my husband, two cats, and AJ, my long haired Chihuahua.
I love hearing from readers so please visit my website: www.loreleiconfer.com or blog at www.loreleiconfer.blogspot.com.
In doing research for my first book, Deadly Deception, I learned so much about Human Sex Trafficking and I really wanted to get the message out that this horrific crime is happening in your own backyard. I met with an undercover detective assigned to our local task force for human trafficking and from all the information I gleaned from him and numerous other interviews I have been able to put together realistic stories.
My second book, Deadly Revenge, happens in the North Carolina mountains which is the eighth likely state for human trafficking due to their interstate going north and south and east and west. Who knew?
I’ve just finished my third book in the ‘Deadly’ series, Deadly Deliverance, which is also about human sex trafficking from an investigators point of view. It’s primarily located in the Washington, DC area and is available from Siren Bookstrand Jan 17th, 2012.
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy researching and writing them.

Blurb
Things get personal for Sam Brower, undercover task force detective for human trafficking, when his niece, Autumn, goes missing. To make matters worse, he’s forced to work with his ex-girlfriend, Lisa Conover, former DC cop, when she’s assigned to a cold case involving his long lost brother.
After infiltrating the gang responsible for the multiple abductions, Sam and Lisa try to unravel the stories behind the kidnapping of Autumn and the disappearance of Luke before their cover is blown.
Undercover work doesn’t lend well to trust. Even if they work together like a fine tuned instrument, will Lisa and Sam be able to salvage love after all they’ve been through?
ADULT EXCERPT:
“Sam,
have you really thought this through?” Lisa asked as she pulled her hair away
from her face.
“Of
course I have. Do you think I really want to give up what we’ve just renewed?”
“Whoa,
whoa, whoa, back the truck up,” Lisa said as she pushed away from him, her
hands on his chest. “What do you think has been renewed? Yes, we shared a
couple of ‘hello’ kisses for old time’s sake, but that’s all.”
Sam
turned and moved closer to her. “Let’s take care of that right now. I know I
want more out of our relationship, maybe even something permanent, don’t you?”
He put his hands on her shoulders and attempted to pull her closer. She
resisted.
He
leaned in and kissed her shoulders, moving to her neck. She moved away. He
pulled her closer and continued kissing her long neck, ears, and cheeks, moving
toward her open and groaning mouth. Her hands moved to his elbows and then up
to his shoulders until they were around his neck where she hung on for dear
life.
His
mouth moved to encompass hers, his tongue tangling with hers. He groaned as he
pulled her closer to rub against his erection. He walked her backwards toward
the bed until the back of her legs could go no farther. They slowly tumbled to
the bed without breaking the kiss. He held her in his arms, plundering her mouth.
His hands moved up her side and found her breast. She wiggled. His fingers
found her nipple and gently squeezed until it became erect and hard. He pulled
up her blouse and broke the kiss to take his wet mouth to her breast. He moved
her satin-and-lace bra out of the way and plundered her nipple. She groaned and
arched toward him. His hand pulled up her skirt and reached for her feminine
curls finding soft, satin-and-lace matching panties. He pulled them aside and
reached for her hot wet spot waiting and ready for him.
His
hand slid between her legs and brushed the dewy petals of her damp folds,
sending a zing of electricity through her entire body. Working a finger inside
her, he growled, “Keep going,” with a jerk of his chin at her still hands.
He
worked two fingers into her wet passage and stretched her wide. Her back arched
as delicious tremors and hot shocks of pleasure streaked through her body. His
eyes as deep and dark as night, his gaze caressed her, traveling over her body
to rest where his hand had disappeared between her legs.
Eyes
heavy-lidded, he murmured, “I want to lick you all over like an ice cream
cone.”
His
heated look inflamed her blood, and a film of perspiration covered her skin.
She tried to fill her restricted lungs, but there wasn’t enough air in the
room.
He
moved his fingers inside her. He was huge, jutting past his belly button, a
network of veins distended in stark relief along the length.
He
was stroking himself while he was pleasuring her. He rolled on top of her and,
finding the exact spot, he thrust inside her. She arched her hips toward him,
wanting more, and he thrust deeper. In and out, in and out, their rhythm soon
matched until they both spiraled out of control and into ecstasy.
Sam
moved off her but lay close beside her, wrapping his arms tightly around her.
He didn’t want to let her go.

Thanks for having me Melissa and thanks to Stefani for stopping by.
I too love romantic suspense and many of my own books are mystery/suspense. Your books sound awesome. Definitely going to put them on my TBR list.
Hello Lorelei! I love romantic suspense stories. It might be my favorite romance sub-genre. When researching human sex trafficking what did the agent tell you that was the most interesting or helpful? Congrats on the new release!

Hi! I do like romantic suspense books and I have read some stories featuring human trafficking. It is a very scary thought, but does make for great stories.

KD Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
Stacie: The most interesting thing he told me was that anything, almost anything could be a storyline for this subject. He had just participated in a sting in a large house near my house that was being used as a brothel. Girls were trying to escape and were beaten and raped becasue of their failed attempts. It makes so many story lines come together and I have written a complete series about it and I'm not done yet.
June Thanks for stopping by. I love to read and write romantic suspense and sometime I think I would like to write just some good old sweetheart romance, without the suspense. Wouldn't be much of a book coming from me though.
Hi Lorelei!
Congrats on your latest release! Your ‘Deadly’ series sounds really good... should they be read in order? Romantic suspense is something I don't nearly read enough of, but really enjoy reading it when I do. Thanks for sharing that hot excerpt!
