Welcome to StacyMcKitrick.com!
Hi! I’m Stacy McKitrick (seen here with my Dad).
I write paranormal romances. I love love stories and characters that stay with you. These are the manuscripts I've written so far (in the order they should be read – not in the order they were written):
1) MY SUNNY VAMPIRE – Paranormal Romance (Vampire) at 98,000 words
When Committee Member Jack VanAllen wakes up in a snow bank with no recollection of how he got there, he's a little concerned. Vampires don't black out and they don't forget anything. When he discovers the woman who resembles his late wife buried beside him in the midst of turning, he's outraged. Unauthorized turnings are punishable by death.
Sunshine Petersen's New Year's resolution did not include immortality, but that's what she gets whether she likes it or not. She could come to love her new life if it included Jack – just being near him gives her the hots – but he keeps pushing her away. If only she hadn't accused him of turning her. It was an honest mistake. How was she supposed to know the difference between a bite for feeding and a bite for turning? Unfortunately, she doesn't remember who turned her.
While Jack is almost certain he didn't turn Sunshine, his lack of memory, her resemblance to his late wife, and his growing attraction to her isn't helping his case any. Could he have turned her in a fit of passion or is someone setting him up? Should he do the honorable thing and surrender to the Committee, hoping for leniency, or take Sunshine and run, ensuring the death penalty if he's caught?
2) THE UNCOMMON ONE – Paranormal Romance (Vampire) at 114,000 words
John Pennington may be ready to face the real world again, but dating isn’t in the plan. A vampire for fifty years, living as a hermit became tedious. So he moves into the city and buys a sports bar. Blending in is easier than he thinks until he discovers Sarah Daugherty.
She awakens desires in him he thought were long dead. However, unlike other mortals, her thoughts cannot be read nor her mind manipulated. How can he date and keep his identity a secret when all his body wants to do is betray him? Normal people eat. Normal people go out in the sun. Normal people can’t throw her ex-husband across the room without breaking a sweat. With her around, he’s afraid of losing control and being discovered. But as he comes to know her, he realizes some risks are worth taking when you’re with the one you love.
Just when John thinks his world is improving, someone is out to destroy it. Sarah’s life is in danger. He can’t lose the only woman who has ever mattered to him, but how can he keep her safe without committing her to a world of darkness?
FYI – If you're interested in John's back story, read my short story, "Forever Thirty-Two".
3) GHOSTLY LIAISON – Paranormal Romance (Ghost) with a goal of 90,000 words (WIP)
Bridget Quigley only wants to live her life alone, it's what she deserves. So when she gets the opportunity to move out of her parent's home to house sit, she can't pack fast enough. It would be nicer if she didn't have the hots for the owner, Rob Gentry, but who would be interested in someone who's one step away from the loonie bin? Because that's where people go who hallucinate, right?
Charlene "Charlie" Gentry was killed, but her brother, Rob, thinks she committed suicide. Now she's a ghost with no way to communicate the truth until Bridget comes into her life, er…death. Charlie is sure Bridget is the key to the great beyond. She only has to get Bridget to believe.
4) SARAH'S TURN – Paranormal Romance (Vampire) at 90,000 words
This is the sequel to THE UNCOMMON ONE, the continuing saga of John and Sarah. If I said anymore, it would give away the first book, and I don't want to do that.
Writing has become a passion of mine and I truly believe I'll be published one day – only because I don't intend to give up until I am. In the meantime, I'll keep writing, making this list grow and grow and grow.
