A warm welcome to Haley Whitehall while we celebrate the release of her newest book. I’d like to thank Diane for inviting me on her blog to celebrate my new release. Today is my book birthday for Alpha’s Voodoo. It is my first historical paranormal romance. Those of you who have read my historical romances before will not be surprised this one is interracial and takes place primarily on a steamboat. Hey, I like the water, especially in the summer.
