Past & Present Tense
- Red Lettering
- MM Good Book Reviews: “Many stories that I’ve read with drag queens are all light-hearted romps, but Red Lettering is more heartfelt and serious. Don’t be surprised if you feel the urge to shed a couple of tears!”
- Black Shades
- MM Good Book Reviews: “It was a great story over all. It had me wondering about life. To be hurt and afraid is just not the way to live. Normally I would say I had a blast with the story, but this one did something better. It made me wish.”
Writing as Angela Fiddler
Sex Demon 101
- Care and Feeding of Sex Demons:
- Joyfully Reviewed “Literally written crack cocaine. An off the chart crazy plotline, zany characters, and non- stop action that never ends. This is one wild ride.”
- Elisa – My Reviews and Ramblings “If you are searching for a crazy urban fantasy, with IKEA and McDonalds throw in the middle of it, humor and satire, well, then, this is your book. […] I’m not really a fan of fantasy, or urban fantasy, but I’m a fan of complex characters, and all three of them, Cy, Patrick and August are the best example of multilayered characters.”
- Rainbow Book Reviews “If you like main characters who fight doom on a daily basis, if a secretive mission to save the world as well as their relationship sounds like fun, and if you’re looking for a read that is not realistic but contains great supernatural fun and hot man-on-fae and man-on-sex demon action, then you will probably like this novel. I think it’s a hoot!”
- Cy Gets a Sex Demon:
- Fallen Angel Reviews “The plot is equally as complex as the main character, having many surprising and unexpected twists and turns.”
- Rainbow Book Reviews “If you like larger-than-life main characters of the supernatural persuasion, if a somewhat quirky life-and-death quest for answers and missing people is your thing, and if you’re looking for a read that is as suspenseful and sometimes brutal as it is funny and hot, then you will probably like this novel.”
Stand-Alone Books
- Pulse:
- Rainbow Reviews “A compelling story of men fighting to free themselves from a twisted maniac’s evil designs.”

- Fallen Angel Reviews “Love, betrayal, strong, sexy vampires, I give this book a high five!”
- Lineage:
- MM Good Book Reviews: “It was a treat to re-read this book…, which then had me running to dig up the rest of the series to read. […] So if you love vampires and the touch of something extra, some rough sex and a bit of D/s, a storyline that has some twists and a long reaching arm and vampires who are unforgiving and loyal then I recommend you give this series a try.”
- The Novel Approach “I am a total sucker for a good vampire story. Throw in a little D/s, create a magical force that powers said vampires, add in some political backstabbing with a little retribution, and I might just be happier than a pig in… well, whatever pigs are happy in.”
- Books On Silver Wings “The story keeps me on my toes with shows of Vision’s power in public, his submissive side in private with Hanz, and his past. Vision is a fascinating character and he keeps me turning the pages to figure out who he is. Overall, this story has a good set of intriguing characters in a fascinating world.”
- Two Lips Reviews “Lineage is an intriguing story that will drawn you into the dark world of the vampire and open your eyes to more than just the typical dynamics present in the average vampire story.”
- Literary Nymphs “The erotic interludes are provocative and daring while the overall plot of the story is undeniably gripping with a rough around the edges protagonist.”
