About the author

Writing in a variety of genres, Black's character driven stories rarely turn out quite the way the reader would expect. The author combines imagination and experience to weave dramatic plots with believable characters in descriptive settings, whether contemporary or supernatural.
Those familiar with her prose can attest to her fascination with the paranormal. Even when it isn’t the basis of the plot, it is not unusual to find a touch of the supernatural in her books. Occasionally, the reference is so subtle, the reader could miss it.
With a passion for animals, the author includes a four-legged character in most storylines, even if just a cameo appearance. Two of Black’s novels, “Race into Murder” and “Ride into Romance,” draw on her background as a racehorse owner. Her experience at the racetrack supplies realism to the setting, the races and the characters.
Black lives in the United States with her husband, and two alien creatures disguised as cats. While each of the furry critters is unique, one of them is rumored to be ET’s second cousin. The rumor, however, has not been confirmed.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2022The story begins with Ellie backpacking alone through the Adirondack mountains, a twelve-day adventure looked forward to. Using a map to explore 'off the beaten path', she comes upon a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the forest. The spot was pristine and Ellie pitches her tent to savor the beauty and serenity of it all. Soon another backpacker stumbles into her site and tries to befriend the young lady. Ellie wants to be alone and insists that he leaves after eating a meal.
That night, Ellie is awakened by a commotion outside of the tent and thinks it's either a bear or the returning backpacker. When she catches a glimpse of the extremely large shadow in the moonlight, it takes her breath away. Thus begins a friendship that nobody would believe. Danger still lurks in the shadows. Will she and her new friend survive?
I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It flowed well and kept my interest from the very first paragraph until the unexpected ending. ELUSIVE GUARDIANS is well worth the read and recommended for any age group.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2023Elusive Guardians in an intriguing novella. The heroine, Ellie, is solo camping when she encounters both human intruders and the mysterious creatures. The camping action was well written, as from personal experience. I was a bit confused by the author's introduction of a story about werewolves. Ellie's interactions with the Sasquatches were awesome, and likely mimics what many believe about these creatures. One of her human intruders (Noah) changed his opinions, perhaps to befriend our heroine. A good and short read. A few minor typos, but I don't pay much attention to those. This book is worth checking out.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2022This was a great short story about a woman named Ellie who enjoyed hiking and camping by herself. During this particular hike, she comes across both welcome and unwelcomed intruders. Ellie's life is put in danger a few times, and she has to decide who can and cannot be trusted.
I enjoyed the characters in this story. The author kept the plot moving nicely with just the right amount of danger and calm moments. I also loved the underlying message about caring about the forest and those within it. There were a few typos, but it didn't prevent me from enjoying the story. It's quite possible I had an earlier version and they have already been corrected.
If you are looking for a great story about Bigfoot, then I definitely recommend this one. :-)
