HIT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES:The Beautiful spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and The Damned hit at #5 its first week on sale with preorders that eclipsed preorders for The Beautiful.

She continues to be a great partner and asset in the marketing and selling of her books.

VAMPIRES ARE BACK!: With the success of Stephanie Myer's latest Twilight book and Sarah J. Maas's Crescent City series, it's clear readers are ravenous for vampires and all things paranormal. With Renee's fresh storylines, female leads, lush writing, atmospheric world-building, and steamy romances, she is poised to add new fans to her already solid and growing fan base.

FAN FAVORITE POV: The Righteous strongly features fan favorites Pippa and Arjun and their growing connection. Readers will be positively ecstatic to spend more time with these two beloved and highly requested characters.
