Annie Rayburn

Carol Burnside is an award-winning author traditionally published in short stories. Five of her novel length manuscripts have placed in numerous RWA chapter contests and won five, including the prestigious Maggie Award for Excellence. Her personal second-chance-at-love story resulted in a marriage to her high school sweetheart of thirty-plus years. They reside in northern Arkansas, where Carol enjoys the Ozark foothills from her office windows and drinks sweet iced tea year round.

Writing as Annie Rayburn, she produces speculative fiction, erotic romances. Imagine our world today with a humanoid race very much like us (Crainesians) living peacefully among us here on Earth and searching for their life-mate. They have the ability to communicate telepathically, can project visions and share dreams. Can you imagine? Not just phone sex, but dream sex? That's why they're also labeled soft sci-fi and lite paranormal. Talk about cross-genre sizzle!

While Carol/Annie enjoys the adoration she receives from her furbabies, what she really loves is hearing from her readers.

• The Seduction of Gabriel Stewart on May 09, 2011
  
  A few minor nits here and there in the text, but well written. Lots of sexual tension and emotion in this one. My biggest criticism: It should be priced.
  
• Forever Love on June 08, 2011
  (no rating)
  A black "demon" cat (or is he?), a native American shaman of indeterminate age, a beloved grandmother, a nurse, a doctor: these are the motley collection of interesting characters you'll find in Forever Love. It's story of love that transcends time in interesting and unusual ways.
  
• Seducing the Huntress, A Vampire Romantic Suspense Novella on July 09, 2011
  
  Not my usual cup of tea, but I really enjoyed this story by Ms. Spear. Seducing the Huntress was an interesting read and a sexy romance with characters I could identify with. Nicely done.

  Some reviewers penalize an e-book for length, but I don't do that. For what this is - a short story - I thought it was well done. On Amazon it's listed as a 'cute meet' which is appropriate. Sometimes I just need a quick reading fix and this story worked for me. I liked the characters and the glimpse into their beginning. I would read more from this author.
