Although her books are all about the paranormal, she also makes them seem so... normal. As if these could be the people next door, except they're out battling demons when you're not looking.
Today she's talking about why she likes to write about paranormal creatures, living amongst us as everyday folk.
Angels, Demons, Witches, and Vampires Oh My!
I’ve been asked several times why I write about engaging Demons and enticing Witches with a vampire and angel thrown in for good measure. LOL The answer is easy: an escape. An escape for me in writing the books — and escape for readers into a romantic fantasy adventure with a touch of mystery. That’s what it’s all about.My new release, AN ANGEL’S UNINTENTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT is the fourth book in the awarding winning A Demon’s Witch Series. Where warrior angel Caden goes, trouble follows until he discovers a badly beaten woman barely clinging to life. Unprepared for the entanglement she brings to his doorstep, will he move heaven and earth to save her?
The first book in the series, A Demon’s Witch, was born in a hair salon. I was talking to my hair dresser about the interesting things she hears and sees in the salon. My imagination took off, what if the owner/hairdresser was a Demon Overlord? What if his multi-species salon was located in Washington D.C.? Think of the possibilities—And I did. This book also has a sassy witch to stir things up. A Warlock’s Secrets and A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance round out the series.
In A Witch’s Journey and its sequel A Witch’s Holiday Wedding, the witch in the title is a certified wildlife rehabilitator. After being outed as a witch in Salem, Massachusetts, she is driven from the work she loves at a wildlife sanctuary. After inheriting the enchanted McKay property, she builds a wildlife rescue and rehab center with the assistance of a hunky ex-Navy SEAL.
I try to make my characters as far from the stereotypical witch, demon, vampire, angel, faerie etc., as possible. The magic is always fun but the different careers, adventure, travel and complex personalities are what make my books intriguing—I believe.
Want to be whisked away from your ordinary world? Pick up any of my books. I guarantee a romantic fantasy adventure you’ll never forget

About the Author:
Tena Stetler is a best-selling author of award winning paranormal romance novels. She has an over-active imagination, which led to writing her first vampire romance as a tween to the chagrin of her mother and delight of her friends. After many years as a paralegal, then an IT Manager, she decided to live out her dream of pursuing a publishing career.
With the Rocky Mountains outside her window, she sits at her computer surrounded by a wide array of witches, shapeshifters, demons, faeries, and gryphons, with a Navy SEAL or two mixed in telling their tales. Her books tell stories of magical kick-ass women and mystical alpha males that dare to love them. Well, okay there are a few companion animals to round out the tales. Travel, adventure and a bit of mystery flourish in her books.
Colorado is home; shared with her husband of many moons, a brilliant Chow Chow, a spoiled parrot and a forty-five-year-old box turtle. When she’s not writing, her time is spent kayaking, camping, hiking, biking or just relaxing in the great Colorado outdoors. During the winter you can find her curled up in front of a crackling fire with a good book, a mug of hot chocolate and a big bowl of popcorn.
She loves to visit with readers, authors and people of all kinds. Catch her at:
