Jaye Roycraft, wasn’t sure what she wanted to be when she grew up. A teacher? Not for long. A salesclerk? Not again! A computer systems analyst? Better! But that career, as good as it was, was a victim of a mid-life crisis. The answer? Start two new careers after the age of forty. Jaye became a big-city police officer at forty-one, shocking friends and family. But as challenging as that job was, something was missing in her life. Throughout her various careers, one thing remained a constant - Jaye’s love of books. Classics, mysteries, non-fiction- all had their time. Two genres stood out, though, science fiction and romance. When Jaye started her writing career, it seemed natural to combine her two favorites and write a futuristic romance. The result was Rainscape, her debut novel. Her first contemporary vampire romance, Double Image, is due out in July. Jaye is also the author of a romantic suspense, Aces, and has additional works in progress. So far, all Jaye’s novels have cops or ex-cops as heroes or heroines. As satisfying as writing has become, she can’t forget about her other career. Jaye belongs to RWA and WisRWA. She is still a police officer, and lives in Wisconsin with her two dogs and two cats, half of which were rescued on the Job. PNR:
You have said
your two favorite genres are science fiction and romance which you
combine in your writing. Your "IMAGE" series is contemporary
vampire romances where RAINSCAPE was futuristic suspense. Is either
easier or more captivating to you? Do you prefer "building a
world" to using the contemporary world for your stories? PNR:
In DOUBLE
IMAGE you introduced Alex whose story is told in AFTERIMAGE. Do you
plan on other stories for this series? If so, do we know the hero/heroine?

Books SHADOW IMAGE - Welcome to the idyllic lakefront town of Shadow Bay, where expectation and reality are shores apart. A young woman comes to escape the pressures of the big city, and a very old creature comes to ease himself back into the world of the living…and neither finds what they imagined they would. Shelby Cort has had enough of working for a big-city police department. Ricard De Chaux, the notorious le docteur la mort and ex-Paramount for the Undead in France, has been escaping for years and now reluctantly works his way back into human society. They meet in the small town of Shadow Bay, Michigan—Shelby as Sheriff and Ric as the new county medical examiner. When dead bodies start to pop up in unlikely places and the killings go unsolved, Shelby comes under attack from town officials, the media, and her own co-workers. She finds an ally in the new ME, both grateful for his support and drawn by his exotic good looks. But what Shelby doesn’t know is that the killer isn’t human. What she also doesn’t know is that the cool, collected Dr. De Chaux is by night Doctor Death, the new Overlord of the local Undead, whose top priority is to protect his new charges. Doctor Death hides one piece of evidence after another from the Sheriff, as all the while Ric fills Shelby’s off-duty time with longing and passion. When the killer goes after Shelby and all Ric’s secrets are on the line, where will his allegiance fall?
