About Me

My vampire novel, Healing Wounds , can be had at Amazon.com . Enjoy sexy vampires. Coming soon to brick and mortar bookstores near you.
"Refreshing and unforgettable. This is an exceptional re-telling of the vampire tale with a contemporary spin...I would recommend this book to any fans of gothic or horror as well as romance just make sure you leave the lights on when you go to sleep at night." - Simply Romance .
"Healing Wounds has become one of my favorite books...." - Literary Nymphs Reviews .
"Frightening...The idea of an ex-vampire/ghost helping the heroine from beyond the grave adds wonderful punch to this gruesome tale of vampires and their victims." - Romantic Times BOOKreviews .
Uncover darker realms of romance, filled with mouthwatering vampires, tempting Elves, and delightful shivers. My wounded characters struggle to fill needs that torture all of us. Let them draw you into their charged journeys.
The third of the New Pangaea series, Quest into the forbidden , is now available! (This series can be read in any order.) Follow the adventures of a human king who's lured away from his quest by an elven princess. She just wants one night. Any more could get them both killed.
"...Possibly the best so far....QUEST INTO THE FORBIDDEN is a well-plotted and well written with hidden depths that are extremely engaging. As I read each book in this bright new world I have become more and more convinced of Ms. Gilfoy's brilliance as a writer and in me she has found a dedicated fan." - Romance Junkies .
Guardian of the Onyx Empire , the second of my New Pangaea series is also available at EllorasCave.com . Enjoy the tale of an elven empress fleeing from wizards and into the arms of an unlikely hero. Alexander, an ex-love-slave shouldn't take the young empress to his bed, but he can teach her so much.
"I liked this one even more than the first. The world of New Pangaea is a sensual place that has so many twists and turns you don’t know where you will end up next. Each of the books can stand-alone, but once you get one taste of the world you will definitely want to go back to the same fantasyland again." - Night Owl Romance .
Masquerade of the Cursed King , the first of the New Pangaea series, garnered excellent reviews and is also available at Ellora's Cave .
"...Reminiscent of Greek and Roman tragedies..." - Jenn L of Romance Junkies.
"Four stars." - Romantic Times BOOKreviews .
"Fans of fantasy and romantica will not want to miss this one." - Anne Boling of ReviewYourBook.com.
"I encourage you to pick this book up, as it will leave you satisfied and looking for more books set in New Pangaea. Ms. Gilfoy spun a tale of fantastic imagery, deep characters and a world that you will want to visit time and time again." - Tammie King of Night Owl Romance.
