Author Tena Stetler


One of my favorite vacation spots is Monterey Bay, California. My husband and I travel in a 5th wheel trailer and love the Marina Dunes RV Park.  The RV Park is within walking distance to the ocean beach which allows dogs.  That’s a perk, as we travel with a dog who enjoys the coastline, a parrot who loves to watch people and a forty-five year old box turtle who enjoys the sand.

I love to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I can spend a whole day there, sometimes more if time allows. Inside there’s a cafĂ© and outside a deck for watching the marine creatures in the bay. Can’t be beat in my humble opinion.

A few miles down the road on Cannery Row is a fantastic mexican restaurant, El Torito.  It has inside seating along ocean front windows where you can view seals sunning themselves on the rocks, sea birds swooping and diving in the ocean, and kaykas negotiating the shore lines.
Another must see is Cannery Row, the quaint shops, variety of restaurants, and sourdough bread bowls are well worth the visit. Not to mention the clam chowder.


Monterery Bay’s misty atmosphere inspires my creative muse on each visit and we visit often. I’m working on a paranormal romance set in the area.

Excerpt:

He offered his hand to Hannah as she stood, wrapped an arm around her waist and guided her out of the diner. "How about a ride up the coast?"
"Sure as soon as you explain how you held those teens down without touching them." She smiled up at him knowingly.  "And don't give me that crap about telling me or killing me."
A slight grin curved the corners of his mouth. "How about on an as needed basis and you don't need to know?"
A soft laugh bubbled up from her throat. "If I had to guess, I'd say you're a warlock with well-honed powers." She tilted her head up towards his. "Would I be right?"
HIs grin faded replaced with a stormy expression. "Where would you get that absurd idea?  They merely tripped and had trouble getting up. I suggested they stay put until the police showed up.  Simple as that."
"Right.  Well on that note, I'll see myself home." She turned to her car and opened the door.
For a moment, he considered letting her go. Women are more trouble than they’re worth anyway. That's when the meddling voice of Birch wafted through Tristian's mind.  She's moved on, so should you.  Damn faeries anyway. I'm sure he's using some kind of magic to do this to me.
"Okay, you win. But only if you tell me why you are disguising your magic signature." He leaned against the car a smirk on his face.
