Janice Pierce

About the Author

Janice Pierce is the visionary author behind Shadows of The Coven: The Rise of Aphrodite, a provocative journey where ancient mysticism meets the raw edge of modern desire. Known for her fearless exploration of suburban taboos and supernatural power plays, Janice’s work has captivated readers who crave stories where the female lead doesn’t just find herself—she finds her throne.

In 2025, she was honored with a prestigious literary award from Underwood Miller Publishers, a nod to her unique ability to blend high-stakes paranormal world-building with intense, boundary-pushing intimacy.

Ritual of the Veiled Flame

What begins as a sultry exploration of desire between Dani and Janice quickly burns through the boundaries of a simple age-gap romance. As Janice surrenders to her bisexual awakening, she unearths something far more dangerous than passion: a primordial hunger. She is the ``Mother`` of an ancient coven, a living vessel for a power that has waited centuries to be reborn. Now, their private sanctuary is a battlefield, and the prophecy that claims Janice’s body threatens to consume the very heart of the couple she loves.
