7/5/2022

0 Comments

 
I am thrilled to be part of the Florence Festival of Books in Florence, Oregon for the second year in a row! I will have copies of four paperbacks: DragonBond and Sanaraheim (the first two books of The Endonshan Chronicles), Treasure Hunted, and From Dust Rising. The festival features many authors and publishers with their books, often with special deals! 

The festival will be September 24th from 10-4 at the Florence Events Center. More information can be found here. I hope to see you there!

From Dust Rising Paperback

6/17/2022

1 Comment

 
My post-apocalyptic novel From Dust Rising is now available as a paperback! It can be found on Amazon here. 

The end of the world was heralded by bombs. Not nukes as most assumed, but chemical bombs that devastated the planet’s surface, leaving behind a slowly dying world with caustic gas constantly rising from the ground and dissipating into the air. Any form of shelter, where the gas can condense into a deadly fog, has become too dangerous to risk. The remaining survivors have adapted to life outdoors, on the move, doing their best to stay alive in a world of murderers, Slavers, and zombie-like Ragers that mindlessly destroy anything and anyone they come across.

Ronan has long survived by keeping to himself, happy to use whatever underhanded tricks he can to get the upper hand of anyone he crosses paths with. But then he finds himself stuck with Lily, a pampered lady who knows nothing of survival. Worse, her particular sensitivity to the gas constantly slows them down. Getting her back to her people means riches beyond his dreams, but it also means traveling a little too close to a deadly gang that’s gunning for Ronan. He'll have to find a way to get her safely home before her ignorance gets them both killed.

Treasure Hunted Paperback

5/20/2022

I am pleased to announce that Treasure Hunted is now available as a paperback! It features a new cover with my original design. You can find it on Amazon here. 

Gina Gale has been obsessed with the long-lost Mevoyan culture for years. She's devoted her life to the study of their culture, their rituals, and the Ruby of Ages, a legendary jewel said to have mystic powers. Amidst the thrill of new ruins discovered in South America, new clues emerge about the Ruby's location, setting her off on a race with her rag-tag group of friends against her fame-hungry rival, Kaufman, and his hired team of experts.

It seems that all her dreams are coming true when she finds herself in the gem's temple, but deadly traps throughout the underground cave system turn that dream into a nightmare. And mysterious disappearances make it clear that their expedition has been infiltrated by a shape-shifting monster she had thought extinct. One of her companions is a killer in disguise. This naive scholar is going to have to do whatever it takes to make it out alive.

This Beautiful Mess

5/12/2022

Hello, friends! Life has gotten a bit messy of late, but I wanted to update you that I have two projects simmering away.

First is reformatting one of my best pieces, Treasure Hunted, so it can be once again available in paperback version! I hope to have that completed within the next month. 

The second project is a new novel set in an alternate universe where people can 'read' the traces of energy left behind by actions. This thriller follows an 'Energy Reader' who is working with the police to track down a serial killer. 
​
I'm very excited by both of these projects, and I hope to share more news of progress soon! Thanks for your patience and support.

New Paperback!

7/17/2021

I am pleased to announce that the second book in The Endonshan Chronicles, Sanaraheim, is now available as a paperback!

On their pilgrimage to Innsbrooke, honorable Elf Mikell’s greatest concerns are shielding his wife Mara from magic and keeping his harrowing memories of the Hranite war buried where they belong. But when the kingdom of Kenara’s beloved Princess Tashan is proclaimed murdered by those same Hranites, Mikell and Mara suddenly find themselves caught up in a political plot that threatens to thrust all of Endonsha into chaos.

Despite all reservations, Mikell finds himself joining the unlikeliest band of “heroes” on a quest to uncover the truth behind Tashan’s death… if she was truly murdered. To his dismay, a magic user named Ari joins their company, threatening to corrupt his innocent wife with her teachings.

Somehow, Mikell must find a way to trust Ari’s help while also keeping her evil magic, and the ghosts of his past, from destroying everything he loves.

You can get it from Amazon here.

I'm also prepared to share what inspired me to get my second book into paperback form. In September, the city of Florence, OR will be hosting the Florence Festival of Books. I'm pleased to announce that I'll be there at a table with two books to purchase!

Hello all! I'm sorry to say my writing work hasn't been very active of late, but I've got a new project on the horizon: my second physical book! I've decided to turn The Endonshan Chronicles Book 2: Sanaraheim into a paperback. This means both book one and two of the series will be available in physical form!

It's a bit of an involved process, so it will take some time. But I will make sure to keep at it and give you updates as I go. Thank you for your patience and your support!
