I love to read! I also have a teenage son who consumes a gallon of milk every other day, and a growing daughter who needs new clothes and shoes on the regular.

I support my book habit by frequenting my local library. Maybe you do, too. All my books are currently available to libraries through Overdrive/Libby (the most popular app), CloudLibrary, BorrowBox, Hoopla, and more. If your local library loans out ebooks, but doesn’t have mine, they’ll have a way to request it.

If your library doesn’t loan ebooks or audiobooks, you may be able to get a library card at a larger library system for a modest fee. Here is a website that lists libraries with non-resident borrowing priveleges.

DISCOVER A MUST-READ EPIC FANTASY SERIES SET IN THE MAGICAL LAND OF THE NETHERWORLDE.

A changeling boy trapped in the mortal world is unaware of a great destiny looming over his head. But the sudden death of his grandmother changes everything . . .

Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Terry Pratchett, Sue Bentley, Impossible Creatures and The Spiderwick Chronicles.

IN THIS FIVE-BOOK BOX SET:

BOOK 1: ISLE OF WINDS
Robin Fellows lives a perfectly ordinary life for a twelve-year-old boy. But when his grandmother suddenly dies, a long-lost relative whisks him away to Erlking Hall, a mysterious estate in the solitary countryside. There he discovers he is a Changeling tied to the magical world of the Fae and the house is a gateway to the Fae’s homeland, the Netherworlde, currently caught in a terrible war. Now Robin must adjust to his strange new reality while protecting himself from a four-thousand-year-old prophecy that will drag him straight into battle.

BOOK 2: THE DROWNED TOMB
Robin awaits further training after his previous tutor Lady Eris was revealed to be an agent of the enemy, Strife. Robin is assigned a new mentor to continue his magical learning — her job is to teach Robin in the art of water magic. But before he can make any progress, he is kidnapped by Strife, who suppresses Robin’s magic, leaving him vulnerable. With no escape in sight, Robin must rely on every ounce of his resilience if he stands any chance of surviving and regaining his power.

BOOK 3: CHAINS OF GAIA
Something dark and dangerous stirs deep in the Netherworlde. A violent, primal power has awoken from its slumber after five hundred years, spreading destruction in its wake and leaving no survivors. Robin may be the only one who can put an end to its bloodshed. He and his friends must navigate the deep secrets of the legendary woods, fighting to save its inhabitants and searching for the source of the monster’s power. Because if the power falls into the wrong hands, it would be catastrophic for both the Fae and human world.

BOOK 4: THE GLASSFIRE SERPENT PART I: EMBERS
When Robin and his fellow Fae, Jackalope, take a trip to London, it triggers a series of events that place them in deadly peril. They uncover many magical items from the Fae world, belonging to a human who shouldn’t have this knowledge. Their journey in the human world only grows more dangerous as the threat of Lady Eris is ever present. And in a world with so many innocents, oblivious to the war raging on around them, Robin must make sure they are not caught in the crossfire.

BOOK 5: THE GLASSFIRE SERPENT PART II: ASHES
The unstoppable forces of Lady Eris are tracking Robin’s every step. He sets out to discover the truth behind the Glassfire Serpent, an ancient machine that holds the power to find his missing friends. But the clock is ticking, and the Glassfire Serpent is the only way they can gain access to their enemy’s city and save his friends before it’s too late. And if Robin hopes to defeat the enemy, he will need to make a choice between his friends and his destiny . . .

For a relic of war, death is my inevitable release.

Most people can’t kill without regret, but I don’t have that luxury. I am a tank-created nu-human, and my sole purpose hinges on the whims of my tyrannical maniac creator. Town annihilations to political assassinations—I never disobey.

Until I want more.

When I escape beyond the realm of my former master, my only goal is safety—freedom—a life I always wanted. I should have known my creator would send deadly pursuers. He wants to remind me of what I’m never fated to have.

Then destiny tempts me with the unexpected.

When a dragon—a creature said to be long extinct—offers me a chance at true freedom from my former master’s control, I don’t know what to believe. In my line of work, trust kills. But something is different about this creature….

With nothing to lose, I agree to his terms. Now, I wait. Will he give me the freedom I crave, or did I seal my fate?

EXPERIMENTAL HEART OMNIBUS 1 is the first three books in the Experimental Heart epic dystopian contemporary fantasy series. If you love strong willed heroines overcoming the torment of their past, fate vs choice, and a dash of slow burn romance, dive into the world of Lumaraeon today!

It’s the year 2125, and the gritty metropolis of Los Angeles is more divided than ever.

South of Sunset, Oleander Briggs exists in a drab reality of the Seventh Industrial Revolution and the demise of social media, where his monotonous life consists of working the factory assembly line for Fleur Industries—a mysterious company that sells flowers preserved in gold. His future, like so many of his generation, is bleak, but Oleander dreams of more.

When he unexpectedly catches the attention of Mr. Fleur—Fleur Industries’ elusive owner—his luck changes as he’s offered a job to work directly with the Fleur family at their palatial estate, North of Sunset. There, he encounters eccentric characters, extravagant wealth, and youthful beauty the likes of which he has never seen. The Fleur family may be his ticket to a better life—but at what cost?

North of Sunset asks how we exist in a world where one is forced to choose between living in luxury or the luxury of living.

5 Stars! “Southern charm, a haunting mystery, and a leading lady I want as my BFF!”

One simple mistake…

When out of work graphic designer Verity Long accidentally traps a ghost on her property, she’s saddled with more than a supernatural sidekick—she gains the ability see spirits. It leads to an offer she can’t refuse from the town’s bad boy, who also happens to be the brother of her ex and the last man she should ever partner with.

Ellis Wydell is in possession of a stunning historic property haunted by some of Sugarland Tennessee’s finest former citizens. Only some of them are growing restless—and destructive. He hires Verity to put an end to the disturbances. But soon, Verity learns there’s more to the mysterious estate than floating specters, secret passageways, and hidden rooms.

There’s a modern day mystery afoot, one that hinges on a decades-old murder. Verity isn’t above questioning the living, or the dead. But can she discover the truth before the killer finds her?

The Celestial Voyager was supposed to be a dream vacation—until a navigational error left the ship stranded in uncharted space. And then the bodies started appearing…

Cut off from Earth with no way home, disgraced fleet Captain Elias Mercer must find a habitable planet before supplies run out. The ship’s AI claims there’s one nearby—but after everything that’s happened, can it be trusted?

Security Chief Lars Dekker is sent to explore, only to uncover something terrifying waiting on the surface.

Meanwhile, Cruise Director Lexi Rourke clashes with the captain as she tries to keep her passengers entertained, and oblivious, for as long as she can.

Among the passengers:

  • Gavin Trent, a desperate family man hiding the collapse of his finances and his marriage.
  • Nico Virelli, a con man on the run looking for his next mark.
  • Zara Quinn, a retired cyborg assassin with unfinished business aboard.

As the grim reality of their situation comes to light, paranoia spreads, giving rise to a chilling theory: what if the ship didn’t get lost by accident? Someone might have planned this… but why? And what were they hoping to find?

Before anyone can begin to answer the question, they discover that someone—or something—on board is killing the passengers.

A chilling sci-fi mystery where paradise turns to panic, and survival means facing the secrets you brought with you.
