Alright guys, I know I've been talking about Theirs (The sequel to Mine) for awhile some time now, but I am finally ready to show you the cover! So... the wait will soon be over! I know... not yet BUT this gives you time to finish reading, re-read, or first time read Mine before the cover drops! But... Come back on November 7th at 12:00pm EST for the cover drop!! See you all then!

Welcome to another post about meeting the characters! This week we have our other main character from Double-Edge War, Kaelin. Kaelin is a human that lives on the border of Sidrea. He is picked to come over to the vampire school as part of their Co-Existence program. Showing that humans and vampires alike can live together without issue. (Because a sweet, innocent, drama free experience is what you are all expecting when you pick up Double-Edged War, huh?) Kaelin is fiercely

Hello!! It's spooky season and a lot of my books are just that - spooky! (Well Dark fantasy but still). I have two events coming up this month that just rolls in the spookiness that is Dark fantasy! One in person and one on-line! Check them out and pick up some books for the season. The first is next weekend in person - The next is online - Come check out one, or the other! And enjoy some spooktastic reads!

If you remember in an earlier blog I mentioned a book called Six of Crows. Many years after the release of that book the author, Leigh Bardugo, wrote a passion book of hers. Something completely different from her popular Young Adult series. This book, Ninth House, was her first adult novel. It's themes were different from those of her young adult stuff and when it was first announced, people were unsure of what to expect. Being a huge fan of the author, and enjoying a large

Fall is just around the corner! I know it seems like just yesterday it was summer, but here we are at the end of September. This time of year my in person events slow BUT I have two coming up and one I am keeping an eye out for that I love doing. First you can come see me at the Spookastic Haunted Book Fair on Saturday October 17 from 12pm till 3pm. We will be located at the Creative Cafe (3318 Corunna Rd. Flint, MI 48503). Check out some amazing authors! More information can

Hello! As the event season begins to slow, I have a couple more events planned for the year (I'll talk about those next blog) - but with that comes a few new extras that I will have available for those events! First, I will have two new custom stickers of Mina and Callie from the book Mine. These lovely stickers were made by Wallflower Designs. I will also have a selection of new bookmarks! Designed by Crescent Creations. These bookmarks are dark fantasy themed! She made me s

Hello! I hope you are all doing well! As summer is wrapping up, which seems so fast, and fall is fast approaching I want to update everyone on my life. First, I have to start out by saying I am not someone who can just sit around and do nothing. My ADHD doesn't allow for me to stop... doing something. LOL. So typically that means my life is fairly busy. But as fall sets in my life has become a little more crazy than normal. My schedule normally involves my full time job and m

On September 2, 2027 Senator Therner poses a way to save the United States from financial ruin (sorry guys, we wrote this back in 2014... and... are aware this hits close to home now). And on December 1, 2029 his plan goes into effect. The United States posts the state of Alaska up for sale. On March 10, 2030 Alaska is sold to Canada and becomes Canadian property. Then the state of Hawaii goes up for sale and on September 8, 2032 Japan purchases it. On December 5, 2033 the st

Trauma affects millions of people worldwide, yet many do not fully understand the different forms of trauma or the influence it can have on a person's life. Trauma is not a one-size-fits-all experience; it varies widely depending on the event, the individual, and the context. Recognizing the types of trauma helps in identifying the right support to give, and the effects that trauma can have on someone. In this blog we are going to go over the main types of trauma and how they

With summer nearly over and the fall activities of school and extra curricular activities in our future, it's important that I finish up my current summer reads. So, what am I currently readings? Well, this summer I shifted gears and read mostly ARCs for other people. I don't do this often, as there is commonly a deadline and I don't always have time to read as I'd like, but I have seen a few and I wanted a chance to get some reading in and help other authors. So far, I've re

Hello! Welcome back for some more photos from the characters of Where Will You Go. Below you will find some more fan art from the upcoming book! Pictures of: Angel Pictures of Bliss: Pictures of Kadin: Pictures of Vincent:

Meet Endymion Ilan Amor. Prince of Sidrea. He is fifth in line, behind the Current King, his three cousins, and his father for the throne. He enjoys music, not that he'd admit it right away, and likes cars. Though he loves his cousin, heir to the throne, Aldis, Endymion wants to be away from the Kingdom of Sidrea. Endymion lost his mother at an early age and at that time, his father threw himself into his work and was often gone, leaving Endymion to be raised by his Uncle, th

If you remember last weekend I discussed our outdoor event (from the pervious weekend) that ended in a loss of product. (The risks of outdoor events). Because of that I was unsure about attending the next event (last weekend). Yes, it was indoors, but I didn't have a ton of product and there would be no time to have more shipped in time. But, I told them I was going to be there, so I was going. Last weekend's event was an Adult Book Faire (Fantasy Edition) that took place in

Last weekend I set up my canopy in Lapeer for the M-24 garage sale. We (my two fellow authors and I) were in a prime spot right off the road easy to spot! Foot traffic was wonderful! Like any outdoor event, we were monitoring the weather. It was mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain in the early afternoon. As the early afternoon rolled in, we checked updated weather often. Still only a 15% chance of light rain. On either side of our canopies there were other people who w

If you've been here for awhile then you remember when I was in high school I made a website called CALNVAK. The L in CALNVAK stood for L. J. Smith. Many of you probably know her for her series, The Vampire Diaries. Though I enjoyed the books (and the first season of the TV series) it wasn't my favorite series by her. Her first two books - The Wildworld Series was a good series, though not my favorite. The next series - The Vampire Diaries was the set that sparked a TV series,

The goal for this year was to publish two novels, Theirs and Where Will You Go. At this moment I am still working on both, but I have hit a bit of a dry spell and thus... haven't really been writing. I am doing edits and updates for a special edition but nothing new has been written in sometime (at least nothing more than a paragraph or two). So sadly... it's a possibility that only one, or neither, of them will be out this year. With that said, I am still aiming to get one i

Happy Fourth of July! For my American readers this is a day of American independence and freedom. If you are familiar with the series though, you'd be aware that independence and freedom aren't always available. Because of this in the series Ruins of War. Fourth of July isn't celebrated the same as it is today. Even in the human states. Fireworks cost more than most can afford. The other states owned by the supernaturals celebrate their own holidays of freedom and independenc

If you read the first installment of this you may know a little more about me, but here are ten more things you (maybe) didn't know about me. Ten: I played volleyball in high school. I wasn't a very sporty person, but my friend joined volleyball and I liked the game well enough so I joined as well. I was part of the team for... maybe a month, not even a full season. I didn't like the game when it was higher stakes. Nine: I was in a play in high school. I loved theater and my

So a long time ago, I started a series called Secrets of Darkness. As the stories and world grew I began plotting out a sub-set of stories which I titled Before the Darkness. Many years later, I wrote a set of stories that took place in the future in the same world in which I named Ruins of War. From there another set of novels taking place even further from then took shape which I named Slaves of Peace. Because the world became so big I had to make a few timelines to keep im

Hello! It's that time of year again when the in person signing events begin to increase!
