Long Awaited Update...

3/29/2021

0 Comments

 
Hello friends! It's been a long time since I've had updates, but life, including adding 3 children to our family through adoption, has made my writing world put on hold. HOWEVER, I  have a few news tid-bits for you. 
  1. Taking a step back and also considering some comments from reviews, I have done some editing on BLOOD OF THE GUARDIAN. The eBook addition is re-released, with some minor plot corrections. So if you have a copy, make sure you update it. If you read via Kindle Unlimited, check it out. 
  2. An audiobook version of LIFE CHARMER is now available! It is so fun! Please, check it out. It is such a fun book to write and now listen to. 
  3. I have released a new early chapter book called KACI LOGAN AND THE DINKY DRAGON. I've had it sitting on my shelf for a while, and I thought I'd give it life for fun! If you have a 1-3rd grader, they might enjoy it. 
  4. I am writing again! Book 3 in the Emissary of Light will be my primary focus. Thank you all for being so patient with me over the years. I can't wait to get back into it again. ​

While you're here, I'd love to share with you my newest release that just came out on June 1st!

LIFE CHARMER: Koda's Quest is a Middle grade fantasy inspired by Native American Mythology. If you like Percy Jackson, you'll appreciate Koda's adventure.

In just a few days, I will be taking part in a huge scavenger hunt sponsored by An Alliance of Young Adult Authors. This is a great way to discover new authors, win some free stuff, and sign up for some really great prizes. Hope you join me on the hunt! 

RULES

The Scavenger Hunt will begin on June 1st!

Each author will be given a special keyword, which will be bolded and all caps like this: BUTTERFLIES.

All you have to do is visit all the author’s sites in order, write down the special keywords to discover the short story, then enter the giveaway with the completed short story HERE.

There will be one main giveaway for the main prize, but most of the participating authors will also have smaller giveaways so make sure you read all their post carefully to see what else they’re offering while you’re on their site for the keyword.

So in publishing news for me.
I'm getting my rights back because of several reasons. I'm publishing it again on my own with a new cover, and a few months after, publishing the next book in the series also on my own. Will keep you all updated on dates and cover reveals when they are ready.
