It’s funny, I don’t even want to go into this topic, because I’m so over it. Which is great. I was stuck here for a time as an early days indie. But no more! It has been years since I stewed over the progress or success of another writer. I feel much better for the […]

Water Rites: Chapter 3
Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Kobo / Barnes and Noble / iBooks Chapter 3 Lorelei thrashed awake in the deep of night, her sheets tangled around her sweaty limbs, despite the January chill. The dream stayed with her. The lulling rock of the sea, a seal bobbing its head at her before it dove, a sparkling fish flipping out […]
Water Rites: Chapter 2
Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Kobo / Barnes and Noble / iBooks Chapter 2 At ten to eight, Lorelei answered the door, flustered. It was the pizza guy. “Hello, Lorelei,” Dean said. He was a couple of years older than her, and Lorelei suddenly felt self-conscious. She’d seen him a bunch of times at the pizza place, since Haeley’s […]
Water Rites: Prologue & Chapter 1
Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Kobo / Barnes and Noble / iBooks Prologue The waves sparkled as Lorelei’s head broke the surface of the bay, the droplets in her eyelashes twinkling in the soon-to-set sunlight.

Chaos Calling: Chapter 3

Chaos Calling: Chapter 2
Amazon US / Amazon UK / Nook / iBooks / Kobo Chapter 2 My black leggings and navy blue skirt, paired with my black thigh-length trench, relegated my form to another shadow as I passed through the Lady’s Realm. It was dangerous, using her portals this way. I counted on the fact I was unlikely […]

Amazon US / Amazon UK / Nook / iBooks / Kobo Chapter 1 As soon as my feet touched the cliff top at Cape Foulweather, I whirled to face Wren, grabbing her arm to still her forward motion. “You acted like a child back there. It’s always the same with you. I’m sick of it!” […]
Queen Witch: Chapter 3
Amazon US / Amazon UK / Nook / iBooks / Kobo Chapter 3 “I don’t know what to think,” Aunt Hope’s voice sounded muffled. I saw the wobbling stack of clothes she was about to put in a suitcase just before I ducked back into the hall. She sounded serious, and I wanted to hear […]
Queen Witch: Chapter 2
Amazon US / Amazon UK / Nook / iBooks / Kobo Chapter 2 The next morning I woke up in a snit, and the day just got worse from there. Over breakfast, Aunt Ivy told us the Lady would see us in the afternoon. That cut short my plans for a solitary hike after lessons, […]
Queen Witch: Chapter 1
Amazon US / Amazon UK / Nook / iBooks / Kobo Chapter 1 “Wren, take it easy!” I shouted to my sister over the howling winds that whipped along the rock-studded beach and stirred the crashing waves into froth. Instead, my twin threw all of her power against me, knocking aside the rock I’d held […]
