NEW RELEASE


​Drawing the Scarlet Queen to central New York’s training grounds, Ria’s remarkable blood triggers negotiations between two kingdoms.

Ria questions her own humanity when she finds herself aligned with Phea, the vampire queen—a woman who’s tortured her and her friends for months.

As all of her secrets unravel around her, Ria is forced to conform or sacrifice the people she loves.

If she doesn’t find a way to break their alliance, the balance of the universe will plunge deeper into chaos, and no one will be safe.
​
With a sprinkling of Twilight, a bite of Anita Blake, and a smattering of satirical Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you won't want to miss this dark and witty vampire series.

​FEATURED STORY - "Tatiana's Diary"

Broken World's resident renegade vampire was born under interesting circumstances.

Her mother, Tatiana, records her journey through being pregnant with an enigma and the battle with her own health.

Is she crazy for believing that this random man who swung into her life is a mythological bird of fire? That her baby is half-phoenix? That her new friend is a vampire?

She must be, but for some reason, Tatiana does, and more terrifyingly, her intuition says this pregnancy will kill her.

How much can she do to ensure her baby will survive without either of her parents?

Get to know Tatiana in my new story, "Tatiana's Diary" in the ON TIME anthology.

AT A LOSS: WHY WE'RE LOSING OUR EMPATHY

"Part of me wishes I could say that real people don’t absorb the sins of others, that they’re not outlets for the violent expression of guilt, shame, and regret, but I can’t. However, I will save you the rant that I could likely craft on that thread. And, well, “The Glittering Pearls” shows enough of that to get the point across. Instead, I want to talk about a type of sin-eater that we’re all far more familiar with."
