Prophecy
September 6, 2014 By
Alyssa never could have imagined that her first accomplishment after high school in a small Mississippi town would be traveling to a land she’d never heard of and ascending to its throne as the new Elf Queen. But when her long-lost father, the Elf King, comes back for his daughter, that is exactly the future that he brings.
With the help of her cousin, her father, and others, Alyssa carefully finds her way as an outsider through the intricacies of elf society. Along the way she meets fairies, unicorns, and other beasts that she’d grown up believing were only to be found in myths. At the same time, Alyssa encounters a mysterious cult whose entire purpose seems to be the prevention, by any means necessary, of her taking the throne. After an arrow that misses its mark and a message written in blood fail to warn her away, Alyssa finds herself in a fight for her own life and for those of her companions.
That magic exists in the realm of the elves is obvious to Alyssa from the beginning. Its use, though, is forbidden by centuries of elf tradition. When the Cult of the Wyrm finally makes its move, Alyssa must decide whether to risk banishment from her own birthright in order to wield the destructive forces as a weapon against those who would see her dead.
Join Alyssa as the sassy Southern girl enters the land of her father’s birth and deals with a stern priesthood, a stuck-up royal trio, and, of all things, a crush, as she comes of age in Kiirajanna.
The Villain’s Sidekick
September 5, 2014 By
In celebration of the first anniversary of its publication, “The Villain’s Sidekick” will be free for the taking for all Kindle and Kindle app users for five fabulous fun-filled days and nights starting on Friday September 5.
The story of a supervillain’s henchman with a machine-gun arm, a steel jaw, an estranged six-year-old daughter, an angry ex-wife, an addiction problem and a troubled conscience, The Villain’s Sidekick has been favorably compared to the works of Terry Pratchett and occupies the same psychic space as books like “Soon I Will Be Invincible,” “Confessions of a D-List Supervillain” and “Prepare to Die.” It’s funny, violent, introspective, dark, ridiculous and fun.
And the price is right.
