On the floating island of Volturnus, sixteen-year-old Effie Strait aches for a freedom she may never claim. In a world ruled by the enigmatic Celestials, only the Gifted can ascend to the skies as True Pilots, forging bonds with the mighty Leviathans. Effie’s older sister, Vanna, is the pride of Volturnus—a fearless dragoon and newly minted lieutenant—yet it is Effie who burns with ambition, even as her own Gift remains stubbornly absent.
When Effie’s closest friend, Kai, suddenly manifests his powers and is swept into Vanna’s orbit, Effie’s longing curdles into desperation. Her quest for recognition draws her into the dangerous intrigues of the island’s Patrician elite and the forbidden rituals of the wild jungle, where mortal ambition demands a price in blood.
Meanwhile, Vanna is thrust into a rebellion that exposes the Celestials’ true designs, forcing her to choose between loyalty and justice. As the sisters’ paths diverge—one chasing power at any cost, the other risking everything to protect her home—their bond is tested by betrayal, sacrifice, and the shadow of a coming war. In a sky fractured by rebellion and inequality, how far will ambition carry a girl who refuses to be left behind?

Another Notch in the Beltway
Historical romance writer, Lenore Held, AKA, LaSandra Lacy, feeling the need to step into the present century, both personally and professionally, has agreed to co-author a steamy contemporary romance with male author, MP Finnegan.
As sparks begin to fly, on and off the written page, the world around them turns into utter chaos.
Her son’s father, Senator Byron Maxwell, makes an appearance in her life after an almost 22-year absence.
Theirs was the proverbial bad clique of a Washington romance: the gentrified, conservative, womanizing statesman and the beautiful, brilliant but naive, starry eyed intern, who had the bad taste to become pregnant with his child. He pretended they didn’t exist, until now. Now he wants something from her, something that isn’t hers to give.
Add to that a media play gone horribly wrong, a stalker, home invasion, and unhinged family members of the senator’s and Lenore and MP’s life together begins to resemble a book plot. Unlike a book, the turmoil that surrounds them is real and deadly. $2.99 on Kindle.

The deadliest threat in California doesn’t come with a warning—it slips into your system, rewires your mind, and turns you into a killer with a smile.
When a banker opens fire at Folsom Flea Market, Detective Kat Hastings catches the case—but takes three bullets before she can stop the carnage. Now she’s in the ICU, the victim of a drugged-up killer.
That night, during a gig, Sonny Marshall watches helplessly as his band’s guitarist collapses mid-set, brought down by a drug no one can identify, his body locked in euphoric paralysis. The incident rattles Sonny, but the news about Kat hits harder. When he learns she was among the victims, he drops everything to be at her side.
Kat is more than a casualty—she’s the woman he loves, and the one person still holding him to the right side of the line.
As he begins to connect the dots, a chilling truth emerges: two designer drugs, no less deadly, created by the same phantom chemist.
Sonny isn’t a cop. He’s a blues saxophonist with a bad knee, a worse Oxy habit, and a white knight complex he can’t shake. With Kat recovering and chaos spreading, he steps outside the law—guided by a code the courts don’t recognize and a team that doesn’t ask for forgiveness.
As Sonny teeters on the edge, one question haunts him: How do you stop a killer no one can see—without becoming something you don’t recognize yourself? $0.99 on Kindle.
Free: Church Hurt Healed: From Pain to God’s Promises
The pain of church hurt is different.It is not just an offense. It is a wound that can shake your trust, damage your faith and distort your view of God. Church Hurt Healed was written for the believer who is tired of carrying the weight in silence and is ready to heal, rebuild, and move forward.
Lois White defines church hurt plainly: when a visitor, member, volunteer, employee, or leader is wounded by someone in the church through disrespect, verbal attacks, slander, ostracism, manipulation, exploitation, or even physical abuse. Left unresolved, it can damage relationships and hinder a person’s spiritual growth and destiny.
This is not a book of shallow encouragement. It is a healing roadmap rooted in Scripture and spiritual wisdom, including a clear process for recovery that centers on your relationship with God, forgiveness, identity in Christ and prayer.
Inside you will learn how to:
Recognize church hurt and identify toxic church culture patterns
Heal through ten practical steps
Seek godly counsel and understand the role of deliverance when oppression and fear persist
Make a wise decision about staying or leaving
Reject the temptation to give up on church
Step into what is on the other side: renewed strength, deeper faith, and a wider calling to help others heal.
You will also find prayers and Scriptures for healing, intercession, and restoration, including prayers for those who are saved, those returning to faith, and those standing in the gap for the Body of Christ.
If you have been wounded in what should have been a sacred space, this book will help you separate God from people, recover your peace, and walk back into a faith that is steady, protected, and very much alive. Free on Kindle.

That Feeling
I’ve broken wild horses that were easier to tame than Brooklyn Dyer.
The moment she conquered my mechanical bull in those tight jeans and that ridiculous tourist cowboy hat, I knew she was trouble.
The kind of trouble you spend all night praying never ends and a decade trying to forget.
But Monday morning brings a punch to the gut I never saw coming—she’s sitting across from me at our family brewery’s board meeting. Not just as some new hire, but as our social media director with plans to make me the damn poster boy for Slade Brewing.
I’ve spent 37 years mastering this ranch and my emotions—I don’t need some city girl with marketing schemes and dangerous curves dismantling both. Yet here I am, shirtless on my horse while she snaps photos, thinking about how badly I want to bend her over my saddle.??
I told myself not to give in, but those full hips and that attitude of hers make me want to misbehave.?
She’s a defiant little thing that needs to learn a lesson about teasing a man like me.??She’s one of those girls alright—Mysterious, driven, all kinds of sexy.
Just when I let my guard down, her ex appears with a ring, I discover she’s carrying my child, and a bullet meant for someone else nearly ends it all.
They say a cowboy’s greatest strength is knowing when to hold on tight and when to let go.
But with Brooklyn, I’m beginning to think some feelings are worth fighting for—even if it might destroy us both. $0.99 on Kindle.
Vice & Virtue
Some secrets are buried so deep, it takes a skeleton to unearth them.
When a construction crew demolishing an old warehouse uncovers human remains hidden beneath the floorboards, Detective Sergeant Ben Winters knows someone went to great lengths to make sure those bones were never found. Before he can learn whose skeleton it is, Parker City is rocked by something far more urgent — a cop killer is on the loose. Three officers gunned down in cold blood, and Winters and his partner Detective Tommy Mason have nothing but dead ends.
But the dead have a way of talking.
As the investigation deepens, a chilling truth emerges. The bones beneath the warehouse and the bullets tearing through the city’s finest may be separated by twenty-five years, but they share the same dark origin — a story rooted in the glittering backroom corruption of 1950s small-town America, where one incorruptible police officer got too close to the truth and paid for it with his life.
Someone has spent a quarter century making sure that story stayed buried. Now that it’s coming to light, they’ll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. $2.99 on Kindle.
