On the first day of high school, Sheyanne Anderson (aka Shy) expects to see all of her old friends. But never does she imagine meeting him, Lanny Romero, let alone, becoming fast friends.

As their friendship blossoms into first love, Lanny draws Shy into an enchanting world of Native American ways that include spirit animal guides and respect for Mother Earth. They also must learn to respect each other’s values and boundaries as they navigate their ever-deepening romantic relationship.

In time, their bond grows stronger in spite of challenges, but then they face the greatest challenge of all when Lanny’s called by his elders to make a potentially life-changing decision. He’s torn between a deeply-felt duty to honor his Native elders and an even deeper-felt love commitment to Sheyanne.

The strength of their love connection is put to the ultimate test when the time arrives for Lanny to decide. What will it be? Free on Kindle.

Inspired by the Scottish folktale, Bean Nighe (a.k.a. The Washer Woman) with a hint of Beauty and the Beast.

Never in a million years did Preya believe she’d be chosen by the curse on her village. Outcasted for her appearance, Preya has never bothered trying to fit in. Friends, balls, and romance are for eligible maidens, not a pariah who spends her time caring for her family. But this year is different.

Each Summer Solstice the Washer Woman enslaves a maiden of seventeen as her Messenger, a bearer of death to those who are Fated to Die. No maiden has ever survived her enslavement.

If Preya is to be the first, she must submit and follow the rules set by the Keeper. The mysterious boy is tasked with her training and, at all times, cloaked from her sight. His strict, domineering methods clash with his warm voice and gentle touch.

Preya doesn’t know how he’s connected to the curse, if he’s good or bad, human or monster, and why she’s drawn to him. When trusting him becomes her only chance at freedom, Preya discovers secrets about the Keeper and the past that change everything she thought she knew. Saving herself isn’t enough. She needs to break the curse, and she needs his help to do it. $3.99 on Kindle.
