    Radio Silence

    It’s vacation time, but I’ll be busy working on releasing novellas and complete ebooks, with assistance from my daughter.

    The photo below was part of the inspiration for two contemporary novels on women in the military, specifically women of color.

    One book deals with a woman leaving the armed forces after several years,

    while the other focuses on a group of women aboard a naval vessel.

    Excerpts from both novels, as well as a five chapter excerpt from The Queen of Comedy will be up this week.

    Future Past is the premise behind a female driven steam punk tale

    Charlotte “Lottie” Rawlins has always believed in magic, ever since the day a young woman saved her life and then vanished right before her very eyes. But that was twelve years ago, and in all that time Charlotte has yet to find a magician who can duplicate what she’d witnessed. Even as she learns from some of the best, and worst in the business, Charlotte has an odd feeling she’ll eventually meet the woman who was her champion. And when she does, she’ll be forced to choose. Is she really keen on becoming some elderly duke’s wife, or is she ready to use her formidable talents to save the world?

    Another delay for HEAVEN

     

    Pencil sketch of HEAVEN book cover

     

    HEAVEN’s release date had to be pushed back due to circumstances out of my control (my nine to five has really gotten hectic, so all my attention, even the hours I’d usually spend editing and proof-reading are now filled with take home work). June 15th  The end of June looks more realistic, and gives me breathing room to catch any typos or passages that don’t flow well.

    I’ve extended the free book excerpt by 15 more pages. Here’s where you can read up to seven chapters of HEAVEN

    Heaven. Teen inmate and wounded Marine bond over the service dog they both love.
