Hopefully when the series are complete I can publish them as physical books. Sorry it's taking so long everyone. I've been kind of busy with a bunch of things. I'll be at the Farmer's Market in Beloit, WI again when it opens on May 5th. I'm not with a permanent spot sadly, but I'll be there somewhere in the Downtown area

Barred from crossing the river, the bandits turn to the task of overtaking their half of the continent. Struggles with other established kingdoms and internal fighting make Ranen’s job difficult. How far will he have to go to make things right for his people? When a certain event tears the bandit camp apart, Ranen has to make a difficult choice that changes everything.

Yesterday I had my top two wisdom teeth removed. The prepping was more scarying than the actual removal. I just had local anasthetic.. no gas or anything. It was fast thankfully. My face still hurts x.o it should be better in a couple weeks..

Meanwhile I'm still trying with the books and artwork. Goals for the new year are as usual to finish the books I started way back when lol.

The list of started/planned books is: Charisse Finishing School, Law of the Horde, Under Sandstom Skies, Politics of Love, Extraordinary Koen, Normal Thyme, Xenos, Project Chanthar, Project Nartana, and two more in the Sticks and Stones Collection..I keep changing their names but last set was The Skipping Stone and Like a Rock.

Books I've finished but have to rewrite/expand are: Whirlwind of Passed Lifetimes, Virtue is Sacrifice, Journeys of a Wandering Soul, Yearning for Home, Madam President, and The Sinking Stone.

I'm probably forgetting a bunch, but oh well lol

Book Writing Done = Journeys of a Wandering Soul

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 04:05:00 +0000

Book 5 of Rune's story is done. Technically that's the last, but Viki's story weaves through some of the last two books in her series.. Ach might rewrite parts once I finish Viki's three books.. I'm starting #2 now (tenative title Yearning for Home)

With the fight continuing in Tsubasa, sides have been picked. Rune is definitely not going to fall for the enemy's tricks. No matter how many times he tries to seduce Rune, she will stay on her side. A game changer is brought in the form of a little girl turned woman. With her brother Mask distracted by Viki, Rune might be able to end this once and for all. Then Rune can have her own life...if she survives.

Book Writing Done = Virtue is Sacrifice

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 01:50:00 +0000

Wow, that took longer than I thought..

But Virtue is Sacrifice is done... the fourth book in Rune's series. A lot of things have changed for her..

Rune didn't get very far, but she hasn't given up on her quest. Hopefully she can get around the traps set by the enemy without more people becoming injured. What her brother's master plans for the rest of the world just might destroy it. Rune is committed to stopping her brother, but along the way are many obstacles. Those who don't have her special gift will have to make the ultimate sacrifice. All is not lost, however. There is still hope as the next generation is brought into the fight as well.

I hope the next book goes faster, so I can move on to the rest of Viki's story

Yay! The second book in Rune's story has come

Rune survived the encounter with her brother’s captor, but it didn’t end well. Arien wasn’t there so he didn’t see, but the wounds Rune received were more than physical. The guilt over her failure leaves the young woman without a clue as to what to do next. She knows she has to save her sibling, but it doesn’t seem possible against the overwhelming force. Fortunately for her, Rune has made friends in more than just her part of the world. As she struggles on one side of the veil, those on the other side move to help in her quest.
