Leda, is a fire elemental on a mission to find a plainsfolk (a non magical person) set in the far future in which our current world has been destroyed and magic is now the way of life.

Maria Zannini creates complex worlds that draw me in, and make me want to sink into them for a long time. Her heroines are strong and her heroes even stronger. Touch of Fire is no exception.

Touch of Fire is a magical read set in a post apocalyptic setting. Throw in time travel and here is the makings of a riveting story.
Leda and Grey are addicting to read. I never want it to stop. They make an explosive pair and never a dull moment. Leda is a Fire Elemental hunting for a book that could mean catastrophe if in the wrong hands. However, on her hunt she becomes the hunted. Hunted by a man with great power and a knack for the fire element as well. What she does not know is this man ha...more

I homestead on six acres in the middle of nowhere.
My writing runs the gamut from science fiction to time travel to angel romance.
Blogging is my favorite way to connect with friends and followers. On my blog, I talk about dogs, country living, absent husbands, and ghosts. Yeah, I said ghosts. Why else would I start writing angel fiction? :-)
