Happy New Birthday Star Touched!
Great news! Thanks to Wolf Mint Books, Star Touched is back.
The E-book went live a few weeks ago and the audio version is now up!
You can find them on Amazon.
If you are looking for a print version, I have the last two copies. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait until 2025.
It’s hard to be who you are meant to be.
Especially when your powers can get you killed.
Eighteen-year-old Tatiana is running from her past and her star-touched powers eight years after a meteor devastates earth’s population.
Fleeing the persecution of those like her, Tatiana seeks refuge in a small town she once visited. But this civil haven, in a world where society has broken down, is beginning to crumble. Will Tatiana flee or stay and fight for the new life she has built? Only by harnessing the very forces that haunt her can Tatiana save her friends…and herself.
“A unique and finely crafted novel. The characters touched my heart as I was drawn into their plight and compelled to finish!”
— New York Times bestselling author Maria V. Snyder
“Star Touched is fast-paced with well-defined characters and dialog that snaps. The ravaged, post-technological American society is depicted with sure strokes. The story draws one in and keeps one reading. And that’s exactly what one wants from a book.”
— A. L. Sirois, author of THE BOHEMIAN MAGICIAN
“A great YA dystopian novel exploring the challenges of being different, acceptance, maturity, and friendship.”
— Steven Southard
Star Touched was originally published in 2017 by Intrigue Publishing.
The story continues:
Plagued by memories not her own, a young hummingbird struggles to decipher the visions and powers that set her apart from her fellow birds. But the road to awareness is fraught with danger that could doom her to repeat history.
One step toward understanding.
One stride toward survival.
One leap toward flying free from the past.

A Year Ago Today: Never Forget October 7, 2023
A year ago today, Hamas, a terrorist organization, carried out a horrendous and unprovoked attack on innocent men, women, and children in Israel.
More than 1,200 were slaughtered.
Many of the women were brutally raped before being murdered.
Whole families murdered in their homes.
250 people, including very young children and the elderly, were abducted and taken to Gaza.
Many of them are still being held against their will.
This is not okay.
Never Forget.
Bring them home.
