A Stormy Path Tropes

In A Stormy Path, the overarching story and characters are expanded upon, we learn more about Amelia, and a new mysterious character is introduced. Also, this book centers a little more on horse characters because I wanted to.

A Stormy Path Release

Sparks Shall Rise: A Stormy Path is out! Available in eBook, paperback, and for the first time, hardcover. The first two books are also now available in hardcover. I am so happy with how the story turned out. I struggled with it but ended up coming up with more than I originally envisioned. The paperback is only on Amazon right now but will be on other retailers in a few weeks. The eBook will also be on more retailers soon. It is also ironic that on the release of this book, a severe thunderstorm rolled through. It’s actually still thundering as I’m posting this.

A Stormy Path Teaser Quote

Storms feature heavily in this book, both literal and metaphorical. The title has three different meanings. A Stormy Path releases on March 15th.

They got back onto Sunburst Road and stayed on the path. Tall trees on either side made the road darker than it should be. The castle was the nearest place to take refuge, even closer than the villages on either side. Dark clouds covered the skies above them. Would they make it before the storm hit?

A Stormy Path Description

Coming March 15th!

Here is the description for A Stormy Path. This is book is a tale about finding hope to keep fighting, even if the path ahead is stormy and filled with danger and uncertainty. Contains content dealing with suicide (off-screen), anxiety, and health anxiety. The book will be available in paperback, hardcover, and eBook.

Princess Aria has come a long way since surviving a near-death encounter with a wierlling and averting invaders in Torrannon, but the fight against mental illness can sometimes be one step forward, two steps back. As she struggles to overcome the health anxiety, her beloved horse, Storm, becomes lost in the wilderness. Aria will once again have to find the strength to face more challenges and figure out new ways to get more control over her mind. She must also deal with the mysteries of why a strange man who she met on the road has a troublesome connection to her mother, Amelia, and why two panthers are too close for comfort.

Reawakened Flames Tropes

When I wrote Reawakened Flames, I knew that I definitely wanted it to be an epic fantasy series in a medieval setting. Those are my favorite books. I love animal characters, so of course those would be in there alongside the humans. The thing that made it unique was that there would be a heavy emphasis on main characters struggling with mental illness or something else.

A Book’s Journey: Part 11

A Book's Journey: Reawakened Flames. Edition 1 vs Edition 2. Chapter 11.

This is chapter thirteen in the final edition of “Reawakened Flames.” The previous chapter with Landa sitting on watch on the top of the central tower of the sorcerer’s keep was added to the final edition because I wanted more thoughts from Landa.

Reminder: My notes will be in italicized red font, and the text from E1 will be in black. E1 refers to edition one, and E2 refers to edition two.
