THE CAMP on KINDLE





THE CAMP on NOOK





Emma has always tried to be perfect in her almost eighteen years of existence, but it has never been good enough for her mother and stepfather. As she finds herself counting the days until she’s officially free from her parents’ reins, her stepfather hands her a plane ticket explaining that she must attend the Re-Boot Camp in the wilds of Alaska. 



Once she lands in the middle of nowhere, she realizes the camp is nothing like she imagined, and she wants out immediately. 



That is until she meets Liam. 



The camp is full of teens with dark pasts, but she finds herself drawn to Liam’s ability to see who she really is and who she wants to become. While Emma and Liam begin adjusting to a place neither wants to be, frightening events begin to unfold. When people begin disappearing, it becomes apparent they can only trust one another as they fight for survival.


WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN on May 8th!  Good Luck!!!

The Camp 



Emma has always tried to be perfect in her almost eighteen years of existence, but it has never been good enough for her mother and stepfather. As she finds herself counting the days until she’s officially free from her parents’ reins, her stepfather hands her a plane ticket explaining that she must attend the Re-Boot Camp in the wilds of Alaska. 



Once she lands in the middle of nowhere, she realizes the camp is nothing like she imagined, and she wants out immediately. That is until she meets Liam. 



The camp is full of teens with dark pasts, but she finds herself drawn to Liam’s ability to see who she really is and who she wants to become. While Emma and Liam begin adjusting to a place neither wants to be, frightening events begin to unfold. When people begin disappearing, it becomes apparent they can only trust one another as they fight for survival. 



Awakening (Watchers Trilogy #1) 



Alone in snowy, remote Whistler village, Ana tries to build a new life since losing her parents. With a cozy condo, a sweet-faced bulldog and an evening job to leave the days free for the slopes, life slips into a great routine. If only she could shake the guilt for not remembering anything about her parents and banish the night terrors that haunt her every dream. 



On a whim, Ana goes out with Athen, a guy she’s just met in the Grizzly Pub... The only problem is that she feels like she already knows him. 



Within 48 hours of meeting Athen and his family, Ana’s world implodes. She falls for Athen quickly and before she knows it, a past life begins to resurface. As thrilling as the revelations appear at first, she fights against the chilling information that Athen is from the underworld. Soon she begins to struggle as her own supernatural gifts are slowly unveiled, and she realizes that the nightmares she’s been having might be premonitions and not dreams at all. 



It is up to Ana to decipher between fact and fiction before it is too late, and her new love, Athen, follows in her same fate - one that is lost between two worlds. 



Legions (Watchers Trilogy #2) 



As the magical holiday season is disrupted with an afternoon of horror, it becomes apparent that the Legions have begun their uprising around the globe, and Ana does her best to stay strong even though her world has been shattered. 



It is up to Ana to find the strength within and not fall prey to the dark side as she begins her chase to reclaim what’s rightfully hers. 



Realizing that Ana’s visions alone are not enough to protect them, her family begins her training immediately before she is targeted once more. The Legions will not quit until they get what they want, and they have made it clear that mortals will not be spared, leaving Ana little time to figure out what it is the demons are after. 



As Ana balances her time between chasing after her destiny and spending her time relearning how to fight demons, she learns something about her past that could change why she’s fighting for anything at all. Clues continue to unfold in the form of yellowed letters she finds from Athen buried within an old Tudor home; and her future is signaled in a lone, white rose left for only her to see giving her the strength to persevere. She is determined to not give up faith that she will have it all once more. 



Cataclysm (Watchers Trilogy #3) 



When it becomes obvious that the dark side will stop at nothing to control the mortal world, Ana is faced with a decision that could determine the fate of Fallen Angels everywhere. 
Determined to not use mortals as pawns, Ana does her best to prepare for the battles ahead while protecting the innocent souls around the world. 



As danger looms at every turn, she realizes that the ones she thought were prey might actually be the predators, and it will take an army like never before to stop the wickedness from spreading throughout the world.
 
Taken Novella (Watchers Trilogy #0.5 ~ ebook only) 



Ana and Athen are enjoying the quiet life as a couple with only the minor dark demon infraction to rectify. Cyril and Arie are enjoying the newfound simplicity too. Things are perfect – too perfect. 



They soon realize that something far more sinister is taking place in their world, and they must do their best to stop the evil from spreading. Determined to figure out who is tampering with the mortals’ fate they are unable to recognize that it’s a trap, and one of their own is the target. 
This is where it all begins. 



Lonely Souls (Witch Avenue #1) 



A world full of magic, love, and loss...
It's two weeks before Triss turns 18, and her world is about to change into the most magical one imaginable as she readies to enter The Witch Avenue Order... that is until her mother's disappearance. 



Unsure of who she can trust, Triss is relieved when her childhood friend, Logan, moves back to town for college -- except he's changed -- and she's worried he'll become more of a distraction than a help. As the line between friendship and love is blurred, Logan proves to be everything she needs during this time. Triss agrees to let Logan help her find the answers she so desperately seeks surrounding her mother's disappearance. 



When they begin uncovering clues, it becomes apparent that the life of white magic they both grew up loving is not what the majority practices, and their lives are in danger. 



With a haunting feeling that her mother may still be alive, she begins to feel a call to the wilderness. Triss realizes that in order to find the answers she needs, she must learn the ways of her ancestors. She must become the hunter and not the hunted before it's too late, and she becomes part of the Lonely Souls. 



Altered Souls (Witch Avenue #2) 



The realm of Altered Souls brings nothing but unrest, deceit, and pain forcing Triss to come face to face with heartbreak from her past. 



Facing a betrayal like never before, Triss questions everything she thought she knew about her family, coven, and abilities. 



With the help of Logan, she embarks on a journey enabling her to confront the dark side of magic and the person who controls it. Realizing Triss’s ancestors have been seduced for centuries by the dark side, Triss and Logan must ensure no more in their world fall victim to the realm of Altered Souls, even if that means ending the ones they love. 



Released Souls (Witch Avenue #3) 



Triss and Logan’s love is becoming stronger by the day as they harness the powers between them, but will that make them blind to the evil they’re facing? 



After uncovering startling information about her family, Triss is determined to right the wrongs of her ancestors. Triss and Logan uncover who has infiltrated the covens across the globe, and they realize the plans of the dark side are far more sinister than they’d ever imagined. 



As the power of this hidden world is exposed, Triss learns her role in the covens. With Logan, Dace and Bakula’s assistance, Triss is now able to fully realize the abilities her ancestors have given her. 



It won’t be long until the dark forces regain their strength, especially as their leader, Eben, continues his quest for a power that can never be revoked. Triss must stop him before it is too late.

Birthday Contest and Book signing Event

It’s my birthday weekend, and I thought I’d spread the love to everyone who follows my blog by offering a b-day contest. This last year has been quite amazing, and I can’t thank you all enough for coming on the ride with me as I shared my stories with you. I have been so lucky on so many levels, and I feel very grateful every day when I sit back down at my laptop to type away. I’m also really happy to announce that I will be attending a signing event on August 10th in Stamford, Connecticut! I really hope I’ll get to meet some of you!! I’ll have lots of swag to share with you all – not to worry! It’s a bit of a trip from Washington, but I’m really looking forward to it! I’ve posted the links and information for attending down below. It’s a FREE Event and authors are being announced daily. There will be VIP events and all sorts of things going on. 



When Awakening was first published my only hope was to brighten someone’s day a little. I know how amazing it is to slip into another world when we connect with a book. Not all books are for everyone. That I fully realize! But when there’s a connection, it’s a special thing. In the reading world, there’s nothing as incredible as being haunted by the ghosts of characters we’ve fallen in love with. 




I never imagined that in a very short time my stories would connect with some readers in that way. I always hoped for it, but I never knew if they would. I’ll never forget the very first email I received about how connected a reader felt to the characters in The Watchers Trilogy. It meant the world to me and still does. The emails and messages that I continue to get from readers are literally “like the best thing ever”. The community of writers, readers, and bloggers is a really special one and I’m really thankful to be a part of it. 



For those of you wondering about Shattered Souls, I’m really thrilled with it and the choices that Logan and Triss have made so far. Sometimes (okay, most of the time) the characters really do call the shots! It’s been so much fun and I’m beyond excited to share Shattered Souls with you as this segment of the Witch Avenue series comes to an end. I still don’t have an exact release date other than to say it will be this spring. Once the cover reveal happens, you’ll know we’re getting close. I normally get the covers way in advance, but this time I’m changing it up a bit. 



Anyway, about that contest!!! LEAVE a comment and you will be entered to win a fabulous Witch Avenue tote, signed bookmarks and a $10 Amazon card!! The winner will be randomly chosen on May 5th. Good luck everyone!
