I believe if we teach a child to write we’ve taught them to release their emotions in a constructive way. I wrote poetry growing up and I can look back and see how so much of it was written to release my emotions. I wrote “Story Octopus: Writing Helper Extraordinaire” to do just that, help children learn how to write their own stories and my six year old granddaughter helped illustrate it. https://www.amazon.com/Story-Octopus-....

No damsel in distress, 20 year old Rylee James hides in plain sight of the enemy, hoping to rescue her brother - a Confederate soldier captured by Union forces. Disguised as a man, she's counting on her skills as a doctor to see her through while she risks it all to save the only family she has left.

Love of family, love of country, or love of a good man - agonizing decisions to be made when she finds that setting her brother free has left her a prisoner of the heart.

I'm so excited that The Love of Gods will be live on Amazon Kindle on May 1st. This is the first book of a new paranormal romance series. Lugos had given his word when the world was still young, before he’d endured the wrenching pain of her soul being torn from his. Lifetime after lifetime she’d returned when he’d needed her most, when the apathy of his kind had eaten away at his resolve and his heartfelt vow seemed pointless. One would think he’d be able to protect a single mortal, after all, he was a god. But two long centuries had passed since he’d held her, since he’d been whole. Now, she was back and Lugos had a decision to make; claim the only woman he’d ever loved, or deny his soul’s deepest craving and grant Keely a chance at a peaceful life without the dangers that populated his world. For five years, Lugos had chosen the latter with the hope that the fates might overlook them this time. That was still his plan when the goddess Rhiannon called seeking his help. Lugos should have known better.

I'm also just releasing the final book to the Darkly Series. Resurrected Darkly will also be live on Kindle May 1st.
It didn’t matter that Uncle Hueil was now the unseelie king, or that the rest of her family had benefited from her uncle's rise to power. Ena seemed destined to remain separate, an outcast among the fey at court. She had a temper and was sharp-tongued thanks to her mother’s dragon blood. She'd never be a sweet and submissive mate for the nobles who sought to tie their houses to the powerful House of Caw. So when the matchmaking goddess Blodeuwedd appeared, Ena was suspicious. But because denying the gods was tricky, and the errand appeared simple, Ena agreed. After all, she had a dragon's cold heart. Not even Blodeuwedd's silly binding vows could warm it.
Crank had once been a warrior of legend, but that was before the goddess Arianrhod cursed him for merely entering her realm. Eventually he'd abandoned his noble name, his honor, and every oath he'd ever held dear in his quest to find and restore his king to the unseelie throne. But in the end, Arianrhod's curse had taken everything from him. Then in Annwn, Crank had murdered his king, his life-long friend. Now madness was Crank's constant companion. He longed for death, but the gods weren't done torturing him…for they'd sent him a she-fey with lavender eyes and the temper of a dragon to tempt him to live again.
