This is book 2 of my fantasy series, which begins with Kydona, available for free on all major online retailers.



The Green Lantern a Guide for Achieving the American Dream volume 2 How to Survive in a Modern Economy (Even on poets income!) is now available check it out!


After several dark stories, I've moved to the lighter end of the mystery/suspense spectrum with FOR LOVE OR MONEY. Written from Holly Price’s perspective, the mystery romps through eastern Washington State with its rivers, wineries, Native American casinos, and assorted farm animals. The relationship, with some wicked fun chemistry between the CPA amateur sleuth and a Franklin County detective, is a big part of the story.
FOR LOVE OR MONEY was huge fun to write and the advance reviews say readers like it!

'Three Wishes' is a collection of three romantic magical fantasies.
Sometimes True Love needs a little help. That’s where the Fairy Godmothers’ Union, True Love Local steps in. ‘Three Wishes’ tells three loosely related stories in which the fairy godmothers help unite three couples to fulfill their destinies together.
'Wonder Guy,' new today from Lyrical Press, is the story of Greg Roberts, who has been in love with the girl next door since they were both twelve, but Gloria Torkinson is engaged to marry someone else. Greg can only respect her choice in the matter - until his fairy godmother pops in with a different idea. As a mysterious, masked superhero Greg can appear to Gloria in a whole new light and win her love. But super-heroing is trickier than Greg knew, creating its own problems and uncovering inimical forces in his world that he never suspected. He'll have to discover the true hero in himself before he can set things to right and win at love.

After her parents’ divorce, as Jenna and her mother begin a new life at Yew Dales Resort, Jenna meets mysterious snowboarder Bren Bergen, a rebel Norse god who has escaped Asgard in order to break a cycle of destruction that threatens both of their worlds. When Loki, cunning master of discord, arrives seeking to bring Bren home, he discovers Jenna as well, and she becomes the center of a struggle which will determine all of their fates.

A call for heroes! Is passionate love the transforming force that forges heroes? David James, ex-CIA agent and co-founder of a quasi- paramilitary group called the Zs, never expected to find passionate love in Mexico with a married business woman, Ana Valdez. Ana herself had surprises in life. She unwittingly became a living symbol, a national icon for the Mexican people sick to death of the corrupt government leaders who could not protect them from the bloody excesses of the drug cartels. While trying to hide their affair, Ana and David get sucked into the violent world that they are trying to upend.
Redemption can only be achieved through blood and high purpose. Are the personal sacrifices of David and Ana sufficient to pay the ransom that will stop the advance of unconscionable evil? The Z Redemption cuts into the deep entrenchment of organized crime in the world we think we know. It shows the kind of courage ordinary people will be forced to muster in order to fight its cancerous growth.


Ever wonder how a heroine became a bad*ss? Well, Join Cordelia Kelly on her journey and watch her manifest from a confused, lonely elemental empath, into a righteous, kick-*ss woman. With Sol by her side, anything is possible. Even fulfilling her destiny. Sexy book, I promise!
This is a darker paranormal/UF hybrid. You'll find no fluffy bunnies, or shooting stars, or unicorns walking on rainbows.

Excerpt for you - Enjoy:
"The raw burn she felt for Tanner never diminished, searing inside her, leaving her no choice but to express it in any way possible. She craved him, addicted to his male scent, his lean muscles, and his possession of her. If only she could get closer, even closer than she had. The urge to have every part of him, to take him, rose with new fury."

My new (and first) release is YA Fiction, but I think it would still be relevant to adults.
It's entitled 'The Consequences of Forever' and here is the synopsis and link!:
"I closed my eyes and breathed him in, wishing I could absorb his words and make them true. I wanted to believe we would be okay, and when I didn't think too much about it, I could. But then when I was alone, and the realization started to sink in, I felt overwhelmed. This was really happening." - Excerpt from 'The Consequences of Forever'
Adam Montgomery entered Lainey Winslow’s life one cool summer night, and neither one of them ever looked back. Adam promised her forever, and that was one promise both intended on keeping.
Fast forward to a few months later, and Lainey’s world is turned upside down when she finds out she’s pregnant. Suddenly forced to make the biggest decision she’s ever been faced with, Lainey realizes that forever might be a lot more complicated than she’d ever imagined.
‘The Consequences of Forever’ is a tale about how your life can change in an instant, and the consequences that come with every decision and promise you make. Join Lainey as she learns more than she ever wanted to know about life, love, and the meaning of family.

Just wanted to tell you that my new romantic novella (around 74 pages), Click Me Happy! is now finally on sale. For week it will be in promotion at the special price of $0.99. And not only that, I offer you the chance to choose between three endings: an unhappy one, a neutral one, and a happy one. Take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity!
I leave you the description and links. Thank you for reading and sharing! And of course, don’t forget to CLICK!
http://viewBook.at/B00DK02JT2
Do you believe in love at first sight or first click? Do you think your life should be a romantic novel? Would you like to be able to choose the ending? If you’ve answered YES to any of these questions or feel intrigued by them, this novel offers you a unique opportunity. You can choose what kind of ending you want: unhappy, happy or neutral.
Lilith, the protagonist, does not believe in all that ‘romantic nonsense’. When her boss and friend, Debbie, asks her to create a digital books section for the library where they both work she triggers a series of events that shake all of Lilith’s strongly held beliefs.
Her dislike for social networking is put to the test and despite her love for privacy and technological naïveté she manages to make a number of virtual connections. The most interesting one, without a question, is Zane, a talented and attractive author and painter. Their friendship quickly develops into something else. But, what exactly? Lilith doesn’t have a clue.
A bet with Rowena, her childhood best-friend, offers her an opportunity to test her feelings for Zane and their relationship and a meeting, ‘real’ this time, is organised in the gorgeous setting of Bermuda.
At that point, you, the reader, have the choice. Do you want the story to end up happy ever after? Do you think there’s no chance for them? Or maybe you believe that there has to be more to life than romantic stories and a neutral ending or new beginning is more true to life? You can pick and choose your ending, or you can read all of them and choose your favourite, or even create your own and let me know. I’d love to hear from you! (I leave you links to contact me at the end.) Don’t be strangers!


Blurb: "Helen Sarkissian wants to be the first Human to talk to Aliens. On a future Earth dominated by the Shi'ite world-state, only the Shi'ites have starships. But is signing on as crew aboard a Shi'ite-run starship the answer? It seems so, until, deep in space, the religious tensions that divide the crew threaten to erupt into violence. Will Helen's bisexual identity be her curse or her salvation from extremism? Will she and every Western Alliance humanist on board The Sword Of Islam end up dead? Or will human differences be put aside in the face of a more pressing threat: the Swarm aliens on the world the Shi'a had assumed to be empty who have an opinion about everyone's survival? Who will triumph in a fight to the death between Human jihad warriors and Swarmers that have never been defeated?"
Inside flap: "This First Contact/Alternate Earth History/combat novel tells the story of Helen Sarkissian, an Armenian-American linguist who discovers that she must hide her identity as a bisexual while working for the Shi'ites aboard the starship. She also struggles to defend the life of a black Westerner who faces Shi'ite punishment even as all the humanists on board resist the Shi'a effort to oppress them sexually, racially and culturally. Eventually, every human learns the price of extremism during First Contact. More "Humans versus Aliens in galactic combat" stories can be found in King's novels Stellar Assassin, Star Vigilante, Retread Shop and Galactic Avatar." Tom.

Every girl dreams of a handsome Prince Charming to whisk her away to a fairytale ending. For Del Ryan it seemed unlikely, but that’s exactly what happened.
In 1874, New York booms with prosperity and conspicuous consumption with a clear social divide between classes. Del Ryan, an intelligent and talented Irish immigrant, works as a lady’s maid for a society matron. Although plain and unassuming, she is an accomplished artist with the gift of clairvoyance. She meets Killian Arthur, a golden Greek god from a privileged New York family. Fascinated by her, Killian transforms Del into a fine lady, the toast of her new class of friends.
But things are not always what they seem. Rough Irish Jimmy Sheehan has always thought of Del as his own and warns her that there is something not quite right about her suitor. Is he simply jealous, or does he want the best for the woman he loves?
Then the fairytale takes a violent turn when girls from Del’s neighborhood start turning up dead. Del witnesses the murders through her disturbing visions and realizes that with each new victim, the killer is getting closer. Will his identity be revealed before he comes for her?
