I'm currently writing book three and hope to put it out very early next year. I was originally planning on the end of this year but it's not going to happen now. (thanks pandemic distraction) I'm in the middle of wrapping up my next book for a September 1st release so The Rebels of Psiere is holding until I can get back to the keyboard early next week.

However, if you think you might like "A diverse and funny fantasy fauxmance that guarantees a rollicking good time", you should check out Elemental Attraction when it drops in a few weeks. Maybe that can tied you over while you're waiting for Mystery of the Makers 3. (less)

I have an idea about Orianna's life story (because she is an interesting character and has an equally amazing history) tumbling around in the hopper. Maybe someday it will come to fruition. Thank you for asking.

"I finished this trilogy in less than a week—it was a thoroughly enjoyable fantasy that reads like historical fiction.

“Well, Queen Orianna, back home I was like an almond tree growing in an orchard of apples. But here…everybody is nuts!”
K. Aten, The Fletcher

“It's only when you give up desire and cling to hope that you find what you most desperately search for.”
K Aten

“It is perspective that differentiates between reality and imagination. And that same perspective will determine if a picture is truly worth a thousand words, or if those thousand words are silent in the face of one solitary moment of our precious, too-human, time.”
K Aten

K Aten

“Clay is molded to make a vessel, but the utility of the vessel lies in the space where there is nothing. Thus, taking advantage of what is, we recognize the utility of what is not.”
Lao Tzu

“Every friend we meet convinces us we are worth more than that one person who thought we were worth less.”
K Aten
