News and Projects

Now that the Landers Saga and the Phoenix Realm are done, I put out a novel-length retelling of the myth of Persephone and Hades in 2019 entitled Persephone’s Tears: A Romance in the Seventh Dimension.  In the fall of 2021, I released The Dream Garden, a novel following Safire and Merius’s evolving family and their adventures in the mysterious Land of the Phoenixes. Also, I published a novelized version of Sleeping Beauty called A Nest of Thorns in late 2022.  I have started a standalone fantasy novel entitled The Night Court, an idea that came to me while I was looking at a creepy old Carnival mask in an antique shop.
