The Blessing!

The Blessing

Now available exclusively through Amazon!

I'm delighted to announce that my latest book-baby, The Blessing, is now available on Amazon!!! Here!  

Yes, it's earlier than I'd anticipated, but this baby's been in my heart for years. The Blessing is a fictional study inspired by my family's history, nineteenth century news-clippings, and by my studies of the Bible's book of Job. (Yes, Job, so be ready. My poor characters don't have an easy time of things for much of the book.) Here's a blurb:

May Somerville has suffered a year worthy of the Bible's Job, and the man who unknowingly prompted all her troubles has fallen in love with her.

Isolated in Colorado's rugged mountains, her beloved family shattered by tragedy and loss, May Somerville questions her Creator amid her struggles to survive. Beset by unexpected storms, both physical and spiritual, May seeks blessings--reasons for hope as she works to restore her family.

Separated from May by unforeseen circumstances and the expectations of others, Alex Whittier is determined to reverse injustices suffered by the Somervilles. But is it too late to redeem himself for the sake of the courageous young woman he's been unable to forget?

Realm of Thorns, First Draft DONE!

Celebrating!

A Novella is born--thus far ;)

This week, I finished Realm of Thorns, the novella-backstory to my next series--Legends of the Forsaken Empire. For once, my attempt at a novella remained novella-size, coming in just under 33,000 words. Not bad! However, I'm approaching the second draft full of ideas for add-ins as I polish and refine the story, so I shouldn't congratulate myself yet.

 Wish me blessings, guys!

Meanwhile, here's a tiny hint of this mini-novel:

Reckoning has come. Khelqua, the crown of the Syvlande Empire has been destroyed. The royal house of Khelqua lies drowned beneath a prophesied destruction of its vast river valley, leaving an ocean of dead waters. Khelqua's ancient royal lineage now rests with two siblings, who have lost their family, their fortunes, and the realm that defines their existence.
