Book Review- The Paradise Protocol

Originally arriving as a bio-scientist to study that world, her assistant has disappeared and it appears the organization that had sent her has also abandoned her. Until she is no longer alone. Sean Reese was sent to Empusa III as Aric’s new assistant. Or so that is the story he is telling her. There is very little he is telling her that is the truth, and as he spends more time with her, the more he finds out that what he had been told about her isn’t the…

Book Review- The Flaming Sword
I will be completely upfront, I did not care for this book as much as the first. It felt like for the first 3/4ths of the book there had been zero growth from the characters, with the exception of Brady. I really enjoyed seeing him step up and the tension between him just about being his own man and still growing up was really well done. YA and children’s literature are my current favorite genres, but The Flaming Sword was the first time I really had trouble getting through a YA book because I felt like I was too old for it. Maybe this is a sign that it really has…

Book Review- The Broken Trail
The Broken Trail Review I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Christa MacDonald pulls you into her story in the first couple pages and I found myself putting off other responsibilities to read a few more pages. Katherine Grant is very good at her job, but she needs a break. She takes an assignment at a small town school hoping for a change of pace. Instead she finds constant tension with the school director who may or may not be sabotaging her. Mac is a stubborn control freak who is drawn to Katherine from the first time he sees her. Even though he frequently gets burned by her temper. I really appreciated…

Book Review- The Tethered World
Ah this book made me smile. The story telling is seeped in my favorite things. Narnia references throughout, nuanced characters, an exciting new world to explore, The Tethered World took me a while to get through because I was enjoying myself and didn’t want to rush. Sadie Larcen is one of five siblings, the oldest in a homeschooling family. Her family is the best representation I have ever seen in fiction of a homeschooling family. They take care of each other, they squabble, and the older ones find out they have to rescue their parents from Big Foot. “What if Myths are Real” is only my favorite writing topics ever. I appreciated…

Beginnings to a Fairy Tale- New Book
Available on Kindle First time ever available, the prequel to Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale! Beginnings to a Fairy Tale takes place about 15 years before the events of Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale. While it can be read without reading my first book, it is written assuming the reader has read Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale. The story follows Christi, Emilee, Jessica, and Lenzi and their meeting of the people who would become family; it is the introduction of the ‘dunami world and delves deeper into Jessica and her life. *the release of this book also marks the completion of #16 in my 30 before 30, release or re-release my four completed books!

Lost and Found: A Fairy Tale
Available on Kindle Another re-release from me! My second novel Lost and Found: A Fairy Tale with a newly designed cover by Annie J Designs. Lost and Found: A Fairy Tale is a follow up to Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale, while many of the characters from the first book are present, it focuses more in on Jer’s daughter Katrina and a new character. Whereas the first book it is debated whether or not it is science fiction or fantasy, Lost and Found definitely falls into the fantasy category. I wanted to expand more on the ‘dunami world and the creatures that lived there. And expand on different cultures beyond the one of Karipol. To…
