A Queen's Pride

2020

A Queen's Pride - The U.S. Selfies Book Award 2021 Adult Fiction Finalist "The result is a powerful roller coaster of emotions that still makes time to probe themes of discrimination and entitlement. Readers will be hooked ." Publishers Weekly For centuries, humans descended on shifters' lands, killing and claiming. They devoured all in their path—gold, God, and glory their battle cries. From the flames of destruction on the Zafeo continent, two nations emerged—the human territory of Vumaris and the feline nation of Shona. No more wars. No more bloodshed. Eight decades of peace. For eighteen-year-old Asha, traveling to Vumaris with her parents, lion alphas of the Kingdom of Shona, should've been a simple matter. Recommitting to an eighty-year-old peace treaty between their countries should've been easier still. Yet, greed and corruption know no boundaries of time and place. So when a group of mercenaries converges on Sanctum Hotel, hellbent on kidnapping Asha and assassinating her parents, her family trip turns into the bloodiest night of her life. Will Asha lose those closest to her heart—her parents and Ekon, a young bodyguard she loves. If so, will she forgive her enemies or seek divine retribution? Only time will tell, and it's running out for Princess Asha of the Kingdom of Shona. Gun violence and torture (non-sexual)

Mafdet's Claws

2021

THE SHARP POINT OF HER RESILIENCE For Mafdet, the territorial expansion by humans onto shifter land, the spread of capitalism and so-called democracy weren’t historical footnotes to be glossed over in the retelling of a nation’s formation but premeditated violence played out on a grand, bloody scale against shapeshifters. Theft. Murder. Genocide. Named after a feline deity of capital punishment, Mafdet only wanted a life of peace, quiet, and security. But glory often falls to the cruel and wicked instead of to the righteous and just. And so it was for the Nation of Swiftborne and the woman who would become its protector. But resistance often comes at a great price. A price that not even Mafdet Rastaff, Great Cat of the Nation of Swiftborne, could anticipate. What is a woman to do when everything she loves is threatened? Her husband and children. Her parents and friends. Her cheetah nation and allies. Worse, what is a woman to do if all she loves is taken away? Submit and Die? Or Kill and Live?
