Magicians' Rivalry

2017

An estranged son. An adopted heir. A magical attack that forces them to work together. The disappearance of Auric Spellsmith’s mother has strained his relationship with his father to the breaking point. Now, after five years away at the Magicians’ Academy, Auric returns home, determined to prove himself to his father and claim his birthright. Apprentice Jericho Carver has held Spellsmith Manor together in Auric’s absence. Now his master’s son is back, and if he can’t get rid of Auric, Jericho will forfeit his career and lose all hope of wooing the master’s enchanting daughter. Neither man intends to back down. But then Master Spellsmith vanishes into the mysterious Fey Lands. With Fey magic threatening the mortal realm, Auric and Jericho must work together to save the man they both see as father.

Magicians' Trial

2017

Auric Spellsmith and Jericho Carver saved the world—but the world is less than pleased. Accused of causing a magical energy crisis and of “conduct unbefitting magicians,” the pair travels to the big city to defend their case, Rill and Jaspyr in tow. But they soon find themselves embroiled in a world where everyone has an ulterior motive. Politics are a web of deception, more dangerous than Fey magic. Then Auric discovers Lotta, an attractive but eccentric engineer whose invention could solve the Republic’s energy crisis—if they can survive long enough to test her theories. The mysterious assassin who is after her now hunts Auric and Jericho too. At odds with the law and criminals alike, Spellsmith and Carver will need every drop of wit and magic to survive.

Magicians' Reckoning

2017

Auric Spellsmith and Jericho Carver forged a friendship through fire. Now they face a new enemy: a being from the Fey Realms who threatens their friendship as well as the life of one they both love. The loss of his father leaves Auric reeling even as Jericho and his wife Rill are overwhelmed by the arrival of twins. When a mysterious Fey begins abducting local children, Spellsmith and Carver prepare for a full-on assault. An attack close to home drives a sudden wedge between Jericho and Rill. With his friend's heart and confidence shattered, Auric steps up to defend their fractured family. Time's running out to save the stolen children, and the family must rally together to stop the Fey predator. But the cost might be Rill's very soul.

An addictive personality, she jumped from one fandom to another, being at times completely obsessed with various books, movies, or television series (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Star Trek all took their turns), but she has grown to be what she considers a well-rounded connoisseur of geek culture. Married to her high school crush who is now a US Marine, she has moved multiple times in her adult life but believes that home is wherever her husband, two daughters, and pets are. She is the author of a four part fantasy/romance series entitled "The Dragon and the Scholar," the Award Winning (2016 Realm Award for Young Adult Fiction) Nyssa Glass Steampunk series, and MG/Fantasy "Cora and the Nurse Dragon," among others .
