Bound in Blue
2014
Gods walk among us—all you have to do is See. High school senior Rhiannon Lynne couldn’t get noticed even if she walked stark naked into the cafeteria and started playing the banjo. While tap dancing. As if that weren’t strange enough, Rhi has synesthesia—she feels in color. It takes being almost drowned by a Celtic river goddess for her to discover she’s been bound by a spell that has hidden her from the world and her own mysterious heritage. As Rhi starts to see that her colors belong to magic, she finds herself at the center of a conflict between gods, humans, and the lost world of Avalon. She’ll need to figure things out fast if she wants to be a player in the coming conflict and not a pawn. Each side has a claim on her loyalty, but each one could decide she’s the real threat. Hopelessly attracted to a god of thunder; deeply connected to a boy with no memory of his past; irresistibly drawn to a creature with a taste for flesh—Rhi’s choices could decide the fate of worlds, but their choices could decide hers. Maybe not being seen wasn’t so bad after all.

To Make A Witch
2014
A standalone story featuring the enigmatic Lacey McInnis from The Sword Of Elements Series. It isn't necessary to have read Bound In Blue to enjoy this supernatural adventure of a wannabe witch. On December 17th, 2013, a vandal painted the tomb of Marie Laveau—the famed Voodoo Queen of New Orleans—bright pink. It is believed that the vandal’s intent was to cover the X marks that had been scratched into the tomb. This story takes place just after that event. At her old high school, Lacey found herself on the wrong side of a conflict between Celtic gods. Making a new start in an exclusive boarding school in New Orleans, she hopes to forget that she was once on the verge of becoming a powerful witch—and everything she’s lost both since and before then. When a gruesome murder occurs in the very heart of Westover Academy, Lacey discovers a connection between it and the desecration of the tomb of Marie Laveau, the famed Voodoo Queen. Haunted by a trauma in her past, Lacey must solve the mystery before she becomes the killer’s next target. Circumstances beyond her control may once again make Lacey McInnis—cheerleader, scholar, and all-around good girl—a witch.

Caught In Crimson
2015
Rhi’s ability to see magic as color, and her hunger to consume it, have brought her to Las Vegas to seek out the bard Taliesin’s help in understanding the true nature of what she is—a Leannan Sidhe, a kind of vampire. Armed with Excalibur, she’s torn between the factions looking to control the destiny of the earth. When an ancient artifact of the earth magic calls to her, filling her with fire, Rhi must decide whether to follow her heart or the path to power before her father Merlin decides she’s outlived her usefulness and destroys her mind. The choices caught up in color and magic are never black and white.
#3
Sealed In Silver

RHI CAN SEE MAGIC AS COLOR, AND WHAT SHE CAN SEE, SHE CAN TAKE. Infected with fire, Rhi must find the avatar of water to heal the Grail before she destroys everyone around her. As she flees from Arthur and what she did to Tynan, she travels hidden paths and discovers hidden truths about who—and what—she truly is. Rhi must find all the talismans of the earth magic, and soon. A war is coming which will sweep the earth if she can’t stop it, but prophecy may have chosen the wrong girl. Rhi can’t face the truths of her own heart, let alone truths which can save a world.
