Be Careful What You Ask For… Alastair Stone has already paid off two of the three favors he owes his ancestor Aldwyn. He expects the third to be big, but he has no idea how big. Aldwyn reveals he has another scion—a man the dragon has sensed, but never been able to locate. He wants Stone to find him. The shocks don’t end there, though. Stone soon discovers the mysterious scion is a lot more familiar than he expected—which leaves him with a dilemma. Does he obey the oath he swore to Aldwyn and deliver the scion to him? Or does he take a chance and join forces with the only man he knows who has a chance to help him take the dragon down once and for all? Before he can make that choice, though, he has to find the scion. That’s hard enough—but when he succeeds, he’s thrown into a horrific series of events the two of them must survive before they can even think about Aldwyn. And meanwhile, Aldwyn has plans of his own… Prepare to lose yourself in this #1 Amazon-bestselling urban fantasy series readers are calling “Unstoppable” and “A major winner!” Once you enter the world of Alastair Stone, you won’t want to leave.

She also freelances for Catalyst Game Labs, publisher of the popular roleplaying game Shadowrun, where she's contributed fiction and game material to numerous sourcebooks and one full-length adventure, "On the Run," which was included as part of the 2012 Origins-Award-winning "Runners' Toolkit."

She's working on her second Shadowrun novel, "Veiled Extraction," which will be released in late 2016 or early 2017.
