Long-term commitment to create Literature, promote Literacy and to preserve Heritage.

After working full time revising and polishing my novel to the point of exhaustion, it occurred to me that I am pouring this much of my soul into my book so that one person can read it. 
 
That’s how it is. A connection one on one, every time. I sit down with you and open the pages of my heart.
 
You are worth every struggle, every revision, every late night that it takes so that we can have a personal interaction – story teller and reader.
 
That’s why I write.
My mother was a dragon slayer; my father, a dreamer of great dreams. I fall somewhere between, but Mama always thought I was more kin to Papa than to her.
 
 Raised in the mountains of Colorado, I had the advantage of what some would call a disadvantaged childhood. We didn’t have a lot of what money could buy, but plenty of opportunity to develop our own ingenuity and creativity. 
 
I studied human behavior in college right after high school, but didn’t really start to understand people or myself until I explored life with characters in my own fiction. 
 
I eventually returned to college and earned a Bachelor’s degree from Marylhurst University.
 
I’ll never be a dragon slayer like my mother, but riding dragons is a different matter entirely and getting acquainted with them has led me on some amazing adventures. Want to come along?

Moon in the Day Sky: Valley of Thunder

“Run, Starsha, Run! You’re stronger than you think you are. Keep your brother safe from Garthazor.”

Sixteen-year-old Starsha is a dreamer in a world where female dreamers are feared, hunted, and destroyed. When an angry mob burns down Starsha’s home, her mother’s final words haunt her. She must flee with her baby brother, Pinay, to a cottage in the forest, where she is safe until her hiding place becomes more dangerous than the field of battle.

Starsha is hiding more than her brother—she’s been chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy: When the Moon is in the day sky in the Valley of Thunder, the dreamer will rise on wings of power and reclaim dominion. Her power is tested when Pinay is abducted by Garthazor’s men.

Nothing will stop Starsha from embarking on the perilous journey to rescue her brother. In her quest, she encounters an angry dragon, a benevolent and magical grandmother, and an attacker linked to her mother’s death.

With an army amassed against her and the powers of mutated magic threatening her destruction, Starsha must summon all her courage to claim the promised legacy and save her brother.
