    MARK OF THE GODDESS

    Sometimes a blessing can be a curse.

    Young Maya bears the mark of the moon goddess, a sign that would doom her to be sacrificed in her village where the death god is revered. Forced to dye her golden eyes dark, Maya lives in constant fear of discovery. To save her family and the village’s future, she must find the courage to stand up to the high priest before he can bring the death god into this world.

    STAR TOUCHED

    HUMMINGBIRD

    Plagued by memories not her own, a young hummingbird struggles to decipher the visions and powers that set her apart from her fellow birds. But the road to awareness is fraught with danger that could doom her to repeat history.

    One step toward understanding.

    One stride toward survival.

    One leap toward flying free from the past.

    WOLF DAWN

    A Hidden Past – A Deadly Secret

    Gifted with the ability to wolf-talk, Kara has lived with the wolves since she lost her memories eight years ago. Now at sixteen, snippets of her past send her searching for answers.

    But the warm welcome she receives in the human village hides more danger than life with the pack.

    STAR TOUCHED

    Sometimes it’s hard to be who you are meant to be.

    Especially when your powers can get you killed.

    Eighteen-year-old Tatiana is running from her past and her star-touched powers eight years after a meteor devastates earth’s population.

    Her power to heal may be overshadowed by more destructive abilities. Fleeing the persecution of those like her, Tatiana seeks refuge in a small town she once visited. But this civil haven, in a world where society has broken down, is beginning to crumble.

    Only by harnessing the very forces that haunt her can Tatiana save her friends…and herself.

  • Live at the Maryland Renaissance Festival September 5, 2021

    Me with Maria V Snyder in 2019

    Plans are underway to open the Maryland Renaissance Festival live on August 28, 2021 through October 24, 2021. Grab your costumes and prepare for fun.

    Most of you know about the food, music, shows, artisan, and assorted shops at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. (I’m particularly fond of the leather workers, blacksmith, and glass blowers.) Amongst all this revelry, there is a hidden gem. Page After Page – Books of the Renaissance resides on White Stag lane. This charming little shop not only has some wonderful books, they also bring in a variety of authors. I’ll be there all day on Sunday, September 5.

    This is their only storefront, so come support a local business. Grab a pint and swing on by.
