    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

    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.

    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.

  • My Sunday RavenCon Schedule

    RavenCon 16 is this weekend at the Virginia Crossings Tapestry Collection by Hilton, in Glen Allen, Virginia.

    Here is where you can find me on Sunday, April 23, 2023:

    11 am (Panel) Author’s Favorite Tools / Henry (Jefferson Building, 3rd floor)

    Are you organized but looking for your next suggestion? Or perhaps you’re not at all organized and have always wondered how others do it. Maybe you’re tired of your current organizational suite and are looking for the next best thing? Our panelists will discuss their favorite tools—everything from writing tools, to productivity, to planners, and beyond. Panelists: L.R. Gould, Kelly Griffiths, A.L. Kaplan, James Maxey (M)

    Noon (Signing) Dealers Room / Henrico Ballroom (Madison Building, 2nd Floor)

    2 pm (Panel) Costuming Characters in Your Writing / Henry (Jefferson Building, 3rd floor)

    Dressing a character in a story is far more complicated than you’d think. Writers need to consider all manner of things when clothing the people in their stories; from movement to warmth and from practical materials to extravagant accessories. Panelists: A.L. Kaplan, Cass Morris (M)
