I’m starting this set of brief posts between now and the release of my newest YA, Guardian of the Pines. Why? Because my hero, Cor, loves trees and also is a beekeeper. Red Maple trees have begun to bloom in my area, the suburbs of Washington, D.C. They aren’t a tree that folks go out […]
It’s #bookqw and my heroine soon will have ‘words’ in two books! Fern plays a big role in book 2 of The Windborne series. Today’s quote comes from chapter 2 of that story, Guardian of the Pines: Beri lightly touched her elbow. It wasn’t a random bump and when he looked questioningly at her, Fern […]
It’s #bookqw and flying would take your ‘breath’ away! More from Chapter 4: Fern opened her mouth to scream, but she could only gasp as her rescuers lifted her among oak and birch trees. Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod. The leafy ground dropped away, her stomach with it. “Lemme go,” she screamed. “It’s safe now. Look!” But […]

Excerpt from: Chapter 1 ~ Methods of Escape Bonterra City, in the Windborne Britain District Well past midnight, Cor glided in a serpentine motion down dark, tree-lined streets. His longboard’s wheels made a rhythmic thump crossing the concrete’s seams, and he pumped his wings every […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor puts trees first in ‘order’ every time. Excerpt from Chapter 1: With Cor wiping the weapon, they left the conservatory and approached a door just inside the main house. Master Harold put a hand to it, letting his magic flow unlock it. The old gas lamp flared as they entered, a […]
It’s #bookqw and a ‘surprise’ brings my teen H&H closer. More from Chapter 10: Fern whirled—and found herself nose to nose with Beri.

It’s #bookqw and one girl’s ‘drink’ is not a wizard’s delight. Excerpt from Chapter 10: “Are you hungry?” asked Fern. “Aye, I have nae eaten yet today. Do you keep your stores here?” “Aye, er, yes,” she said, shaking her head. “In the kitchen.” She led him to the back of the house and flung […]
