"A Swirl of Smoke and Stars" (book 2) coming 9/23!
Coming 9/23!!! "A Swirl of Smoke and Stars" is the sequel to "A Shiver of Rainbow and Shadow," and both are part of the Taste of Faerie series found on Amazon. Preorder the ebook on Amazon now (see the button below or click into the book's image under the "My Work" section of this page). Paperback will be available to order on 9/23.
In case it's not clear in the above image, here is the book's overview:
A Mother
Aura Cordyline, now in her power, births a baby into the world. She is unsure who fathered the babe. One Male would mean the baby should grow to be gentle and kind, ensuring a peaceful future ascension to the throne. If fathered by the other Male, the child's life could be colored by his misdeeds--either in action, or by association.
The birth leaves Aura questioning, guarding, and dreading the day they get their answer.
A Daughter
Rose Evangeline leads a sheltered life, living in a magical world with no power of her own. When her ability comes in, everyone is in for a shock.
Rose and her powers are hidden away until a suitable mentor is found. The mentor, however, tempts a newly-adult Rose into lowering her guard, setting her on a path of fear, pain, and separation from all she knows.
Thrust into a new world, Rose grapples with her loss and the raging power she fights to keep hidden within her skin.
A Lost Soul
Lost in the Abyss, Kylan Mensruptor seeks anything that brings him closer to his previous life. While indulging in fellow lost souls and fighting the endless darkness around him, he learns that his mind-control abilities have transformed. Now, he can enter dreams and converse with the living.
He homes in on someone who makes him feel alive. Someone whose disappearance brings something unexpected out of him, earning a second chance he never thought he'd have.
***I am making good headway on my Kylan origin novella (in-progress and available on my Patreon for subscribers), and I have a special collaborative project I'll be putting up here after ASOSAS releases, and it is DELICIOUS!! It is a collaboration between me and one of my favorite indies--author T.L. Brown--and involves my favorite character from her Door to Door series (cozy, light, and fun) and Bellerose Witchline series (Adult Dark Fantasy). Keep your eyes open for that spicy little treasure. It'll be swaggering into your world VERY soon! Thank you for any and all support, and please don't forget to leave a review if you enjoy an indie author's (or trad published author's) story.
Cheers! <3

"A Shiver of Rainbow and Shadow" is LIVE!!!!!
My debut novel, an Adult Dark Fantasy called "A Shiver of Rainbow and Shadow" is live on Amazon!!! Click the button below this to buy my book in paperback or ebook form. (Thank you!)
Here is the blurb:
"Discarded by her fellow Fae for her power to expose true colors, Aura leaves Faerie for the Human Realm with the hope she'll leave her past mistakes behind. There, she is met with danger and an unlikely hero who saves her and quickly becomes her friend.
While she adjusts to life in the Human Realm, temptation finds her in the form of Raze, a shadowy, powerful Male who can't seem to leave her alone. She allows him to seduce her, savoring a moment of bliss and a new addiction until her magic darkens the moment and she's on the run again.
After their tryst, Aura is taken in by Kylan, another powerful Male who is beautiful, deadly, and unafraid to seize what he desires.
When Kylan sends Aura to a foreign court as a spy, Raze finds her, setting off a chain of events that leaves Aura caught between the two formidable Males while she fights for acceptance, freedom, love, her inner light, and family--blood and found."

Feel the Magic...
Venture into the moonlight. Feel the cool dew on your toes, the mist upon your skin. Breathe deeply, savoring the sharpness of midnight air in your lungs.
Walk until you hear the trilling of faerie flutes, and reason is gone.
Follow the wisps into the trees as they dance slowly, round and round, lighting your way in the darkness.
Sit beneath the moss-cloaked tree and rest there a while. Lie back and watch the stars roll on as time slows down for you.
Don't mind the pinching of the roots as they dig beneath your skin.
Close your eyes and surrender yourself as the earth swallows you whole.
Dear child, welcome home. This is your happily ever after.
