This collection contains Crystal’s Conviction, a look at Crystal and her faith before the events in A Question of Faith.

A little snippet from Of Slumber and Discord:

There she lays upon her bed large enough to fit three persons her size, beneath a ruby red silk blanket. Her mouth is perfect, those terrible lips parted slightly. It is her tongue that is wicked.

As I stare at her, my will falter. She looks peaceful now as if she could not harm a single soul. To kill another is no easy task, and so she will remain asleep. No longer will she be a blight her kingdom, able to force others to submit to her every sung command.

With rushed urgency, I whisper the words of the sleeping curse, “Sleep and rest and know no more. You shall rest for all of yore. A single prick and deep sleep waits. Ne’er shall you wake ‘til evil abates.”

The Cost of Greed will be released on August 22nd!

Some have feared and hated witches. Fear, now that I can understand. Witches are powerful and not all are kind or generous with their abilities.

But, hate? That confuses me. Some witches are cruel, granted. Not everyone is good, humans and witches alike. Does that mean we desire to be despised, disdained, or disrespected?

No, most certainly not!

Two weeks ago, Of Gold and Deceit, my twisted take on Rumpelstiltskin, released. Now, you can read the tale of how he came to have his magical powers in The Cost of Dominance! Free with KU!

I finished When Sirens Screech. I’m really pleased with the story, and I’m so excited for the new adventures Clarissa will face. Now it’s off to be edited!

What’s up next? A few short stories for more anthologies and then the next fairy tale. Have to give my twisted take on Hansel and Gretel! What fairy tale would you like to see twisted?

The amazing visions of future life in space and on the new planets that many expect us to find are portrayed in the stories from the talented Phoenix Prime writers in this anthology.

See what the future may hold for you and yours.

This anthology has my second ever mil scifi story. Salore was so much fun to write. I’m really excited to dive into scifi, and I hope you’ll enjoy the stories in this set! Read more here!

A little snippet from Of Cinder and Madness:

Shoving aside my doubt, cloaking myself in my fear, I remove the key from my pocket.

At once, her eyes flash with understanding, a flicker of an emotion, fear of her own or maybe acceptance. Then her birds swoop toward me as one massive swarm. I barely have time to close the door and lock it before they slam against it. Thud, thud, thud.

A minute passes and then another, and I lean against the heavy locked door with my eyes closed. It’s done. She’s barred. She’s too far up. Her birds never leave her side for long, and only one at a time at that. We’ll be fine now. We’ll be safe.

I hope.

I pray.

I fear.

Here’s another little excerpt from When Sirens Screech:

“Sir? Won’t you reconsider allowing me the chance to question the suspect?” I hope he’ll say yes, but I fear he won’t change his mind.

Fear wins.

“If you have questions for him, you can feed them to me. Do you think he’s a vampire? A werewolf? Something else? God help me if there is a something else.” He mutters the last bit.

Finally! When Wolves Howl is out in the world! Plenty more action, adventure, scares, cunning and more from Detective Clarissa Tempest! She won’t let a werewolf frighten her. 😉

If you’ve read any of the Bedlam in Bethlehem stories, I’d love to know which one is your favorite so far! Do you enjoy reading about vamps and wolves that aren’t the forbidden love interest?

I’m still working hard on When Sirens Screech. It’s really coming along nicely! Over halfway done already. Crazy, but it’s basically typing itself. I love it when that happens!

If you’ve read any of the Bedlam in Bethlehem stories, I’d love to know which character is your favorite and which one you would like to read more about!
