DEBUT NOVEL

Sky of Seven Colors

In a strange part of the forest, the divide between worlds grows thin.

After the accident, Meg would do anything to wake her best friend from his deadly coma. At least, that’s what she whispered into the woodland shadows. She never imagined her wish would trap her in a gray other-earth, void of any color.

Meg's vibrant humanity is a priceless artifact in the gray kingdom, coveted by the royal court. All she wants to do is find a way back home. Until she discovers the other-earth contains healing powers that can save her friend. But only if Meg becomes what the gray people need—a human bride for Kalmus, the powerful king of the capital city.

With her heart torn between earths, Meg’s choices may cost more than she knows.

People of Water is a standalone companion novelette. It takes place one hundred thousand years prior to the events in Sky of Seven Colors.

Out of the 832 souls living on the Vessel, there are only fifty-nine children, and Calara is the oldest by far—a lonely age to be. Her people fled their ancestral lands three generations ago, learning to endure a harsh life on the open sea. Now their numbers are dwindling. When Calara develops the rare ability to dream the future, the Vessel's survival falls into her young hands.

 As she struggles to understand her own power, the dreams lead to an encounter with a strange race of land dwellers. They hold the key to either saving the Vessel's people or destroying them, and Calara might be the only one who still believes the future can change. But dreams aren't an exact art, and choices make a difference in unpredictable ways.

Fire dreamed of water, but the first sip would be its last.

Gilde has spent her life isolated in the wild marshlands, a place too wet for the dragon to go. She’s safe there, according to her father. So why is he asking her to leave with him now that she has come of age? There is more to Gilde’s family than she knows, and debts need to be paid.


Betrayed and shattered, she wakes in a crumbling mountain castle with the beast of her nightmares. Except this dragon speaks like a man and reads books. His kindness confuses her and opens a forgotten longing in her heart, all while Gilde plans her escape from a mountain full of secrets.


This place can unveil her past and why she was sacrificed to the beast—truths that may put both their lives in danger if they can’t learn to trust each other. But how can Gilde ever trust again? Especially after she discovers what dragons truly are.

I grew up reading fantasy novels and getting my clothes muddy in the pine forests of Idaho. These days, I still love hiking through mountains and libraries, though I'm a bit less fond of mud. I don't write true stories, but I do write about truth. My debut novel, Sky of Seven Colors, somehow won a Carol Award and is a Christy Award finalist. I'm still recovering from the shock. When I'm not reading and writing, I sing in a band with my talented husband, who makes me happier than should be legal. If you like good food and honest conversations, we'll probably be friends.
