UPDATE: July Charity Event for @SafeHaven4Cats #raleigh #cats #nonprofit #shelter

July royalties were sent into SAFE Haven for Cats 
to sponsor Pesto and Sable.

These cats are looking for forever homes. I'm crossing my fingers they will be placed soon.

Thank you to everyone who bought Struck!

Every July, I donate 100% of my royalties from one or more of my books to a charity of choice. It's my way of giving back during my birthday month.

This year, all royalties from the sale of Struck during the month of July will go to:

Struck by lightning, claimed by shadows.

Caught in a terrible storm, Gwynneth is struck by lightning. She wakes in the hospital with a vague memory of a mysterious stranger. Following her release, the stranger visits her at will and offers Gwynneth a gift—one that will stay the hands of death. She is uncertain whether Julian is a savior or something sinister, for as he shares more of this gift, his price becomes deadly.
