Purchase BETWEEN, my paranormal novel for adults

How far would you go to redeem yourself?

As a young girl, Lucinda was able to see spirits, a gift that didn't come without its problems. Now, a dedicated young veterinarian, she is committed to the idea that every life can be saved.
After a devastating accident, Lucinda tries to escape her past by moving to a small town. There, she meets a newcomer and feels an immediate connection with him. But there is another mysterious stranger to the small town, one that stirs within her a mixture of unease and desire.
As Lucinda is drawn into a bitter tug-a-war from the forces around her, she is likewise pulled into a dangerous twist of past and present events. Forced to make difficult choices, she finds that the two men are locked in not only a battle for her life...but a battle for their salvation.

Purchase PRADEE, my young adult fantasy

What if there was an artifact that could see the past and change the future--would you use it?

Three friends are accused of poisoning an Elder in their village. They escape to the mysterious region of Vel to search for the Guardian of a mythical artifact. If they find the artifact; it is reputed to have the powers to see the past and change the future, thus proving their innocence. However, if it falls into the wrong hands, the artifact could destroy the future of their world as they know it.

In the tradition of The Dark Crystal by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, PRADEE will pull the reader into an exciting, otherworldly adventure.

*Second round finalist in Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Award Contest 2012

Both titles also available through Amazon.com and most on-line book venues.

July Animal Shelter Event Update

To everyone that purchased a copy of BETWEEN during the month of July and helped spread the word about my Animal Shelter Event--thank you so, so much!

Once I receive my royalties statement in November (yes, it takes awhile!) I will split 100% of my proceeds between the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter and the Franklin County Animal Shelter.
A huge thank you to both shelters for helping me spread the word on this event.

If you didn't get a chance to participate, I'm planning to run the same event (but different shelters) next year during my birthday month of July.  

Until then, you can purchase a copy of BETWEEN right here:
Amazon.com
and here:
Barnes and Noble

Have a wonderful weekend.

July Animal Shelter Event

For the month of July--my birthday month--I'll be donating 100% of my proceeds from the sale of BETWEEN to the Franklin County Animal Shelter and the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter. 
I'm a huge supporter of animal welfare and adoption and couldn't think of a better gift for myself than to give back to animal shelters.

Franklin County Animal Shelter is a high need shelter--staff and volunteers work very hard at trying to get all the animals adopted. 
We've adopted both our dogs from them and they've turned out to be wonderful family members!

This is Zeus. 
He was in the shelter as a puppy with six of his brothers and sisters. We were rotating through the puppies in the "get to know you" room, trying to pick which would best for our family. The shelter volunteer brought in his sister for us to take a look at, and Zeus, sensing his time to impress was up, parked himself in my daughter's lap and wouldn't move. 
Our decision was made.

and this is Jasmine.  
She was 2-years-old when we adopted her and had spent her life chained in someone's backyard. It took months for the fur to grow back around her neck and a week to house-train her. That was seven years ago and she's been the sweetest dog we've ever owned.  

Staff and volunteers at Rohnert Park Animal Shelter also work hard at finding forever homes for the animals. They are about 30 minutes away from Bodega Bay, CA. (The town in my paranormal novel BETWEEN, was fashioned after Bodega Bay)

I'm calling this event a Coast-to-Coast Shelter Hug!

If you're looking to add to your family, please consider taking a trip to your local animal shelter to adopt a dog, cat or other animal in need of a forever home.
And please spread the word about this event! 
I'll be posting photos and an update once the event is over, I receive my royalty check, and can send my donations into these two shelters. 
Remember: 100% of proceeds from the sale of BETWEEN during the month of July go to the Franklin County Animal Shelter and the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter.
