Current (Writing) Projects

• Midnight Sun — An 'epic' fantasy set in a magical world where practitioners either perform their spells during the light of day or only in the dark of night. Once every generation or so, a child is born who can perform day magic at night and night magic during the day. This person, called the "Midnight Sun," acts as a harbinger, proclaiming that the structures that allow magic to function properly need to be reset. And only the Midnight Sun can reset them. The current Midnight Sun, a young woman named Serendipity Waters, must undertake a quest to preserve the forces of magic in her world. She encounters allies and enemies along her way, as well as love interests, challenges, and unique opportunities. Will Seren complete the ritual to reset magic and keep her world running smoothly? Or will her failure cast the world into chaos as the forces of magic spin free from their bindings?
• Themes: adventure, coming of age, romance, equality, duty, female protagonist, teenage protagonist, first person narrative

• Elsewhere — A classic fish-out-of-water story about a modern young woman who discovers that her world isn't entirely what it seems. After an uncomfortable encounter with a supernatural threat, Evangeline decides she needs to learn everything she can about the hidden world of magic and monsters. Her guide, a Thaumaturge ("NOT a wizard!") named Leo, starts to gently initiate her into the Wider World of Weird, but a supernatural threat forces Evangeline to learn on her feet in a dangerous crash course of monsters, magic, and mayhem. Will she and Leo make it out alive? Neither one of them intends to go quietly, regardless of the odds against them.
• Themes: Romance, female protagonist, first person narrative, alternating narrative (maybe), fish out of water, discovery, adventure, self-reliance, trust, xenophobia, diplomacy, acceptance

• Anti-Hero — Teenager Antony Blake doesn't want to be a superhero, but after being struck by unknown energy, Antony periodically (and uncontrollably) transforms and gains special abilities. He is unable to transform back into his normal form until he finds the crisis that caused his transformation and rescues the victims.
• Themes: Duty, reluctance, friendship, action, adventure, coming of age
• Tags: #antihero, #comic
• Untitled (Keeper's Daughter 3) — Yes, I'm still working on it!  It's been a struggle, but I do plan on finishing the trilogy and letting the world know how the story ends for Kara.

If any of these sound interesting to you, please let me know! I'll start posting some snippets and maybe a couple preview chapters in the next few weeks.

Love,
