A lost princess. A deadly contest. One chance to save all of dragonkind, and Zilferia.

Crystal Shay grew up thinking she was normal. When she’s taken to the magical realm of Zilferia, she finds every belief challenged. Surrounded with people insisting she’s their lost princess is one thing, but having the burden of saving an entire world thrust upon her is another. Struggling to come to terms with the existence of magic, dragons, and a royal family she’s supposed to be a part of, she’s unprepared for an even bigger revelation.

Whether or not she believes in her destiny, she’ll need to be prepared for the coming war, or lose the lives of hundreds of people- including her own.

Two sisters find themselves in a magical world of supernatural creatures and a book that just might send them on a path to find their destiny.

It is the lack of having supernatural abilities that makes Noelle a non-believer. Anya, her younger sister, believes in almost everything, and tries her best to change Noelle’s view of the world, including reminding her they are part shifter.

It isn’t until one morning during a ride into work with her uncle, the town sheriff, when Noelle begins to question her disbelief in all things supernatural. She has a premonition which sends her and Anya on a quest to find a book that may lead to their destiny. A destiny that takes them through a portal into the Faerie realm.

If you love books about magical faeries, shifters, and werewolves which also includes mystery, action, and adventure then this is the book for you!

I Almost Gave Up On This


ranchers-daughter-cover-1

Rancher’s Daughter is now available on Amazon.

I started writing this novella back in 2006 or 2007. I had been out of the Navy for a few years and I was going through a rough time so I kept pushing the book aside. I almost gave up on writing altogether.

I honestly didn’t know I had saved the file on this novella. I had moved several times since then and thought it would’ve been lost or tossed out like most of my stuff had been.

Last year, I was moving things around the house, setting up my office as my author business began to expand. As I was shuffling things and rummaging through boxes, I found a few boxes of old magazines, notebooks, journals, etc. Things I found too important to lose, apparently. I thumbed through the journals and notebooks when I stumbled upon notes I had scribbled down on this one novella I had started years ago. I turned a few more pages and found the whole story typed up and printed out.

My curiosity was peaked now. I turned on the computer and opened up the files on my thumb drive, wondering if I may have this story saved somehow. Sure enough, I found it. I smiled, thinking that it was some miracle I still had it. I must’ve been able to compile ALL of my works together onto one jump drive years ago and simply just forgot about them.

Through the years, I had purchased a handful of jump drives, saving whatever writing projects I had. I had lost all but two of those jumpdrives. It was a habit for me to open more folders to save newer projects in, abandoning older folders that had old writing projects that I had started and pushed aside. However, all of these folders was saved on this one jump drive.

Now with the file found, along with my notes, I sat down to read through it all carefully and decided to give it another go. Since it had been a few years since I had read this story, I was able to have a fresh start on it; new scenes, new ideas, new title, etc. It wasn’t long before I had added to the story and edited it, before turning it into one polished novella and sending it off to my editor.

Now, I get to see it as I had intended for it years ago as a published book. You can purchase Rancher’s Daughter as an ebook on Amazon.

One Year Publishing Anniversary


It’s been one whole year since I had published my first novel, Chaos. I decided to do something to celebrate. I lowered the ebook price to $0.99 on Amazon.

I would lower the paperback price, too, but Amazon wouldn’t allow that due to printing cost.

So, if you haven’t been able to download a copy to your Kindle yet, now is your chance. In a few days, the price will be going back up.

Supporting Other Indie Authors


support indies

I’ve been reviewing books on Amazon and Goodreads for indie authors for a few years now, I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of blogging about them.

So, I decided to try something different. Being an indie author myself, I know how hard it is to get the word out there when it comes to promoting and marketing my work. There are a lot of ways to market your work, yet most of them are out of the budget range, especially if you are just starting out which means you can only promote your work here or there.

With that said, I decided to create a blog where I will post my indie book reviews, as well as author interviews for any indie author out there looking into promoting their published works or looking into building their online presence.

I know there are quite a few book bloggers already out there, but one more couldn’t hurt, right?

It’s FREE marketing!

It’s FREE, which means I’m not charging anyone to market their books. If you are an indie author and think you are interested, check out my blog here. Or, if you are looking for something interesting to read, visit my blog and click follow.
