Middle Grade Novels
The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle
"Witchy magic, Nazi menace, and clockwork all come into play, along with an Enigma machine and spies for both the Allies and the Nazis seeking occult sources of power or protection. After the breathtaking climax, various threads of the story are tied up in a drawing-room denouement in which the characters decide to dispose of toxic magical artifacts rather carelessly—though in a way that invites anticipation (and fortuitously leaves room for sequels). An original, clever, page-turning adventure.” Kirkus, starred review

Young Adult Short Stories
Unbound
Rooted in ancient myth, these stories follow women who change—physically and emotionally—to claim their power.
In Unbound, women step out of the shadows of ancient myth and into their own power. Drawing on mythic traditions of goddesses, nymphs, and mortal women shaped and tested by gods, these stories reimagine transformation as an act of survival, resistance, and becoming. Through physical and emotional change, each woman claims what was denied her: autonomy, voice, and strength. Lyrical and fierce, Unbound is a collection about breaking free from what confines us, and discovering who we are when we do.

The war is now a storm long past, but the scars still linger, and they are deep.

However, the courage to face the memories once more comes from a chance encounter with a reflection of the tattered soul within.

Faced with war and grief and the constant threat of terrorist attack, their love blossoms slowly. But blossom it does. When the Coalition rebels see Serena's feelings for Irvad, they are taken as treachery, and Irvad's loyalties are tested as he tries to balance his lover's safety with his duties as an Imperial soldier.

Shy, scared, and surrounded by carnage, Aaron must find his courage and become the man he wishes to see in the mirror.
But when the Coalition insurgents separate him from his unit, Aaron must team up with his bully to survive and maybe even find some piece of his sister's courage within himself.
A Song of Shattered Stars
The war is no longer new. The wounds are deeper, the cost heavier—and Commander Sophia Trotsky has come a long way from the blood-soaked fields of Kadesh.
Now, on the bridge of the aging CSS Ernest E. Evans, the man who might end the war lies in her sickbay. His survival—and perhaps the fate of the galaxy—hinges on the choices she makes next.
To save him, Sophia must become the commander no one believes she can be.
But when a wolf pack of Imperial destroyers descends, her crew is thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Outgunned, outmatched, and flying a relic of a ship, Sophia must fight—not just for survival, but for something greater.
Waltz of War
Aaron Strand, a hardened assault trooper of the Earth Empire, no longer flinches at war. When sent behind enemy lines to destroy a Coalition superweapon, the mission is clear—but the cost is not.
