"I was hooked from the opening line, blown away by the detail and mesmerized by the characters ... I think I found myself a new favorite author!" - Brandi Salazar, Fictitious Chronicle
In a world destroyed by the abuse of magic, one woman fights all odds to survive and find the answers behind her mysterious past.
Despite the challenges - crazed magicians, guitar-playing assassins, mutated beasts - she pushes on with a single-mindedness that may destroy all she holds dear.
"... an unusual and powerful novel of betrayal and revenge, loss and redemption. With a unique and compelling protagonist, a world of darkness and wonders, and a narrative that is both swiftly-paced and unpredictable, THE WAY OF THE BLACK BEAST is sure to entertain." - David B. Coe, Crawford Award-winning author of the Lon Tobyn Chronicle

Want an all-out survival tale on a mysterious alien planet? Want another kicking heroine? Action-packed science fiction fun is waiting for you in After The Crash
"A good, solid story" - Robert A. Metzger, Nebula-nominated author of Picoverse.
The job is simple - land illegally on the unspoiled planet Cicora, drop off two aliens and a human, collect the pay, and go home to life as a tourist pilot. Oh, and ask no questions. But when Fiona Quinn's ship crashes, she is stranded on a strange planet with a gorruff, a mahtree, and a man. And all she has is questions.
