Raven's Fall

I've started a new series set in Iceland and focuses on one of my favorite heroines; Valkyries. Kiera Oliva has traveled the world, chasing the globe and completely unaware that her mother was once a Valkyrie, a warrior for the gods, who left that life far behind to raise her daughter away from it. But you can never out-run what you are. Chosen by the ravens who send Valkyries in search of her, Kiera will have to learn fast what it takes to become one of the Valkyries or fall.

Updates!

It's been much too long since my last post, and I thought I would share what's new and what I'm working on. First off I've adopted a baby elephant! Well sort of, I became aware of an elephant rescue; The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, this is a wonderful cause that rescues baby elephants who have lost their mothers because of poachers. I've also signed up for several photography classes, learning what the camera functions are and what they do has been a challenge, and I can now say that I know what Fstops, Shutter Speeds and ISO's are and what they do and why AUTO is your friendemy. Portraits are my main focus, in photography as the play of shadow and light can create such drama and fine details. Here is a portrait I took, and yes, that's my niece Grace, you'll recognize her from the covers on The Legacy Trilogy. As for my writing, I'm currently working on book three of the New Orleans Mysteries series and book five in my Zombie Novella ser

The Legacy Trilogy

I have brand new covers for Mishap and Mayhem, Chaos and Retribution! Not only do these books have new covers, but I've also named them under the series title; The Legacy Trilogy. I thought this was a good series title because this story has so much to do with family. I've already updated these onto Amazon and Smashwords!   I'll be sharing the cover for Mishap and Retribution in the next few days and hopefully I'll be able to share the cover for the Box Set I'm doing for this series!

New Orleans Trip 2014

    I recently returned to New Orleans, Louisiana! Its one of my favorite places to visit and I happened to be in town during Halloween with three of my closest friends. We met a few locals on this trip who suggested we try  'Eat' on Dumaine St in the French Quarter. We arrived early (about 9AM) and its a good thing we did because it filled up fast and the food was absolutely amazing!   After breakfast we took a tour at the St. Louis #1 Cemetery were I acted like a tourist and took photos with my Nikon D3100 (in Manuel Mode;) which I'm proud of) instead of using my phone as you can see my aunt and best friend doing in the foreground.       After our tour we took a walk through the cemetery.     We did stop by the Old Ursuline Convent, but unfortunately it's closed on Sundays.      Here is a picture of my friends in their Halloween costumes. From left; The Tenth Doctor, Harley Quinn and a day of the dead Sugar skull!
