SEAMS IN REALITY is the first book in the Seams in Reality Series.
As a freshman in a suburban college near Chicago, Andrew leads a mundane life until he meets a professor named Tonya. She is secretly a master sorcerer, and she invites him into a conspiracy of magic. Only those few who possess exceptional talent may join. A resourceful young woman named Charley has the same supernatural gift. She accompanies Andrew on his journey into a dark profession, and romance quickly blooms between the young apprentices. When Andrew meets Blake, a sorcerer who knew his grandfather, Andrew becomes embroiled in a game of lies and treachery. Blake’s thirst for power leaves a trail of casualties, and in the end, only Andrew can stop him.
CRACKS IN REALITY is the second book in the Seams in Reality Series.
The Vault is a fortress in the desert protected by the United States Army, and it contains the most dangerous, forbidden secrets of sorcery. Blake, master sorcerer and fugitive from justice, has a plan for robbing the place. He will create a tangled web of lies to trick the Army into delivering the treasure into his hands. He intends to use the stolen knowledge to destroy his enemies and become the most powerful sorcerer on Earth.
Two apprentices are on a mission to kill Blake. Andrew is a war mage, a genius at psychic combat. Charley is a young woman who commands physical sorcery. Their instructor, Tonya, will turn the two teenagers into warriors capable of defeating Blake, if they can endure the extreme mental and physical tests.
Tonya’s training is just the beginning for Andrew and Charley. They must discover Blake’s hidden objectives, and they don’t have much time. A government agency called the Bureau of Physical Investigation has the same assignment, but the agents are unprepared for the dangers they will face. Other surprising threats await the apprentices as they pursue their enemy along a trail of bloodshed.

Hi there friends. As you know I am an author, blogger, reader, wife, and dreamer. As a dreamer, I have a message to share with you today, but before I do that, I want to tell you the story of Abraham. This isn’t the Abraham some of you may be thinking of. No, he’s the major supporting character in my latest book release, Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel.
Abraham’s tale is one of rags to riches during the time of The Great Depression. Abraham starts his life poor and desperate. Even though he’s a nice guy and looks on the bright side, that isn’t enough to keep him content. Soon he finds a way to better his life and make his dreams come true, but not without consequences to pay later. He reminds me of a more popular character of that period, Jay Gatsby, but their tales are very different.
Now in the winter of his life, Abraham has served many roles, but the ones of devoted friend and mentor are the ones that define who he has become. Having once been Giovanni’s (the book’s hero) savior, Abraham is now solely reliant on the aid of his young friend as he struggles with and suffers a battle with cancer. When Mira (the book’s heroine) enters his life, Abraham is more than happy to fulfill the greatest desire of her life. He becomes like a father to the little girl, now strong woman, who has never had one.
Eternal Curse is a not-so-typical paranormal romance that may just define a whole new genre. At this time, I would like to invite you to experience Abraham’s story within the tale of Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel and, in turn, help me to give to a worthy cause.
Just as cancer has plagued the lives of the characters in my book, it has also struck a nerve with me after the recent loss of a loved one. During my period of grief so many other struggles, battles, and memories of friends and family dealing with cancer came to mind and I decided I wanted to do something.
So, for today and for the next two following days (6/16 thru 6/18) I’m offering 50% proceeds on all registered sales of my books to the American Cancer Society. Since I’m asking that all sales be verified or “registered”, I’ve set up a sweet little Eternal Curse themed giveaway to hopefully entice you into participating. Since this cause is what matters most to me right now, you may also have the option of making a direct donation without purchasing any of my books and still be able enter the giveaway…I’m cool like. 🙂

On a completely separate note– I have an author friend with a very ill child currently being treated by CHKD. Because of the extensive care the child needs, this author and his wife have had to seek extra and side jobs to pay for the outstanding medical bills. I thought this would be a good opportunity to promote his novelette. He has no idea I’m doing this, but I’m sure his family could benefit from some additional book sales.
Get this; if you register your purchase of his book, Deadblood, you’ll be able enter that for a chance to win my prize (I guess I’m in a major season of giving right now). Remember, he has no idea I’m doing this and is not offering proceeds of his work at this time (I will make $0 from the sales of his books). I just thought it might be nice to share his story.
