After an unexpected two year hiatus, The Firebird Chronicles welcomes its sixth installment. Echoes of Insurrection is out on all retailers. The print edition is uploaded and should start going live in the next 72 hours. I really hope you enjoy Kira’s latest adventure. I had so much fun spending time in her world and…
Whew. What a difficult end of the year/beginning of the new year it has been. Due to a variety of personal and business reasons that I don’t feel like getting into, I think this has been my most stressful release yet. But it’s done. I finished my final readthrough of Echoes of Insurrection yesterday and…
Happy New Years! Echoes of Insurrection Chapter One “Nothing is ever really truly gone.” In rest, Elise’s features held a peaceful repose that had been missing for as long as Kira could remember. Gone were the sorrow and pain that had been chiseled into each line of her face. She looked young. Shockingly so. It…
Fans have already started leaving posts on the blog that they’ve preordered their copy but this is the official announcement. Echoes of Insurrection is available for preorder on Amazon with a go live date of January 14. Because I’ve already started getting questions: Yes, there will be an audiobook.

Firebird 6’s publication is officially delayed until the first week of January. My editor unfortunately suffered an injury that has slowed her down. Rather than ask…
The third draft is done and off to the beta readers and my editor. Thank you to everyone who signed up to beta read. We had over a hundred submissions. I actually increased the number of beta readers to sixteen this time because of how many there were. Every time I finish one of these…
On Wednesday, I announced draft two was done via Facebook. I may have jumped the gun a little. A few hours sitting with what I’d written, I decided it wasn’t in good enough shape to be considered a true ending. Too many loose ends had been left unaddressed. Even after two days fixing it, I…
If you follow me on Facebook, you know I announced that I’m in the lead up to the final confrontation of this book. Exciting stuff. And to celebrate a snippet. Snippet “Talon?” Kira lifted up onto her elbows. “What are you doing here?” The oshota broke off another piece of the galaxy lolly pop with…
At this point, I kind of feel like my climax and ending are actively avoiding being written. I know almost all of what I want to happen. There is a scene list and everything where I break down all of what still needs to make it into a book. I just can’t seem to get…
