Woot! My science-fiction short story, River’s Edge , has just been uploaded for pre-release. Told by a woman running away from a bad situation with hopes of finding better, it’s currently available on Smashwords for ordering, and will soon be available from all theother usual platforms . When my mother told me to run, I ran. I ran all the way to the river and then stopped—because the river was a frightening place, and forbidden by the raiders who came to take their annual toll of settlers. Faced with the choice of being taken, or taking my chances in the river, I took a step back, and hoped that somewhere, across the river I’d find help.

Just to let you know that Dear Tiger: Help Me Find My Sisters , the sixth book, in my Dear Tiger series is now uploaded and available for pre-order on Smashwords and Amazon, and will soon be available on Kobo. It releases on April 20, next Friday. Simone and Tiger are almost within touching distance, when their lives take dramatically different directions, but Simone needs Tiger’s help, and he faces a difficult choice. Does he try to join her, as she races to rescue her sisters, or can he be of more help where he is? And will this be the mission that ends with them together? Or will they be torn apart… again? Dear Tiger: Help Me Find My Sisters is the sixth chapter book in the Letters Across Space series. It can also be found in The Dear Tiger Omnibus , which compiles the first six books in the series into a single volume.

The first novel in the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series is now available for pre-order from Smashwords , and soon from Amazon. Book 1 will be released in April, and Book 2 should follow in May or June.   I ran away from home to find a better life—not be forced into one. You can call me picky, but a girl likes to be asked if she wants to work for you, not coerced—and Odyssey should know better. Now, I have to find a way to kick free—of Odyssey, and my trainer, Mack—without getting myself killed. Surviving the mission is just the first step. Getting out from under, that’s gonna take some doing.
