Here is the new book cover for Embracing Ember!

Salin is facing a crisis.  Their female population is all but eradicated by a bio weapon --  a virus known as the Blue Death.  With no females to continue their people, they are facing extinction.  Earth is their last hope.

Ember married Landon, mistakenly thinking he was the answer to her lonely existence.  She thought that she loved him.  When he becomes abusive, Ember attempts to leave, but he isn't ready to let her go.  Five years later she finally sees her chance, only to be beaten to the brink of death...

Ceylon came to Earth at the request of the Council.  Since he lost his mate to the Blue Death, he has been barely surviving.  When he sees Ember for the first time she is dying, he risks Salin's plan for salvation to save her, not understanding this inexplicable need to save her...

She is broken, fearful and unable to trust. 

He is suffering, his heart broken, unable to love.

Will she learn to trust?  Will he learn to love? Or will they allow this chance at happiness to slip through their fingers?

When Ember is taken from Ceylon by Landon, he must face his guilt at losing his mate and save her, or live the rest of his life without the person who could be his salvation. 

I hope that you really like these characters.  Ember was a little spark in my brain at the end of Surrender Serenity.  Ceylon's character was initially just to illustrate the loss these people had suffered, but his grief called to me and thus, Ember was born, just waiting for someone to save her.  Of course, I had to let her attempt to save herself first.  As an ER nurse, I see a lot of the after effects of domestic violence and it breaks my heart to see what people do to those they are supposed to love.  What's worse is the never ending cycle it seems to be.

I hope that Embracing Ember is ready for release in Early March, but I will be the first to admit I let myself get behind...so it may be mid- to late March before it is released to Amazon.com.



Work in Progress

I am currently working on the second installment of Salin's Salvations series.  I started the series with Surrender Serenity:

Their planet was dead and their race doomed…

When the elders of their civilization realized they had overtaxed the resources of their beloved planet, they sent ships with members from their race to other planets in the universe that could support life. They died with their planet with the knowledge that their people would live on.

He came across the Galaxy searching for the answer to a dying race…

Eon’s people always took care of their planet of Salin, having learned from their ancestors mistakes. When a virus ravages the female population leaving most females dead and those who survived infertile, their people search endlessly for a way to save their people from disappearing from existence, but nothing seems to work. Out of hope and desperate, a seer gives them one last hope, EARTH. Chosen by the council, Eon and his lifelong friend Kylan embark on a journey to the planet which may hold the key to their race’s continuation. He doesn’t expect to find her, a girl he dreamed of as a child.

She was just a nurse content with her job but always feeling as if she were missing something…

Serenity doesn’t understand why she is so attracted to this alien and why she isn’t hysterical when he kidnaps her and her best friend, Anna. He touches a part of her long dormant. When he takes her to his planet, the virus that their people thought had been defeated threatens to steal her life. In those moments between life and death, dreams plague her, telling her that all is not as it seems.

Now I am following that up with Ember, a woman who trusted and married the wrong man.  She is saved by Ceylon, a broken hearted Salinian who lost his mate, Ashwin to the terrible disease that ravaged Salin,  Now she must learn to trust and he must learn to love again.  But, those pesky bad guys are up to their own brand of bad, so what is the fate of Salin?

Find out in Embracing Ember!

Tenative release to Amazon.com in early March!
