I’m excited to reveal the cover for my upcoming young adult paranormal fantasy, The Sword Unsheathed!  What do you think?  The location on the cover is important to the continuing story because important scenes in this book and the next occur there.  Can you guess where it is?

I’m doing a giveaway on Facebook (open to US followers only).  Comment on the cover reveal post–telling me your guess of the location–and you could win a signed copy of either the first or second book (The Cauldron Stirred or The Stone Awakened) in the series.  Your choice!  The giveaway is open until 11:59 pm EST tomorrow (March 5).  Enter here and good luck!

In the meantime, here’s the scoop on The Sword Unsheathed:

Ashling Donoghue is no closer to finding her parents than she was the night they disappeared. But hope returns as her brother Kian channels the Sword of Light, revealing past-life secrets and truths long suppressed.

The more she learns, the greater she fears the darkness that drowns the Netherworld also drives her. Is Aengus her true love, or is it Lorcan? Does her future wait in shadow or the light?

One point is clear: the threads of her past-self are woven inextricably into the tapestry of her soul. An impossible choice looms before her, and all the while, evil is poised to strike.

I finished my read-through of the final galley yesterday and turned it in to my editor.  We should have a release date soon.

Wishing you a lovely Wednesday!  🙂

Great news!

I’ve had a lot of deadlines lately!  August 1, I sent my editor the completed manuscript of The Sword Unsheathed, the third book in my Guardians of Erin young adult paranormal fantasy series.

Two days ago, I turned in the final galley for Night of the Owl, the fourth of The Novels of Ravenwood medieval romance series.  I hope to reveal the cover for that book soon!

Today, I’m working all day at The Witch House (the 17th-century home of Jonathan Corwin, one of the 9 judges during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692).  But tomorrow, I’ll be listening to–and marking corrections for–18 chapters’ worth of audio files for the audiobook of The Stone Awakened, the RONE Award-nominated second book in my Guardians of Erin series.

So there’s a lot going on!  I’ll have more news soon.  In the meantime, I’m wishing you a lovely day and week ahead.  🙂

Good morning, and happy Wednesday!  I’ll be writing up a storm today to meet my fast-approaching deadline for The Sword Unsheathed, the third book in my Guardians of Erin young adult paranormal series.

I’m also visiting two other blogs today.  Author Jean M. Grant is interviewing me and sharing an excerpt from the RONE Award-nominated The Stone Awakened (Guardians of Erin, Book 2).  Check it out here!


Also, Kameron Brook is showcasing my medieval romance Flight of the Raven, the first of The Novels of Ravenwood.  The excerpt she’s sharing is “the moment of truth” for Lady Emma of Ravenwood Keep, whose wedding night is about to take an unconventional turn.  Read it here!


That’s all the news for now.  Have a beautiful day!  🙂
