Brief Author Bio:

Bio? What? I've got a novel to work on, I don't have time for a bio.

Synopsis: The Eight Lords of Haven

A hundred years ago, the fey were driven out of Haven and are starting to go feral. Caught up in the increasingly dangerous incidents, Holly and Clio must release the eight Lords that watch over the fey- only nobody knows where they've hidden themselves, and time is running out as more and more gruesome murders are attributed to rabid fey creatures.

There's action, mystery, romance, minute amounts of teen angst, bird-men, deer-women, nursery rhymes made real, and murders.

Excerpt: The Eight Lords of Haven

Eight lords sleeping till it’s foretold
By an old hand they will be stirred
One a tree that’s grown too old
One a sound that’s never been heard
One a shade that hasn’t a caster
One a light been swallowed by a bird
One hangs like a ghost in the sky
One in the shape but not sense of a word
One been treated, but never been cured
One a secret that’s never been told

Chapter One
I was staring up at the sole cloud in the sky passing over the quarter moon, driving home late from a night in with Clio, when a flash of pale skin jolted into my view from the side of the road. I swerved on instinct, smashing into the slender body of a woman, her face a blur as I slammed onto the brake and into the steering wheel.
