Hi. I've written two #novels in an ongoing #youngadult #highfantasy trilogy. They're called Mystical Greenwood and Beneath the Deep Wave.

If you like #fantasy #anthologies, I've contributed #poetry and/or #fiction to Faery Footprints, Fae Dreams, and Into the Glen: Into the Light.

If you like indie Scifi/Fantasy with romance, adventure, sword/sorcery, necromancers/monsters, reluctant hero MMC, genius-level FMC, blend of science/magic, and an epic battle of good vs. evil, you'll enjoy my book:

"Archblade: Legend of the Defiler"
