Book Three of the award-winning Undone Realms Series! Clara and Nolan have been living happily together in their hotel-sized pocket realm for almost a year. But is everything truly all right now? Clara has her doubts. Something seems...off to her. This feeling only intensifies when a stranger shows up at the hotel. He can't see them, but he seems to know they're there. The day Nolan split himself in two, he leaves the hotel with a goal in mind and an empty place in his heart. It doesn't take long for all of his plans to be tossed to the wind. Rather than the Canadian border, he finds himself crossing into an entirely new universe where he unwittingly becomes part of a multiverse rescue mission. Avie is in exile. From her daughter. From Marcella. With Oliver and her family gone, Avie is forced to live out years in a world that has grown increasingly hostile to everything she holds dear. Her only desire is to survive long enough to be able to return to her daughter. But when a dangerous man shows interest in her, she fears all of her efforts will end with a noose around her neck. Interconnected stories in multiple realities; escapes, rescues, murder-all converging in a climax that may save one world while destroying another. Welcome to the conclusion of the Fold Series!

2014 WATTY WINNER!! (Collector's Dream Award for being one of the most want-to-read stories of 2014!). A Wattpad Featured story, and a Summer 2015 #WattpadBlockParty featured book! Undone Realms series: bk. 1 Out of countless realms in the multiverse, Clara is trapped in one that won't let her breathe. Her life consists of a hotel in a tiny pocket universe overlapping our own. Population: one. She doesn't know how she came to be there, how she can exist without breathing, or why she can see into the breathing world, but no one can see into hers. Nolan doesn't know any more about parallel worlds or pocket universes than Clara does. Running away from his abusive father, he finds work at the hotel. Depressed, Nolan wants to disappear as much as Clara wishes to be seen. There is little hope that they'll share anything beyond a palpable loneliness until the morning the barrier separating their planes of existence is breached and for the first time, Clara's unseen world is made visible. As Nolan is slowly drawn into Clara's breathless reality, he must decide whether the love of one person is worth crossing into a world that may never let him back into his own.

[2013 Watty Finalist] Thea Gibson lives a normal life. She waitresses at her local bar, pays her bills on time, has a secret crush on Detective Josh Cooper and let's her friend Shae drag her to parties when she'd rather be curled up at home buried in the latest paranormal fantasy.

Hermes tells her she is a reincarnated deity, with latent powers she must remember so she can return the recently escaped Cronos back to Tartarus. Thea refuses to believe such nonsense but with the strange things happening around her, Thea begins to discover that fantasy is more closer to reality than she once thought...

Jeffery provides a contrasting point of view as he navigates the choices he makes in his own life. Alchemy is the fourth of five books exploring the lives of Eve and Jeff Lambert.

Atropa Belladonna Book Summary Eve has recovered from the devastating aftermath of an obsessive affair. She appears to have established a new life with a loving, surrogate family where she can raise her lover Jeff's illegitimate son and secure her reputation. As she embarks on an independent life, Jeff writes to tell her he's been recently widowed and asks Eve to marry him. After tragedy strikes again, Eve is drawn back into his orbit. She moves to Chicago and begins a new life as his wife. Before long she finds herself trapped by his violence. Fearing the worst, she devises a plan to save herself and her children. Atropa Belladonna poetically illustrates the complexities of love, marriage and abuse in the context of the 1950s family. ***Atropa Belladonna is a sequel to Exuberance Is Beauty, my historical novel set in the late 1940s. While Atropa Belladonna is a stand alone novel, it does reveal the plot details and the ending of Exuberance Is Beauty very early in the book.
