❃ AWARD-WINNING PUBLISHED NOVEL ❃ BOOK I OF THE TRANSCENDENCE SERIES ❃ Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved. But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality--her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II. Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle's horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart. The Lost Valor of Love is the first book in the Transcendence series. Available to buy on Amazon as e-book, audiobook, and paperback. ❃Awards❃ Winner. Adult Fiction. Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2019.

When inspiration strikes, she's deadly... A poetic journey that explores the emotional side of learning maturity is something not measured in birthdays, "Ophelia's Wayward Muse" encompasses the hopes, fears, and dreams that accompany what it truly means to "grow up". It combines autobiographical experiences, thoughts about society and culture, and references some of the greatest muses, inspirations, and characters from mythology to modern-day literature. This book is not about Hamlet's Ophelia, or any other specific character, but about her journey into what she would become. It is the story of every lovesick teenager who became a self-rescuing princess and every angry, brooding young adult who learned to forgive and find a place in the world. It is the story of the lovers, dreamers, poets, ad artists who didn't see their place in the world, so made one. These poems are about every person who once longed to be the beloved inspirational muse, only to learn it is better to be the rule-breaking visionary. Cover credit to the wonderful @sourwolphe! Thank you so much. ******* First published in 2012, this version of "Ophelia" features some of the original works, but also newer creations from the perspective of an older, hopefully wiser, slightly less wayward muse.

*word of advice, if poorly written books annoy you don't read. If you do you better not complain in my comments lol* Never steal from kings. Especially the king of demons. She hadn't expected her young brothers to steal, she hadn't thought of that scenario or what she would do. So she does what she does best, put those who she loves the most above herself. "I'm sick of this. I'm sick of you!" He bellowed in my face. I took the mask off, "I just need you out of my fucking system." He says as he stalks closer to me. Our chests press together, I look at him coldly. Tears stingy my eyes and my throat tight. "Do what you have to do, my king." He rips the necklace right off my neck.
