"According to legend, the world broke. The land rose from the sea and cast itself over the White Horizon. The people who could bend light, the coloured, were left behind."
Kaimana Dayra is less concerned with the fate of the coloured, and more so about her mischievous and adventure seeking brother. With their parents missing after a trek to find a lost treasure, Kaimana's masterful abilities with machinery, as well as the peculiarity of her own colour, keep them from the lower docks. But only just.
When her brother mysteriously vanishes, a price is put on her head. Now she is the target of the Blac Dove- an assassin with no loyalties to anyone - and on the run for a crime she doesn't remember committing. With the help of a bug crazy ten year old, a famed gypsy, his troupe of unlikely performers, and a hidden map only she can read, Kaimana can only hope that the secrets they uncover will lead her back to her brother. Even if the path takes her to cross the most perilous of all dangers: The White Horizon.

Siren Song (The Fated #1)
Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by MoranaComplete

A Pirate for the Dead Goddess (Legends of Rahasia Book 2)
"Farzaneh..." I pull her to me, flinching when my sleeve rolls back, her eyes drawn to the markings. On my bare skin's a map revealing a different tattoo, one for every person I killed.

My hakama, the color blue, blends into the folds of the red cloak around her, the effect like fire and ice. I bat my lashes, flex my muscles, all wiry from climbing the rigging when I get bored. "I'm just a boy." The look on her face is cruel. It reminds me why those chains are on her wrists. We're both cursed.

Red Thunder
A love spanning two cultures... I have lived on my family's homestead on the prairie all my nineteen years. It is all I have ever known, and it is Indian territory. My father told us that the Indians are savage, ruthless killers akin to wild animals. "They are not human," he said. But I did not feel that way at all. A hidden warrior... I have kept a a secret from my family since I was a little girl. One they cannot know. I made a friend at the creek one afternoon many years ago. An Indian. He was an Oglala Lakota boy who called himself Wakíŋyaŋ Lúta. Red Thunder. But after that chance encounter, he returned to his people. I had never expected to see him again, but one day, I did: as a virile young man, wounded and on the edge of death. And the feelings of friendship I had shared with him blossomed into something more... ~Full version now available on Amazon!!!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LVZ39T3/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= ~Highest Rankings: #1 in "Indigenous," #8 in "Warrior," #1 in "Settlers," #1 in "Colonial," #1 in "Healer" and #1 in "Native." #2 in "Prairie," #42 in Historical Fiction, #6 in "Horses," #460 in Romance, #3 in "Rescue," #1 in "Lakota," #1 in "Sioux."Complete
