Hi everyone. So, I'm trying something new. It's another young adult work I'm calling THE LAST SEASON, a dystopian romance set in a Victorian era themed world. I just posted Chapter One and hope you will check it out. Here's the blurb: 
          
          It’s the first day of the Season on the utopian world of Nuevo Victoriana, and Bridget Claremont will meet her state-appointed betrothal candidates. Getting married is supposed to be every girl’s dream, except Bridget doesn’t want to get married. She wants to be the first female student at the Royal Cybernetics Academy. That, and to figure out why her attempt at creating Artificial Intelligence failed just before her Academy presentation. 
          
          When Bridget is matched with the enigmatic Prince Kaseom d’Jorax, a secretive branch of the royal family that has never put forth a candidate before, she should be thrilled. He’s the absolute catch of the Season. However, it’s also possible his family knows why her AI crashed. As far as Bridget is concerned, she’d rather die than marry Kase. Worse, he’s so arrogant and smug, she can’t decide if she wants to kiss or strangle him. She’ll go through the motions of the Season, but when it’s over, she plans to get back to what really matters.
          
          But once Bridget and Kase are paired, Nuevo Victoriana’s alien protectors, the Ragnari, take an intense interest in their courtship. Bridget finds herself drawn into a world of intrigue and royal machinations she can’t begin to navigate on her own. And when her fledgling AI discovers the Ragnari are hiding a secret big enough to undermine all of Nuevo Victoriana, Bridget will need to work with Kase to stop them. Otherwise, the world as she knows it will no longer exist.

In a massive publishing sprint, I have published the final chapters of KEEPER OF THE HEART. The book, and the trilogy, are now complete. It's been a while since I last uploaded anything, and I'm not sure if people are still interested in reading this book, but for my part, I'm just glad it's done. I hope people will still read and enjoy this story regardless of its flaws, which I know are numerous. It's been a rough couple of years for me with my mom suddenly getting sick and passing away, then having to make the hard choice of putting my dad in a nursing home, and all the accompanying nonsense that goes with these things. Still, that's life. It's hard, but what are you going to do? You just have to live it despite how cruel and terrible it is. There are still good things out there that hopefully balance out the bad. I'm just glad I was able to finish this book, as it's been nagging at the back of my mind for a while. Now I finally feel free to move on to other projects. Thanks for reading.
