The next chapter is live! 
          Even a warrior princess must swap her sword for dancing slippers. At her sister's coming of age ball, Celestia balances secret adventures, diplomatic intrigue, and a forbidden attraction. The most dangerous dance of all might be keeping her heart in check while maintaining royal appearances. Some battles can't be won with a sword.

Chapter 6 in Threads of Destiny is now live! 
          What started as an innocent evening of carnival delights takes a deadly turn for Princess Celestia and her sister Eva. After a mesmerizing fire-juggling show and sweet treats under the stars, the sisters' desire for one last adventure leads them back to a mysterious fortune teller's tent. But instead of card readings, they find themselves surrounded by armed thugs in the shadowy carnival grounds.
          
          When Eva is taken hostage, Celestia must put her secret combat training to the test in a real fight for survival. Help arrives in the form of the enigmatic Prince Tae-kgi of Uruk and his royal guards—including one particular guard whose intense gaze captures Celestia's attention even in the midst of danger. But their timely rescue comes with complications: the prince recognizes the disguised princesses, and it becomes clear that this attack may not have been a random act of violence.
          
          As the night draws to a close, questions multiply: Why were the attackers targeting the Uruki prince earlier? What darkness did the fortune teller see in Eva's future? And what sinister forces might be gathering beneath the festive surface of the solstice fair?
          
          Step into a night of adventure, danger, and intrigue as Celestia discovers that sometimes the greatest threats lurk behind the brightest celebrations. Will you join her as she navigates this perilous evening and begins to uncover a mystery that could shake the foundations of her kingdom?

In a kingdom where diplomacy reigns and danger lurks in the shadows, Princess Celestia defies royal convention. By dawn, she trains with the castle guards, wielding sword and strategy alongside her closest friends. By day, she studies herbs and healing, diplomatic arts, and the intricacies of foreign cultures—all while navigating the delicate balance of being a princess who refuses to fit the traditional mold.
          
          As her beautiful older sister Eva's twentieth birthday approaches, the kingdom of Eridu bustles with preparation for a grand solstice festival. But beneath the excitement lies tension: Eva has come of age for marriage alliances, and suitors from across the seven kingdoms are arriving to vie for her hand.
          
          Celestia's world is one of fascinating contrasts. Her mother, a survivor of the treacherous Valorian court, insists on training her daughters to resist poison. Her best friend Yosef harbors a secret crush on Eva. Her beloved tutor, Do Hak-kun, brings tales and teachings from far-off Uruk, though his presence in Eridu hints at deeper mysteries. And Celestia herself carries the weight of her mixed heritage—her Valorian features marking her as an ill omen to some of their distinguished guests.
          
          When the sisters sneak out to experience the solstice festival as common folk, they encounter more than just carnival delights. A cryptic fortune teller warns of approaching danger, and underlying currents of tension ripple through the celebrating crowds. As night falls and inhibitions loosen, Celestia's trained eye catches glimpses of something darker stirring beneath the festival's glittering surface.
          
          Step into a richly crafted world where political intrigue meets personal destiny, where a princess must balance duty with desire, and where the magic of possibility dances with the shadow of danger. Follow Celestia as she finds her own path to destiny amid the swirling tides of change approaching their kingdom. Will you join her on this adventure in Threads of Destiny?

Chapter 4 in Threads of Destiny is now live and available to read!  I will continue to publish chapters every few days.  I hope you will enjoy reading about Princess Celestia. Her world is about to be shaken! Everything will change!

Threads of Destiny is my new work. I'll be publishing chapters every week. I'm really hoping you will check it out! It starts in the kingdom of Eridu and follows 17 year old princess Celestia as she becomes a refugee in the very foreign and different land of Uruk. It's a story of survival, adventure, romance and coming of age. Here is the synopsis: 
          Fierce princess. Foreign land. Deadly stakes.
          A realm of chains. A rebel heart. A destiny unwritten.
          Princess Celestia, born with a wild spirit and raised to embrace freedom, finds herself far from home, a prisoner in a gilded cage in a land where a woman's worth is measured in silks and silence. Her every attempt at escape is thwarted by her shadow-a guard whose piercing gaze and quick wit match her own.
          As Celestia navigates a nest of vipers, with suitors circling and assassins lurking in every shadow, her homeland erupts in flames. Her family, once invincible, now stands on the precipice of oblivion.
          Trapped between two worlds, Celestia must transform herself from captive to conqueror. In a deadly game of power and passion, can she rewrite the rules and claim a future of her own making?
          One princess. Two kingdoms. An impossible choice that will ignite or extinguish empires.

Hope to see your comments soon.
          
          The older, original works need some revision, which I hope to turn to once "Threads of Destiny" is completely posted.

Hi everyone!  I started some formal editing in august then got side tracked when Hurricane Irma came through and created quite a bit of a mess.  No power for over a week in the entire county!  Lots of wind damage and flooding.  Clean up is moving along now, but there are still signs of the hurricane everywhere.  I'm sure my experiences will help inspire my imagination for the post-apocalyptic world Angel and Dante live in.  I will be back to the formal editing.  Please leave me feedback as you read!  Or just say hello!

I have begun some editing on Angel Awakens.  I apologize to readers if as you get into the later chapters you find some discrepancies.  Please comment and let me know of anything you find!  Thank you.
