Getting Back to Oz: Book Two – Dorothy’s Wisdom is available now!

Hey friends! Can you believe that it was just one short year ago that Book One in my fantasy adventure series, Getting Back to Oz was released?

Neither can I!

I am so excited to announce that Book Two in this exciting trilogy is available now via Amazon, Create Space, and your other favorite e-Reader platforms! Here is the back cover teaser blurb:

A farm girl. A witch. A magic compass. 

Having already survived the worst that Wonderland, Neverland, and the Arabian desert threw at her, Dorothy Gale wants nothing more than to wake up in her own bed on her aunt and uncle’s farm in Kansas.

The arcane enchantment on the compass of the Emerald City isn’t going to let go of her so easily, however.

Dorothy and her friends, Winifred Jones and Almira West (of Wicked Witch fame) instead find themselves thrust once more into one classic literary world after another. Bitterly disappointed at not getting home after their last adventure, Winnie has surrendered possession of the compass, while Almira’s magic has flourished, developing unpredictable consequences of its use.

In their desperate quest to survive, the three women face all new dangers—fairy changelings, eldritch monsters, and gothic vampires—leaving the burden upon Dorothy to discover the confidence to trust her own instincts and learn the value of her own inner wisdom.

After all, there is no place like home.

Getting Back to Oz: Book Two is just four months away!

Hi there friends, if you enjoyed my debut novel, Winnie’s Courage: Getting Back to Oz Book One, I am excited to announce that the novel’s sequel, Dorothy’s Wisdom: Getting Back to Oz Book Two will be published April 24, 2018 – just four months from now. If you didn’t enjoy my debut novel, it must be because you haven’t read it yet! Here is a preview of the cover for Book Two, along with a an exciting synopsis for the sequel:

Follow Dorothy Gale, Winifred Jones, and the iniquitous Wicked Witch of the West’s continued adventures as they face all new challenges in the literary worlds of Winnie’s favorite books. They will face greater dangers, intense challenges that will make them question their friendship, and find that the stakes are raised in ways they could never have predicted. Don’t miss Dorothy’s Wisdom: Getting Back to Oz Book Two when it’s released in April!

Immerse yourself in this fantasy world of Book One with three spunky heroines that struggle against challenges both individually and as a team.

What if the Wicked Witch were real?

In the blink of an eye, the three women are torn from the Witch’s castle in Oz and thrust into one fairy tale world of Winnie’s childhood after another. Fighting for their lives against man-eating apes, bloodthirsty pirates, and sadistic queens, they share just one common goal: to get back home.

Please enjoy a sneak peak:

Shrill yapping came from a corridor off to the left of the cage. The girl turned around, knelt on the cobblestones, and patted her lap. A small black dog raced across the courtyard to leap into her arms. She cuddled the dog for a few seconds, then set it down. She said some words to the lion, patted him goodbye, and left the courtyard through a wooden doorway in the wall on the far side of the cage.

I stared hard at her long, brown hair hanging in two braids down her back as they bounced in time with her steps, the little dog following close at her heels.

The clues had started coming together, thoughts flying around like a cyclone. A part of me deep inside didn’t want them to make sense—because then I would have to face the fact that I might have lost my mind, or worse. I might be perfectly sane, and all of this was actually happening.

A young girl with brunette braids, wearing a blue and white checkered dress.

A little black dog.

A patchwork scattering of straw and fabric.

A fearful lion caged in a castle courtyard.

Yellow-faced men slaving away in a yellow-grassed country.

A ferocious tiger-bear.

A Witch.

What makes an artist?

I was asked recently why I decided to become an artist, and it really caused me to stop and think – I honestly don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t artistic in some way. Art, like beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, but at it’s most basic definition, art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts, expressing the author’s imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power (per Wikipedia). 

So what makes an artist?

Simply put, it’s someone who makes art.

Yes, I know, its complex in it’s simplicity, but really, what you create is what defines you as an artist. My personal motto is “let me tell you a story,” because no matter what I do, I am trying to tell a story. I want people to feel something about what I have created, whether that is a short story, a novel, a painting, a sculpture, a drawing, or a craft. It’s a need that is such a deep part of my soul, that it is as integral to me as breathing – I simply must create.

I don’t know if this is the same for other artists, but from the ones that I have had the pleasure to get to know in my life, it certainly seems to be a common theme. So if you are an artist, what is it that makes you who you are? I’d love to hear from you! Let’s make the world a better place and create create create!

Josie’s Wraith, Book Four of the In Between Tales, is available now!

Hello friends, I am so excited to announce that Josie’s Wraith, Book Four of my supernatural short story series, the In Between Tales, is available for download as an eBook on Amazon now. The exciting adventure of Josephine Harper continues in this dramatic tale of one author’s struggle to escape the strange purgatory-like afterlife she finds herself in after her unexpected death.

You can check it out here:

Josie Harper has been stuck in the In Between since her death, a ghostly purgatory filled with dark shadows, malevolent entities bent on murder, tragic spirits doomed to relive their own death over and over, and even an unknown but seemingly helpful greater power, but she’s never been the target of evil herself … until now.

In the midst of growing her newfound telekinetic powers, and searching for the next lost soul in need of salvation, Josie inadvertently draws something to her, something filled with a deep, timeless evil capable of ruining lives with just a thought, and beyond anything Josie can manage herself.

An unexpected friend and an ancient book may be all that stands between Josie and the wraith bent on destroying her.
