After more than a year of blood, sweat, and tears, both metaphorically and literally, I am proud to announce the release of my debut novel, Getting Back to Oz: Book One, Winnie’s Courage. This novel is the first in a trilogy filled with witches, magic, pirates, mad queens, and all sorts of fairy tale mischief.

What if the Wicked Witch were real?

Winifred Jones wakes up barefoot and bruised in a strange dungeon instead of her cozy San Diego apartment, and things just get weirder from there when she stops Dorothy Gale from murdering the Wicked Witch, accidentally releasing a magical tornado trapped inside a golden compass.

In the blink of an eye, the three women are torn from the Witch’s castle in Oz and thrust into one fairytale 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.

Pick up Getting Back to Oz: Book One Winnie’s Courage today, and join Winnie on her quest as she discovers if she has the courage to return home, or stay lost forever in literary lands both familiar and dangerous.

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.

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.
