In a world shattered by storms and ruled by fear, hope is a rare and precious thing.
Tali, a determined seeker with a mysterious lavender shard, journeys through battered towns and haunted ruins alongside her loyal companions—Tobbie, whose optimism is as stubborn as his metal frame, and Kixar, a fierce guardian with secrets of his own. Together, they heal the wounded, mend broken lives, and face the darkness lurking in the hearts of desperate survivors.
But magic comes at a cost. Each healing drains Tali’s strength, and every act of kindness risks stirring resentment and danger. When the trio arrives in Lucent, a city gripped by the enigmatic Mother Adeline and her powerful Crystal Temple, they uncover a web of secrets, corruption, and enslaved children. To free the innocent and restore hope, Tali must confront her deepest fears—and discover the true power of the crystals she carries.
Will you dare to walk the road with Tali and unlock the secrets of the crystals?
Writer of Fantasy, Shifters, Apocalyptic, Space Fiction
I write stories for readers who love adventure, survival, transformation, and hope — no matter the world the story takes place in. My books span fantasy, science fiction, apocalyptic and end‑of‑the‑world stories, shifter tales, and young adult adventures. What connects them all is a focus on characters pushed to their limits, unexpected bonds, and the choices people make when the rules of their world change — or disappear entirely. Whatever the genre my stories fall into, my goal is always the same: to tell immersive, emotionally grounded stories where courage, loyalty, and resilience matter. Living in the Southwest, I continue to write stories that blend imagination with realism, danger with hope, and adventure with heart.
