Christmas Wish

Everyone thinks the Kringles only work in toy making. Nope. I slay monsters.

But when Christmas rolls around, I protect Santa’s sleigh.

So, technically, on Christmas Eve, I’m his little helper.

Most of the time, we deal with a stray rogue monster or two on Christmas Eve. But this year is different. It seems the monsters have decided they want to play with Santa’s reindeer and ring his bells.

If I don’t put a stop to this madness, not only will Santa be their next meal, but children all over the world will wake to a Christmas that never was.

Awakening

It’s been four years since I knew who I was.
Had I known I’d be robbed of my memory I’d have made a copy, but you don’t get that luxury. So I don’t know who I am, where I come from. All I know is I am here now, wading through raw sewage, muck coating my hands and knees, but that’s little price to pay in exchange for freeing these two from this place.
Perhaps if I could recall who I was I’d understand where my drive to protect these strangers comes from. Maybe I’d know why I ended up at the Facility. Yet I sense saving this couple is the key to unlocking my memories, to rediscovering my truth. I think, or is it I simply hope, that they’re the link to finding the person I was and who I am supposed to be; the answer to the voices in my head. The reason the stars call to me, as if I’m part of the fabric of space itself.
The morning sunlight ahead guarantees their safety, and will be the dawn of my AWAKENING…

Sorceress for Hire: Tales from Ondiran, Book Two

Freelance Sorcery at Reasonable Rates
Launching a magical career can be a challenge, even for a talented sorceress like Sinta, who—despite a naturally timid disposition—finds herself faced with spoiled rich clients, rampaging robbers, marauding pirates, and savage trolls (well, only the one, though it does have two heads).
Alas, in the course of her adventures, Sinta unwittingly makes a dangerous enemy, a high-born magician with the power and cunning to disgrace and destroy her. How will this humble apothecary’s daughter escape his nefarious trap and bring the schemer to justice?
Sorceress for Hire is Book Two in the diverting fantasy series Tales from Ondiran, but it is a free-standing novella. Reading Book One first will add depth but is in no way necessary!

Secrets Gnaw at the Flesh

A historically malevolent haunted house threatens to end a line of paranormal guardians. Will the family’s latest addition tip the scales in their favor or hurtle them toward their demise?
Garrett Mueller proposes to his girlfriend, Marie Renault. She rejects him, distressing him until he learns why. Her family watches over a haunted house, where every several years a Breach opens to the world of the dead. Everyone related by blood or oath must return, or the Breach widens, endangering the family and world at large.
To marry Marie, he must also bind himself to that house.
The Renaults estimate a week until the Breach opens, offering Garrett a short trial period. Despite the risks, he will try it for the woman he loves. The Renaults are professionals when it comes to the supernatural, and they’ve always prevailed.
Only, as the week progresses, the family discovers this Breach is shaping up to be one of historically dangerous proportions. Risks mount higher as secrets leak out, threatening to divide the family. And even if Garrett changes his mind, it might be too late to leave.
