The Seven-Petaled Shield (epic fantasy trilogy, DAW): Elemental magic existed before mankind was born, and for good or ill, some of this magic seeped into the world, eventually coalescing into a monstrous entity of Fire and Ice, a threat to all humanity. Aided by his six brothers, a legendary king found the means to stand against this incarnation of chaos, forging six magical crystals surrounding a single luminous core: the Seven-Petaled Shield. With it, they subdued the entity and imprisoned it in the far North. But with the passing of generations, the king's line faltered and his once-great city, Meklavar, diminished until its importance was all but forgotten. Yet within its walls the remnants of the Shield still held power.
As the city falls, its newly widowed queen, Tsorreh, flees with her adolescent son, Zevaron, and the heart-stone of the Shield, seeking refuge in her mother's homeland -- but there may be nowhere in her world where refuge can be found.
Unaware of the legendary Shield and hungry only for a
mighty empire, the king of Gelon has begun a march of conquest. But
what could have been merely ruthless ambition becomes potentially
cataclysmic when his unstoppable army turns toward Meklavar.
For with the removal of the heart-stone, the ancient power of Fire and Ice strengthens, spreading its malevolent influence across the land. And this time there is no legendary king to stop it -- only Tsorreh and her son, caught in the chaos, desperate heirs to a shattered Shield.

When a crippled Terran spaceship makes landfall on an alien world.
The Terrans land, unaware that their advanced technology threatens the fragile balance of power for the native race. Aliens, for whom gender has a very different meaning and whose instincts can drive a crowd to madness.
Despite the Terrans best intentions, misunderstandings mount and violent retaliation escalates. Soon everyone — scientists and soldiers, rebels and lovers, patriots and opportunists — are swept up in a cycle of destruction.
A revised version, with maps and bonus materials, will be released October 2020 in ebook and print editions. It's available for pre-order from Barnes and Noble, and Amazon and other outlets (Kobo, Apple, GooglePlay, Scribd, etc.) The print version will be published on the release date, and your local bookstore can order it through Ingram.
Hungry for "a wild and woolly journey through time and space," some really cool aliens, and a touch of romance?
The death of her scientist father had left Kithri to make her own way in a rough and tumble mining community. And while she was probably the best jaydium miner on the planet, working alone she would never be able to earn enough to escape this dust bowl of a world for the opportunities to be found in space. So when Eril arrived in port, ostensibly looking for a way to make some quick cash, Kithri agreed to take him with her on a mining run.
Neither Kithri nor Eril could foresee that they would soon be adrift in time -- courtesy of a bizarre chain-reaction between an unstable jaydium deposit and Eril's force whip -- and unexpectedly linked with Lennart, a spaceman from an earlier era in galactic history, and Brianna, an anthropologist from an alternate universe. Suspicious of one another, and each certain that his or her own space-time is the right one to be in, the four have to join forces when they find themselves transported to an earlier time in the history of Kithri's planet. A time when an alien civilization ruled over what was then a lush water world. A time, too, when the very presence of the humans might push this civilization to the brink of destruction....

"A beautifully constructed fantasy with characters who grow and mature before the reader's eyes and who are engagingly human while being fantastically heroic. Her writing flows and the point of view switches are interesting and exciting. This book is a keeper."
Rickey Mallory, Affair de Coeur
"A style and manner reminiscent of McCaffrey's Crystal Singer series." The Bookwatch
"An unusual saga that starts slowly but builds to a startling climax." Sherry S. Hoy, Kliatt
"Solid characters and a well-designed world make for good reading." Philadelphia Press
"The plot moves briskly from crisis in Laureal to capture by the Norther barbarians to discovery of the true meaning of the Northlight of the title, with ample foreshadowing from the mysterious spooky something in the air of the frontier. And the culmination quite satisfactorily evokes the sense of wonder." Tom Easton, Analog
