The Elóhäna Chronicles: The Complete Series is now available in one paperback volume! (Click the red words!)

This single book contains the entire series—filled with adventure, humor, magic, and unforgettable fantastical creatures. The Elóhäna Chronicles is a faith-based fantasy series the whole family can enjoy.

Amazon offers a black-and-white edition, but for the same price, you can purchase a full-color edition through IngramSpark. The book is simply too large for Amazon to print in color.

Unlike the eBook, which has limitations on the images it can display, the IngramSpark paperback includes many beautiful full-color illustrations, bringing the world of Elóhäna to life.

Synopsis: 

On a perfectly dull street called Banal Circle sits a perfectly Ordinary house.

Well… mostly Ordinary.
Because inside lives Mia, a twelve year old elf who is, by human standards, very much not Ordinary. With her blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a book always in hand, she does her best to blend in. Which is not easy when you are hiding pointed ears and a destiny she is more than ready to embrace.

And Mia is not alone.

Alongside her equally unOrdinary cousins Lexi and Carter and their best friend Oliver, Mia is stepping into a world where danger is real, magic is everywhere, and peace and quiet is basically a myth. The kingdom of Elóhäna is under threat from Lamona, a would-be queen who's a master at being spectacularly evil.

To save their village and the magical world beyond it, the friends must face a battle that will test their courage, their faith, and their willingness to hold to the iron rod.
Suddenly, surviving middle school seems like the easy part.

Packed with adventure, humor, and fantastical creatures, The Elóhäna Chronicles is a faith based fantasy series the entire family will enjoy from bestselling author Sherry Gammon. This magical story proves one thing beyond all doubt:
Ordinary is highly overrated.

Dive in and discover just how unOrdinary the kingdom of Elóhana truly is.

The Elóhäna Chronicles Volumes Two and Three!

Volume Two will be released on April 16, 2026

Mia, Lexi, Carter, and Oliver are training harder than ever, determined to grow strong in the magical world. Between lessons and challenges, they look forward to their daily rides on Dayspring, the magnificent Golden-Horned Pegasus, whose strength and mysterious powers grow as he matures.

But peace is fragile in Elóhäna.

King Ari leads a relentless search through the rugged mountains, determined to find his dangerous sister Lamona before she strikes again.

Meanwhile, Jake and Cali discover that some battles are not fought with magic at all, as the feelings between them become harder to ignore.

As the hunt for Lamona intensifies, hidden truths begin to surface, stirring unease among the people of Elóhäna.

Adventure deepens, secret identities are revealed, and the young heroes continue preparing for the battle they know is coming.

                                Volume Three will be released May 15, 2026

Volume Three is the thrilling conclusion to The Elóhäna Chronicles. As long-hidden truths emerge and the nervously-awaited battle begins, Mia, Lexi, Carter, and Oliver and the rest of the students of Elóhäna Academy must draw on strength they never knew they possessed to stand against Lamona and her ruthless Squats. Separated from their families, the Young Warriors are determined to endure, to fight, and to break free of the evil surrounding them. Meanwhile, Dayspring works tirelessly to fortify the people Elóhäna, placing special hope in the Young Warriors.

Today I am happy to be part of Writers Persevere!, an event that authors Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi are running for the next few days to celebrate their release of their newest book, The Emotional Wound Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Psychological Trauma. This book looks at the difficult experiences embedded in our character’s backstory which will shape their motivation and behavior afterward. 
Because Angela and Becca have spent the last year exploring painful human struggles, they wanted to highlight a very important aspect of overcoming difficult circumstances: it can make us stronger. I promised to let Angela hijack my blog today, so please read on! ***Hi everyone! When you set out to find examples of inner strength, you don’t have to go very far. Right here in the writing community, we see it every day. Writers more than anyone understand the swirl of emotions as we work toward publication. We dream of making it and seeing our books in the hands of readers…yet doubt and frustration can be a constant companion. For us, there is a lot to learn, much to steel our nerves for, and unfortunately, a host of real-world problems that can try to derail us. And, even as we slowly move forward and grow, we can sometimes feel like impostors. This is a tough road.
But the fact that writers face this battle, day after day, and KEEP GOING…this should be celebrated! We need to be reminded that we are much stronger than we sometimes believe. We dream, create, and force ourselves to keep striving. Through the ups and downs, we persevere!
Have you encountered something on the writing road that made you question yourself? Have you faced an obstacle that required a force of will to get past?
If so, we want to hear about it! Join Becca and me at Writers Helping Writers from October 25-27th, where we are celebrating writers and their stories of perseverance. Stop in, and tell us about a challenge or struggle your faced, or if you like, join this event by writing a post on your own blog and share it using the hashtag #writerspersevere.  Let’s fill social media with your strength and let other writers know that it’s okay to question and have doubts but we shouldn’t let that stop us. 
GIVEAWAY ALERT! 
We also have a prize vault filled with items that can give your writing career a boost, so stop by Writers Helping Writers. I would love for one of you to win something that will help you get closer to your goal! If you struggle, remember to reach out to others. We are in this together, and by supporting one another, we cross the finish line together (and then keep going!). 
Happy writing!
Angela & Becca

Sorry I have not posted anything in forever and even sorrier I haven't written anything in a while. I totally lost my mojo! 
BUT, it is back. I'm working on a few stories now. I am close to being finished with the first one, but it still needs revisions and edits so it will be a bit, but I am working on it every day!
The title of my first new novel is Ugly Truths and here is the synopsis:
Drew’s plans for the future are all laid out for him...thanks to his father. He’ll graduate in June and go to Norte Dame on a full ride scholarship. Drew’s life is an open book . . . except for one little ugly truth.
Ali’s life is shrouded in secrets. She’s living in fear for not only herself but for her sister as well. Her mother’s given up on life . . . and her father? He’s the reason for her fears.
When Ali and Drew connect, sparks fly, only neither is sure that love is what they want or need at the moment. But you can’t always control chemistry.
As they grow closer together, Ugly Truths are exposed, truths that put them and their love to the test.
Here is the cover...for now. I have a tendency to change covers so don't hold me to this!



 The next story I'm working on is titled Unbreakable. It is the fourth book in the Port fare Series! The main character is...Hillary Jeffers! Yup, that mean, manipulative Hilly that tormented poor Maggie so. Yikes!!! Here is the cover...maybe;)



And the final story is titled Just a Diamond in the Rough . This is a short story (at least I think it will be;) and its MC is a writer who LOVES mysteries and she soon finds herself up to her "ankles" in one. It's a funny romance I hope you will enjoy.



And finally, I updated the cover to Unlovable. I've been toying with the idea forever and finally decided to bite the bullet. The hardcopy will have the old cover of the girl on the swing, but the ebook has this cover. What do you think??


Thank you so much for sticking by me. I really appreciate all your love and support. Write me a comment below and let me know what you think!

As we write, we can become consumed by the plot, by the story events that sizzle with conflict, tension, and intrigue. But what often holds readers in thrall are our characters and how they grow and change.

Who they evolve into, what fears they push past, how they take on pain to reach fulfillment regardless of the challenges—all of these steps in the character's journey, combined with the plot, can create a fascinating trek through the pages of a novel. And yet there's another element that's needed to meld the story and character arc together: the setting.

Choosing the right one for each scene is critical to give deeper meaning to the character's inner and outer journeys. The right setting can symbolize our protagonists' goals, remind them of their past, steer their choices through emotional triggers, and lend them the strength to soldier on, no matter what opposition stands in their way. But what if "the right setting choice" is one we haven't experienced ourselves first hand? How do we describe it?

Well, there's some good news on that front. Two new books have released this week that may change the description game for writers. The Urban Setting Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to City Spaces and The Rural Setting Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to Personal and Natural Spaces look at the sights, smells, tastes, textures, and sounds that a character might experience within 225 different contemporary settings. And this is only the start of what these books offer writers. In fact, swing by and check out this hidden entry, HOUSE PARTY, a location from the Rural Setting Thesaurus volume.
 
And there's one more thing you might want to know more about....
Becca and Angela, authors of The Emotion Thesaurus, are celebrating their double release with a fun event going on from June 13-20th called ROCK THE VAULT. At the heart of Writers Helping Writers is a tremendous vault, and these two ladies have been hoarding prizes of epic writerly proportions.

A safe full of prizes, ripe for the taking...if the writing community can work together to unlock it, of course.
Ready to do your part? Stop by Writers Helping Writers to find out more! Thanks for stopping by!

The only way out for David is disappearing into the dangerous warzone in Iraq.When their paths cross again, Cassandra and David find they have a common goal—to find Cassandra’s brother, Maj.

ExcerptMy mouth watered at the rare smell of bacon and eggs. My favorite. We seldom found scarce commodities like pigs and could barely afford bacon or other cuts if we did.“Come down for breakfast, Ziamara,” called my grandma.“Hold on!”The food smelled heavenly, although what I really wanted was something else entirely. Delicious, red liquid. But I only had one bag remaining, and I couldn’t waste it. Not when I wasn’t sure where the next one would come from.Staring at my reflection, I found it hard to believe I’d recently faced death’s door. Though a bit paler than it once was, my complexion had never been better. Not a single mark marred my skin—no reminders of my long hospital stay.I rose and went over to my full-length mirror, turning from side to side. My bones no longer stuck out from all my lost weight. In their place were some lush curves, exactly where I’d always wanted them. I smiled, never having been so pleased with how I looked.Regardless, I threw on an old hoodie. I would draw enough attention, and I didn’t need my figure to add to that. Another day.I ran a brush through my newly long, thick shiny brown hair. Even prior to being sick, it had never been so full of life.How ironic, considering I was now technically dead.Okay, I’d been more than just at death’s door. I’d passed through, coming back on the other side. It’s all semantics.
