Burning Down, Book 2 of the Trailokya series
Hi, everyone!
It's nearly spring and that means we're about three months out from releasing the next installment of The Trailokya Trilogy.
Burning Down has a fancy new trailer. You can view that on YouTube, or go to my page videos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg88C...
In this exciting sequel to The Shadow Soul, Burning Down returns readers to the world of Trailokya to find Captain Maiel on the cusp of an incarnation. Concern over her husband deepens as secrets unravel and the truth threatens her very existence.
Maiel tries to find solace in returning to family life and friends. Yet, her duties as Captain of a Moon Order squad are still on hold as she helps Dominic rise. So, too, it seems, everyone is on that same mission. Yet, in the wings, shadows lurk and keep watch, calculating their time to strike. Her memory a muddle, she relies on the testimony of elders for assurance that things are going to turn out all right.
On Earth, cloaked in the skin of a human named Holly, Maiel tries to remember her duty and protect her family, but the darkness is closing in. Friends are not who they appear. Loved ones are taken by vice and indifference. Is there anyone left to trust? The only certainty is that someone is going to burn down.

My New Book Is Out! Please Welcome: The Shadow Soul.
Hi, everyone! I'm really excited to announce the release of my newest novel, the first in the Trailokya Trilogy. The Shadow Soul is unlike anything you've ever read, and that's why I had to write it.
"THE TRAILOKYA TRILOGY, BOOK ONE: THE SHADOW SOUL, is a fascinating page turner that brings to the table everything a reader would want...an elaborate fantasy world that is both mesmerizing and brutal.
It’s rare that you see such a blend of themes in one novel. This is a world you’ll be hard pressed to leave, a world that is so detailed and intricately woven that you’ll yearn to return to it. This is just the beginning of a remarkable, spine tingling series."
- Kara Storti, author of the upcoming young adult novel, Indigo In D-Town

I'm gonna go cry happy tears. What a year I've been having. 3 out of 3 great reviews for my novel. I couldn't be more delighted.

Foner Fellowship Award Winner
*Is Wearing a Very Surprised Face* - Just got a letter that I have been awarded the Moe Foner Fellowship - for 2013-2014 - Social Justice and the Arts. This is so amazing! I don't know what to say, but thank you to whoever threw my hat in the ring.
My books have been about creating strong women and speaking on taboo social subjects. My trilogy will do no less and I hope to open a path to the silenced voices of domestic and racial violence, as well as animal rights.

Previews from Faith Fallen - Repost from facebook.

Snippets from 'Faith Fallen: Book 2, Burning Down' (work in progress).
**The rules... Go to page 7, 70, or 170 of a current Work in Progress orrecently published work and choose either the first complete paragraph or 7 lines of dialogue to share. Paste to FB and tag other authors to do the same.** (I did all three, and added more lines because otherwise it read weird.)
p 7
“You must stay together,” Tajael said, breaking up his thoughts.
“Well, that’s not likely now, is it? Tie-tie-”
“Tah-jah-el,” she pronounced slowly.
Gallo frowned at her.
“Perhaps this will work out just the same,” Tajael said, realizing that the trip was going to happen along with his parting from the other brothers.
“Very likely, as they will have one another, but I shall be alone with you. Yet, I have your assurance that you can face this monster alone. I’m not the least concerned, Tajael, unless there is something you’re not telling me.”
p 70
“You mean to say, when I reclaim my ketu,” Gediel corrected.
“I meant to say that there are those watching you, who believe that you may be tainted by darkness, and that the utmost care be taken,” Denius said.
“Ah—I see,” Gediel nodded. He frowned and shrugged, “Anyone in particular?”
“There is no need for names. You know who your friends are. You know your destiny,” Denius replied.
Gediel nodded, knowing the alder would not betray names. Denius was right, though. He did not need to. Gediel knew who watched. He was an expert in the art.
“Metatron,” Gediel muttered.
“One other thing, wolf leader. None in the council care what is done with the marditavya Dominic. The sooner he fades from Otzar, the better. His sulfur stench poisons other atman so long as he lies there. We’ve done what we can for him. It is time to let him go his path. It is his will,” Denius said.
p 170
“He’s a bad person.”
“What do you mean, bad person? A drug dealer? A demon?” Jett sneered.
“Yes.”
Their conversation stopped again. He listened to the birds sing in the trees. Another breeze blew through. The tone of her affirmation was all he needed.
“I don’t think you’re crazy. That would mean, I’m crazy,” Jett said.
Another pause.
“I need to see you, but I can’t leave. This sucks.”
Pause.
Jett rubbed the arm of the chaise, waiting for her to talk. He didn’t like her silence. He couldn’t be sure if she thought he mocked her or was being honest. He could barely tell the difference either. He’d been lying for so long.
