  • Legacy Cover and Contents

    Since Legacy is coming out and I am very excited about it, I wanted to show off the cover a little. Because it is beautiful and it needs to be seen. And because it’s the last cover in the series, which means I won’t be getting any more of these!

    It’s bittersweet, is what I’m saying.

    legacy

    Not all magic is equal. Even hard work and determination is no match for skills passed on from generation to generation, each time being built upon and growing stronger. These old magic families have hoarded their secrets with every generation, using them to get ahead where they could – or leaving a mess for their progeny to deal with as soon as they have passed.

    Legacy delves into the people who have had the responsibility of generations passed down to them and how they use their family’s magic with the time they have left. This generation knows that eventually the End will eventually come for them and that they might not have much time to stop it. If they want to stop it at all.

    Pretty awesome, right? But, I’m nothing if not generous, so I won’t just be showing off the cover today. Here is a brief glimpse of all of the short stories that appear in the story as well:

    Foundations

    With the school nearly built, it’s time to start teaching the first students.

    Nostra

    John decides that just because his father is out of jail doesn’t mean he has to let his father revert business back to the way things were.

    As You Wish

    Breaking up is hard enough. When one person decides that the relationship isn’t going to end, sometimes it calls for drastic measures.

    Presently

    All of time keeps passing over Dawn in waves and she cannot quite figure out where or when she is anymore.

    Fair Warning

    Ciara knows that things are going to change, but she has no idea how much.

    Paperwork

    Thea knows that the Sibyl is working for the Syndicate now and she doesn’t like it. She likes going out to lunch with her even less.

    Teenage Exorcist

    Bree thought she was good at this whole dealing with ghosts thing. And then she moved to Vancouver.

    To Kill a Vampire

    At last, Victoria has found the man she must kill in order to be free of her curse.

    Mirror, Mirror

    Gabe finally heads home for a shower and some sleep to find his brother has commandeered his couch and brought their childhood nightmares with him.

    Absence of Answers

    Jason tried not to think too much about where he came from, but Dawn has the answers to everything he could ever ask. If he can just figure out the right questions.

  • An Introduction to the Twisted Eden Sector

    With Tales from the Twisted Eden Sector now under my name, and Evidence, the fifth book of the series ((Simya Academy is more of a spin-off)) coming out on September first, I figured I should at least talk a little about the series. Since I’ve been writing a lot of young adult urban fantasy, the more mature supernatural horror might require an introduction.

    Tales from the Twisted Eden Sector

    The magic of the world never really went away. It’s just been hidden, forced into back alleys and out of the public eye for so long that some don’t believe that it ever existed at all. Scattered across the world and hidden away into the back streets, there are many who know otherwise and make it their lives to hide it.

    They have more than enough work on their hands as they seem to be at the center of something big. The fabric of the universe seems thinner here than anywhere else. Their sector sees more enchanted items, dangerous people and strange creatures than any other. The appearance in recent years of children born with an innate ability to perform a single spell with no training in their sector and theirs alone has baffled them and flooded their files. Something is coming, but without knowing what it might be, they are forced to deal with it one case at a time.

    Every book in the series contains 11 short stories, mostly in chronological order within the book, and all of which are linked thematically. There are several characters that appear in several stories throughout the books at different points in their lives. ((In theory, you could follow just one character in the books, or even assemble the shorts on your own to follow the characters you’re interested in.))

    It is a largely nonlinear project, though. The books are told one on top of one another. For those who want to check it out, but can’t handle not knowing when one story happens in relation to another, I have a timeline you can check out here. ((A little out of date now, but I’ll be updating it soon!))

    If any of this interests you, do check it out. If not, don’t forget to vote in the book poll!
