Works in Progress

Violet Haze

I am currently doing revisions on an exciting Cyber Punk/Dytopian Novel titled Violet Haze, the first in a trilogy featuring the recklessly, brave teen Aria Sheppard. Aria finds herself in the unexpected place of defiance against the almighty Maddoxx Corporation, while trying to juggle her loyalties to family, friends and the mysterious Colt Henson, the most rebellious and therefore dangerous, teen in her class.  


Violet Haze takes place in a post global-warming apocalyptic future taken over by Corporations and Technology, a place where you either choose to live in the cities protected by the Mega Corporation Maddoxx or be exiled outside the Cities to the wild. There in the Villages, crime is rampant, starvation is an everyday occurrence, and the people live like wild animals.


When Aria finds herself in a position of choosing between taking care of her young brother in the Villages or giving her mind over to the all powerful Maddoxx, her choice sets off a startling chain reaction that may lead to a Children's Rebellion- and war against the most technologically powerful war machine in history.



Awaken Me

Awaken Me is currently a work in progress, with a delicious romance, good versus evil (and don't think you know who is evil and who is good.... you won't!) and the dark and magical world of voodoo versus the supernatural.

The first book in a series, Awaken Me sets the sleeping beauty myth on it's head, featuring Camile, who had been asleep for nearly a decade, and the mysterious boy whose kiss could kill her or awaken her.  Once Camille begins to unravel his sescrets, her Prince Charming starts to sound more like the Prince of Darkness.  But angel or demon, witch or merely human... you are never quite sure who is good and who is the enemy.

Stay tuned for more on this dark, mysterious story set in the sultry, warmth of New Orleans. Entrapped in New Orlean's dark legends amidst the secret worlds of Voodoo, witchcraft and the supernatural, Awaken Me is a story of love and triumph, steeped in darkness and danger.
