Crossing the Waves of Time.
Two Women – One Entwined Destiny.
Igraine, mythic mother of King Arthur, and Morgan, Sorceress, and daughter of the legendary Merlin. Both have their futures planned for them, tied to the fate of maintaining a magic Veil that protects the Kingdom from Wessex invaders now that the Romans are gone. The Veil’s magic is powerful but requires sacrifice and King Geraint is convinced it must be maintained at all costs if the Kingdom is to survive.
Igraine lives a sheltered life in Tintagel as a royal princess, kept safe in the castle at the edge of the sea, the High Seat for the Kingdom of Dumnonia. For years she has been preparing for a union to protect her people – a union with a man she does not love and a future trapped by duty. Her friendship with a sailor, Arthur Spear, and his rogue shipmates is not as innocent as her father would believe. Arthur and his friends are Igraine’s window to the world and nurture her greatest wish; Igraine wants to sail away, to visit Constantinople, and see the sights she’s only dreamed of from Arthur’s stories. Duty, however, cannot easily be denied.
Morgan has served as her father’s apprentice, doing his bidding and learning many of his magical secrets. But when his plans would harm innocents, she finds herself at a dangerous crossroads; is she the dutiful daughter or wrathful outcast. A chance meeting with Mordred, Prince of the Dark Fae court, proves more eventful than she knows.
The story weaves between the “dark ages” of early Britain and 1984, on the wild coast of Cornwall, at the archaeological dig at Castle Tintagel. Can fate be changed? Can a stranger from the future alter their world and our past? The Dark Lady of Tintagel tells the beginning of King Arthur’s story as you’ve never heard it before. A new twist on an old tale - the first in the Queens of the Mist saga.
Legend, Lore, Myth, and Magic. Can a fierce spirit overcome destiny?

BURNED TO A CRISP
A Gingerbread Hag Mystery Book One |
It’s been two months since the fiery events of Burned to a Crisp, and it’s Christmas in Enumclaw. Hedy is back to hosting visitors in her waystation, while Mel and Darro are decking the halls and telling tales of Krampus in between batches of cannibal Gingerbread Men cookies—just another Christmas at The Gingerbread Hag bakery.
But the holiday spirit isn’t the only thing making its way through Enumclaw. Something definitely from the naughty list is attacking the local farms and the children are possessed with mischief. Hedy’s worries increase when the Concierge sends someone to investigate her house and possibly shut the waystation down for good.
Who’s been naughty, and who’s been nice? Not every gift under the tree is one she’ll want to open, but Hedy better hurry, before all of Enumclaw gets caught In the Teeth of It.
IN THE TEETH OF IT
A Gingerbread Hag Mystery Book Two |
Snow blankets sleepy Enumclaw just before Valentine's Day and threatens to derail all of Hedy's efforts. Demonic cupid cookies and pierced heart cakes may go uneaten, but that's hardly the worst of it. Romantic woes of her own and long-lost friends from the past bring danger that could turn this Valentine's Day blood red for everyone she loves. Revenge is a dish best served cold, but will a fiery temper hellbent on retribution send everyone at the Gingerbread Hag bakery to its breaking point? Twists, turns, and betrayal make this a winter holiday that Hedy would like to forget. A Sweet Tooth and Claw might mean the end of her little supernatural waystation and so much more.
