You'll never see me unless I want you to…

I am different. I have always been different, but no one can know or my life will be in danger. So I hide in plain sight, wearing drab clothes and thick glasses and trying to be invisible. I'm so good at hiding, no one has ever noticed me. Until Ian…the mysterious and oh-so-cute boy I know I need to avoid.

Now I have been seen. And more terrifying still, I am wanted-by those who would protect me and those who would destroy everything and everyone I love. But if they're all terrified about who I am, wait until they see what I can do…

Get ready for the exciting follow up to Atlantis Rising, dubbedAn enchanting debut from a promising new author of paranormal YAby Kirkus Reviews.

  After all they'd cost me, I thought I was done with the Truss clan. I was wrong. Nikki Dawning, my mortal enemy, has beenkidnapped, and I've been asked to spy on the Truss to find her. The pull between Ian and I has never been stronger, but he can't help me this time. I have to rely on Theron, a bad-tempered cousin I didn't know I had. To make matters worse, the people I trust have been keeping secrets.

  I'm starting to feel like a weapon in a war I don't understand. How far am I willing to go to protect the descendants of Atlantis and the common good when I'm not sure what the common good is anymore?

  Only one thing is certain. If I'm the next Laurel clan chief, I can't let myself be manipulated…by anyone.

Genre: YA Fantasy


In a few days, I'll officially be the Laurel clan chief-but it comes at a heavy cost. My human family, the McKyes, think I'm dead, and the only family I have left is my surly cousin, Theron. Plus the occasional visit from my dead mother.

  Gathering the fifteen clans of Atlantis is more tasking than I thought. Thank fate that Ian has my back, otherwise keeping the peace would be a total disaster.I want to give him my heart, too, but without an official likeness, or spontaneous pairing, it's only wishful thinking. To make matters worse, someone out there has the formula to createhuman-Atlantian hybrids. For a hefty price.

Guest Post:

What is your writing process? For instance do you do an outline first? Do you do the chapters first?

My process is ever evolving, but these days, I start with a simple outline by breaking the story into a beginning, middle, and an end. I figure out the character’s movement...where they’re at and what they’re doing as the story goes along. I write in approximations as to when I’ll raise questions and make reveals. I don’t want to get hung up on outlining and put off the actual writing, so they aren’t incredibly detailed. The small stuff comes to me as I write anyway.  

Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?

Some of them definitely come to me as I write. When I started the second book in the Atlantis Rising series, Theron Falco didn’t exist. I needed someone to get my main character, Alison, from the airport to the resort. Suddenly, there he was...this grumpy, sarcastic, great looking guy, who ended up being her cousin.

Is there an author past or present that may have inspired you to write? If yes please tell us who this author is and how they may have inspired you?


Barbara Mertz, who wrote under the names Barbara Michaels and Elizabeth Peters, has been a huge inspiration for me. Reading her mysteries and ghost stories got me through a lot of tough stuff in high school. I needed examples of strong women at that time, and her heroines were determined, intelligent, and unashamedly sarcastic. They always seemed to know something the rest of the world didn’t. On several occasions, I remember thinking that’s the kind of story I want to write someday.

I do think that Atlantis is a myth but fun to read about.

I love reading epic fantasy stories, especially those that I can share with my grandkids. This sounds like a wonderful series and I am looking forward to reading these books.
