Synopsis:

The Revenants are coming. Only recently woken from their centuries' long slumber, the dragons are unprepared to face them. But when a legend is uncovered, revealing the existence of a lost tribe of mages, hope flickers to life. The race is on as Tyler Durand and Anwen Kaida rush to find this missing tribe while the others prepare for their last stand. But time and numbers are against them, and Anwen fears that even if they find the lost mages, it will be too late. 


First, let's take a look inside the book with this 
Excerpt:

Anwen felt her heart palpitate painfully. It squeezed the breath from her lungs as fire coursed through her veins. She gasped out loud as pain similar to her soul scars flared with white-hot agony. But instead of centering on her limbs, the pain hit her side and chest. “No,” she exclaimed as she doubled over, realizing what it meant. “Tyler!” she screamed. The crystal sword fell from her hand, leaving her unarmed.
An image came to her mind as she lay on the ground, her whole body trembling. She could see Tyler wreathing on the ground like an agitated snake. Dark steam issued from a gaping wound across his side and middle. The wound frothed like an angry tide.

And now for the Cover

Book Tour: GUINEVERE: AT THE DAWN OF LEGEND





"Think before acting," her father always warned. But Princess Guinevere is ruled by her heart. Her betrothal to King Arthur has not changed this.

When Guinevere and Cedwyn's latest adventure takes a dangerous turn, they find themselves embroiled in a life-or-death struggle as foretold by Merlyn's Goddess of the Stones.

Renegades--foiled in their attempt to kidnap the princess--steal the children of Cadbury Castle to sell as slaves. Guinevere and Cedwyn vow to rescue the children, but a miscalculation puts them all in more danger. The plan quickly unravels, and Guinevere's impassioned decisions come crashing down as Cedwyn chooses to turn his dream of becoming a knight into reality. Will their courage be strong enough to survive, or will one make the ultimate sacrifice?"








I’m a retired high school English teacher. A devourer of books growing up, my profession introduced me to writings and authors from times long past. Through my studies and teaching, I fell in love with the Ancient and Medieval Worlds. Now, I hope to inspire young readers and those Young-at-Heart to read more through my Tales and Legends for Reluctant Readers set in these worlds—Ancient Egypt, Medieval Wales, and coming soon, a hair-raising adventure through ancient worlds in search of 5 rare Phoenix Feathers.

All of my books come with Free study guides and/or extensive Back-of-the-Book materials.

My husband and I love to travel. In 2008, we spent three weeks in Egypt traveling by local train from one end of the country to the other; in 2014, we spent three weeks in the UK driving over 1700 miles through England, Wales, and Scotland; and in 2016, we spent a week in Iceland. We’ve also traveled to Mexico, Jamaica, and Aruba. Our next big adventure will be to Greece and Italy.


When I’m not writing or traveling, our 4 grandkids keep us busy.

This middle-grade book is a continuation of an earlier story, although it reads as a story within itself. Young fifteen year-old Guinevere, betrothed to King Arthur, does not stay home and sit on her hands while she waits for her future husband to return from fighting the rebels threatening Briton. She proves herself a strong and capable young woman as she and Cedwyn, the son of a knight, go on their own adventure to the Wizard’s Stones where they each received instructions and warnings from a goddess. Thus, the two start on a non-stop adventure that blends Christianity, myth, pagan wizardry, and medieval legend. This is primarily young Cedwyn’s story, as he fulfills his charge to assume the role of a knight.

The characters were well-written. I loved the illustrations, and thought they added to the book. Guinevere proved a brave and courageous friend to Cedwyn who came into his own in this book. The story was one of action, and it did not sugar-coat the violence and dangers of the times. Its cliff-hanger ending suggests that the story will continue in another book.

Book Tour: PRE-MEDITATED MURDER by Tracy Weber







If Kate Doesn’t Act Fast, the Only “I Do” in Michael’s Future Will Be at His Trial




Yoga instructor Kate Davidson is ready to marry her boyfriend Michael, so she’s disappointed when a special dinner doesn’t end with a proposal. But disappointment turns to dismay and outrage as she learns the real problem: Michael is already married and his estranged wife is blackmailing him.

When his wife’s body is found―by Kate and her dog, no less―Michael is strangely unable to remember where he was the night she died. Since Michael has no alibi, Kate steps up to uncover what happened. What she walks into is a tangled web of deceit, obsession, and immigration fraud . . . with Michael trapped in the middle.

Finding out the night Kate expected her live-in boyfriend, Michael, to pop the question that he was not free to do so did not bode well for the relationship. However, once he returned to where his estranged wife lived, followed by Kate and friends, there is a flurry of activity, questionable characters and false leads in this cozy murder mystery. The stories within the main story added depth to the overall primary plot. The story line kept me guessing who-done-it until the end.

The author definitely has a way with words which added greatly to my reading enjoyment. She also crafted excellent characters with distinct personalities and quirks.  The personalities of the furry characters were almost more engaging that those of the people. I thoroughly enjoyed this murder mystery full of romance.
