As the story of Hunter and Kayla comes to an end in Forsaken, the final Academy of the Fallen novel, I find myself doing the same thing that readers often do... going through character withdrawals!  I already miss Hunter, Xavier, Ethan, and of course, my favorite stubborn character... Kayla. Forsaken was released on Kindle , Nook and Smashwords  a few days ago and paperbacks will be released on July 30th ( signed copies available for pre-order! ).  I'm loving the reviews that I got so far and I'm glad that readers are are enjoying the twists and getting closure as the series comes to the end.  As promised (and this wasn't easy)... no cliffhangers!  As much as I love cliffhangers, I would never end a series that way.  Of course, I can't promise anything with the other books. *evil grin* To celebrate the release of Forsaken, here is an awesome giveaway and thanks again to everyone who donated to the giveaway! I hope you enjoy the last book in the se...

Hi everyone!  Here is the synopsis for Sins of the Fallen, the third Academy of the Fallen novel! :)  The release date and cover will be revealed very soon!  This is my first synopsis written from a character's POV and I'm happy to share that several chapters in Sins of the Fallen are also from this character's POV.   So, here is... Hunter!  Happy Reading! ***Spoiler alert for those who have not yet read Nephilim*** Hunter I knew how much Kayla had changed over the past few weeks, but it was nothing compared to what I had seen in her from the moment we stepped into this place. The Kayla from before she learned about this world, was gone.  She was already attached to some of their kind and I could see that she felt as if it was her responsibility to protect them all, the haunted and the fallen.  She was starting to put them before her in every decision she made.  It started sometime before we left the Academy that her fathe...

Please check Facebook and Twitter for excerpts.  Here is the first one I posted: “... If this was to be our last night together, how would you want to spend it?” “I would want to spend it with you. Even if we had thousands of nights, I would want to spend every single one of them with you.” Happy Reading!

A Special Halloween Treat! Nephilim (Academy of the Fallen 2) - Chapter 1 Sneak Preview! Hunter Chapter 1 It had been over 24 hours since I was dragged away from the Academy’s clinic, away from Kayla, who was still unconscious when I left. They gave me two options: I would either have to accept that I was not allowed to see Kayla, or I would be on lock-down until further notice. I chose option three. I did go to my room, pretended like I was going to stay away… the next day, when everyone seemed to be going about their own business, I ran to the gates of the Academy, where I could summon Chase. Chase is a ghost, trapped on earth, but he knows a lot about the Otherworld, which was where Kayla had been trapped… for far too long. None of us at the Academy should ever be exposed to the Otherworld, the place where ghosts and demons wander around for most of their existence, but for Kayla, that was especially dangerous. Kayla, is one of their children, the o...
