HURRY HOMEFOR CHRISTMAS
…sweet, romantic, exciting, wonderful…” Four Stars – JessiAnn, reviewer OnLineBookClub.org
In a nod to Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Hurry Home for Christmas is a tale of redemption in the holiday season.
Eve Noel Nolan has spent longer than she can remember giving the Christmas Spirit the cold shoulder. For this reason, she avoids returning to her smalltown home of Connor Falls during the holidays. This year, however, she is unable to fashion a good reason to stay away.
Between her gregarious family, the odd dream or two, and the appearance of man with the improbable name of Jacob Marley, her life is headed for a big change.

I KNEW IN A MOMENT
“…enchanting…full of heart and charm…” Pikasho Deka for Reader’s Favorite
Unexpected changes compel Nikki Sharp to seek employment and refuge in Connor Falls, where she decides to hide out for the remainder of the holiday season. All Nikki wants at this point is an uncomplicated life. It seems Connor Falls may be able to offer her that very thing—until she meets Rory Hollis, a carpenter with a sadness in his soul that has turned him away from everything he loves.
Forced by circumstance to work side by side with him, Nikki discovers there is more to Rory Hollis than he lets others see. However, helping the man find his way back into the world where family and friends—and now Nikki Sharp—are waiting, may take a Christmas miracle.

THE GARLAND BALL
“Funny and compelling…an absolute delight. Author Robin Maderich knocks it out of the park…” Pikasho Deka for Readers Favorite
The Garland Ball is coming, and Prince Charming is nowhere to be found. Cinderella couldn’t care less.
In this light-hearted holiday tale set in the small, fictional town of Connor Falls, Pennsylvania, Cindy Michaels finds herself unexpectedly in charge of resurrecting the defunct Garland Ball. Add to that the stress of running her own business, Cinderella Silks, and the fact the committee has decided no one should attend the ball without a date of some sort, Cindy’s usual joy over her favorite time of year is waning.
Sure, she understands not going solo brings in more money for the charity the ball benefits, but for some reason her best friend insists Cindy’s plan to buy a second ticket doesn’t send out a proper message. In their efforts to be helpful, friends and family set her up with dubious results, giving her just cause to consider taking her cat in his own kitty tux. Does a Prince exist for this independent Cinderella?

THE SHADOWS WE MAKE – BOOK ONE
A beautifully crafted SF dystopia, boasting relatable characters and a skillful plot.” BookLife Reviews
“…high stakes adventure…thoughtful worldbuilding…strong emotional themes.” Five Stars – K.C. Finn – Readers Favorite
A desert warrior, a con-artist, and a promise. Destiny.
Grace Irese, a headstrong, sixteen-year-old desert warrior, has crossed the wrong man. In a world being violently ripped apart by his ambitions, the new Revered dictates everything, including the price Grace will pay for her infraction. Torn from family and home, she is remanded to an off-world juvenile facility called the Emerald. Her sentence? Life.
Duncan Oaks, wise-cracking, teenage con-artist, has done the unthinkable, something which shames him to the core. He, too, has been sentenced with cruel intention by the Revered to life imprisonment on the Emerald. Duncan finds himself facing the mortifying truth of his actions every day, with no hope he can be redeemed.
But Grace is not one to give up. Neither is Duncan. Together, they embark on a hazardous journey no one has ever before attempted. More than their own freedom, they seek to save a young, gifted child from the Revered’s control. Their hope? A promise. Because a warrior’s promise is everything, even to the boy who betrayed her.

THE THRICE-GIFTED CHILD – BOOK TWO
“…a page turner…intricate… gripping…doesn’t allow your attention to waver for a single moment.” Pikasho Deko for Readers Favorite
“…imaginative…suspenseful…memorable…” BookLife Reviews
Troubled. Gifted. Unpredictable. Hunted.
Grace, teenage warrior, Duncan, former Grif-Drif, and their companions-the mystic and the doctor’s thieving son-might easily be described in those terms, but none more so than the recently rescued Resa, Duncan’s sister. Fleeing a tyrannical warlord, Grace leads her friends into The Wilds, a province devastated by long ago violence where the inhabitants are reputed to be fierce and intolerant. Yet, Grace hopes to find much needed answers from the mage descendants who might be residing there. Duncan and the others desire only a place to rest and regroup, safe from the violent man and his soldiers hunting them down. But as grandmother-quoting Duncan likes to say, “out of the frying pan, into the fire,” an adage that will prove more prophetic than any of them expect.

THE SLEEPING MYTH – BOOK THREE
“…plenty of fascinating action, deep character-building moments, and great imaginative plot twists… I highly recommend it…” K.C. Finn, Readers Favorite Five Stars
“…stellar storytelling…The Sleeping Myth is dazzlingly magical, inventive, and thrilling…” Book Commentary Five Stars
Brave. Wounded. Determined. Betrayed.
Following their escape from captivity and mayhem, Grace, Duncan, his sister Resa, Mika and Carina head due west through the mountains, “into the setting sun”—the only directions provided to the legendary destination known as the Cavern of Sleeping Myth. With their new companions, they seek the faraway land on a promise they will finally find answers to the prophecy regarding three of them, the warrior, the witch, and the thrice-gifted child. However, nothing comes easy and there is always a price to pay. Injury, heartache, betrayal hound them as surely as do the warriors of their enemies who seek what they are, what they possess, for their own purposes. The Sleeping Myth is not quite what they have been assured, either, and might very well separate the closely bound friends forever as they head into a snowbound realm of old magic and ancient science.

IN DARKNESS WE BREAK – BOOK FOUR
“…a startling and action-packed conclusion to an exciting series…Ash’s character development is exceptional…” K.C. Finn, Readers Favorite Five Stars
Lies. Deception. Darkness. Hope.
Time has run out. I feel it in my bones. In my blood. In my heart.
Darkness is descending. Duncan knew. He thought he’d keep it from me. From me and our companions. Why? Because he sensed the truth behind it? Maybe. Maybe not.
It doesn’t matter. The Darkness is coming for us all. I don’t know which among us will survive. I only know I cannot choose. But I can fight beside them, for them. Right unto the very end.
Grace, Duncan, and their companions have survived their passage through The Sleeping Myth. Not unscathed. Not unchanged. Not without a whole new set of problems. Yet, the time has come for the teens to stop running. To face what is coming. To uncover the last secrets and meet their enemies. Skilled and gifted, they look to each other for strength, stand together in a bond like no other, but will that be enough?
In Darkness We Break, book four in the young adult Shadow Journey series, combines science fiction and fantasy in a mesmerizing finale to entrance mature readers of any age.
