Welcome to my website!

Hey FFFers! I have a shiny new cover to share with you.  But first, a little about the story.

Winter of the Bees (isn’t that an intriguing title??) by Angela R. Watts is a middle grade fiction story about a thirteen-year-old boy and his grandfather. 

Thirteen-year-old Niles Filzbin has a list of problems a mile long: his parents filed bankruptcy, his older sister ran away, he moved in with his whacky grandparents, and he’s stuck tending their farm of magical (or so Grandpa says) bees. One problem quickly tops the list--Grandpa is dying. 

Niles is running out of time to help his family, and learn about Grandpa's stories that may hold the secret to Niles's future, too. While the bees know that winter holds no good thing, Niles misses their warning. But maybe magic can be found in even the darkest of places... And maybe, just maybe, Niles isn't as alone as he feels.

Winter of the Bees follows an ordinary boy who must learn to say goodbye to people he loves… with the help of extraordinary bees.

Wow! Doesn't that sound amazing? I’m looking forward to reading it … even though I’m allergic to bees. But I’ll be safe as long as they don’t leave the pages of the book.  haha!

Before I share the cover, I wanted to share the Kickstarter link.

Hey, FFFers!  Looking for a fabulous and different kind of Christmas novel? WOW!  Check out this upcoming new release by H.L. Burke!

Marvel hero action collides with Hallmark Holiday goodness in this new superhero romantic comedy by Award-Winning author H.L Burke. Launches November 5th, 2022!

A Superhero for Christmas When superhero, Glint's, aka Henry Nichols's, powers go on the fritz after a supervillain attack, he finds himself rethinking his priorities. Years of devotion to public service have left him with little for himself, and with forty swiftly approaching, he finds himself longing for his youth on his grandfather's farm. An incognito vacation is just what he needs. Former reporter Lara Landis lost her career and her only long-term relationship all in one humiliating blow. Broke and rudderless, she retreats to her parents' small town grocery store to try and make one last career rally, but how is she going to get a big scoop living in the middle of nowhere? When a poorly disguised superhero lands in her neighborhood, insisting that he's just a normal guy, she can't help but smell a story.

As their chance encounters turn into a begrudging friendship, Lara is surprised to find a caring, sincere human beneath Henry's press-conference-ready exterior. When the truth comes out, though, her big story could turn into his worst nightmare.

What are readers saying about A Superhero For Christmas: Hallmark and Marvel got together to have a baby, Superhero for Christmas. An adorable heart-warming cozy read for the reader looking for some superhero charm with their rom-com.~Ticia

Christmas, romance, and superheroes...this story lifted my heart up, up, and away!~Ernie Laurence, Jr, author of the Islands of Loar series.

A cozy Christmas rom-com with superheroes… it doesn’t get better than this! ~ Brianna This story has all of the feels with, thankfully, not a thing that was sappy.

This is how I have always wished Hallmark holiday stories were written. ~ Veronica Lynn AKA Mrs. Spellsmith

About the Author:

H. L. Burke has written more books than she can count—because she's written a lot of books, not just because she can't count very high. Easily distracted by shinies, she has published in many subgenres including fantasy romance, Steampunk, and superhero, and always creates story worlds with snark, feels, and wonder.

Married to her high school crush, she spends her time writing, spoiling her cat, and supervising her two supervillains in training (aka her precocious daughters). An Oregon native, she wilts without trees and doesn't mind the rain. She is a fan of delicious flavor, a follower of the Light, and a believer in happily ever after.

hey, FFFers! I have a fabulous cover to share with you! It’s for The Island Siege by Esther Wallace. 

It’s actually a prequel. The story that started the Black Phantom Chronicles. 

The Savage War: The Black Phantom Chronicles Book 1 by Esther Wallace opens with an interesting conversation between Bozzic and his son, Arnacin, in which the father gives his eleven-year-old son documentation of an ocean-faring vessel, a legacy handed down from father to son over the years. In this first entry in The Black Phantom Chronicles, Arnacin receives this singular mission to recreate the vessel. Follow this epic adventure as he gets shipwrecked on the shores of Mira where he is attacked by savages fighting to regain their ancestral lands. Saved by the people of Mira, Arnacin pledges them loyalty. But he quickly finds himself embroiled in a war he never bargained for, unable to accept the actions of the king of Mira that only makes matters worse. Can he rebuild his ship and find his way home or will he find his destiny in Mira?

Sounds exciting, huh?

But you’re here to see the shiny new cover, right?  Well, you have to wait a bit longer, ‘cause I want to share a little about the story first.

As Arnacin is making his way home to Enchantress Island, war is brewing in nearby Elcan. No one has tried to conquer Ansky since the Sanguinea Peace Treaty. Yet Wilber, king of Evfel and regent of Ansky, plans to succeed… from the inside, purposefully nurturing bitterness and pride in his young nephew, Prince Evan Maxwell, in the hope that the people will reject the prince in favor of Evfel’s rule. After being orphaned, Evan’s only solace is in the horses of his father’s stable. He loathes the idea of assuming the throne and fears being forced into accepting his duties. Yet that changes when the wild stallion Darkfire enters his life and Evan meets the people of the magical Ice Woods, where his quest to discover his destiny begins. What follows takes Evan and Darkfire into the heart of Enchantress Island and the secrets sleeping there.

And NOW …
