About the Author
Greetings and salutations readers!
I have been told many times that my work is akin to 'peeping through the keyhole', that it is 'emotionally raw' and 'utterly believable'. These sentiments are pleasing, to be certain, but I leave that up to you, the reader, to determine for yourself.
"There is no real ending. It's just the place where you stop the story." ~ Frank Herbert

From Ashes Arise, a dark urban fantasy.
Teresa Parker grew up in the foster care system, having been abandoned by nameless and faceless parents as a baby. Taken in by a family that promises adoption when she is fifteen, she is rapidly disabused of all notions that love without ulterior motives is love at all. Suffering at the hands and manipulations of her foster-father, and having dreams of turning into some strange giant bird of flame and gold feather who maintains vigil over an equally strange and endless rainbow colored sea, Teresa is quickly drawn into Allentown's ugly underbelly of drugs. The drugs dull the dreams and she ages out of the system at eighteen, moving from recreational drug user to full time dealer to support her growing habit. Fifteen years later the dreams return, and so does her younger foster brother Seth. However, being fifteen years her junior Seth doesn't remember her nor she him. They know each other only as client and dealer until one night they hook up and Teresa remembers who he is, and what his father did to her. Confused and horrified at the connections between the dreams and Seth Teresa avoids contact until the dreams become too much for her drugs to handle. She returns to Seth and finds unlikely aid in his strange friend Errol. Only Errol has the answers she needs to make sense of her dreams and the intense fever that has wracked her body since the lascivious night she spent with Seth. Who is she? Why is she dreaming of being a bird, and what does it all have to do with Seth and his family? Errol's answers confound and terrify her for they speak of worlds and lives beyond her own. He has come to save her, to take her back and restore all that her disappearance has cast asunder but time is limited. Will she come to believe in time to save herself and everyone that Errol claims depends upon her? Find out in From Ashes Arise.
