After a late night (no way was I going to sleep- too excited), The Forest Beyond the Earth is live on #kindle!
Paperbacks will be available soon (within the week).
Under the watchful eye of the Mother Shrine, twelve-year-old Wisp ekes out a simple, but challenging life with Dad, foraging for food and losing herself in old books from the world that came before. She loves the Endless Forest―except when the Tree Walkers come for her.
In ages past, the great rain of fire and ash destroyed the Earth, wiping out the ancients and everything they had made. Nature has reclaimed much since then, spreading out in a vast forest full of wonder and dread. Ever in fear of being taken away, she follows Dad’s rules without question while learning to survive off the land.
No longer a small child, she accompanies Dad on one of his treks, her first time more than a few steps away from the cabin. A day exploring with him is the happiest time of her life, but joy is short-lived.
A monster follows them home.
Safe in her Haven, she hides while Dad goes outside to confront the beast. She wakes alone the next morning, and waits. Alas, her hope of his return fades with the daylight. Desperate, she breaks his strictest rule and goes outside alone. Not far from the cabin, she discovers his rifle abandoned next to the monster’s strange footprints.
Afraid but determined, Wisp sets off on her own into the Endless Forest to find Dad―before the Tree Walkers catch her.

Welp… It’s January. Figure it’s probably time for me to emerge from the writing cave and poke my head up on the blog a little. There’s a lot going on these days. I’ve been writing up a storm with J.R. Rain, working on edits for imminent releases, and recently finished a new MG post-apocalyptic novel, The Forest Beyond the Earth, that I’m going to take a stab into the world of self publishing with as an experiment.
Many thanks to the awesome beta readers who have (and are) reading over it while I wait for the cover and interior artists to work their magic.
Today is the release of Moon Mourning, the second in the Samantha Moon Origins series. Grab it here.
Also, the release date of The Harmony Paradox might be moving up to February!
Happy reading!
