What is Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic all about?
Spring is in full bloom in Raven’s Hollow, a small town in the Colorado Rockies with a population of unique townspeople. Blaze, a dragon shifter, and Wynter, a witch, are neck-deep in wedding preparations, when Wynter’s mother, Jade, goes missing after opening her new antique store, and attending the Simon estate sale where she procured an ancient jelly bean machine.
Frantic with worry, Blaze and Wynter track her last movements via the store’s ancient, grainy, security footage. What it reveals is nothing short of shocking. As deputy sheriff, it’s Blaze’s responsibility to find his soon-to-be mother-in-law. But at what cost?
Sneak peek between the pages of Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic:
“Let’s not jump to the worst-case scenario. Relax, we’ll find her.” Using his calm cop voice, he felt anything but calm. My gut is telling me she’s not here, and I’ve no idea how to find her. He sucked in a deep breath and blew it out slowly. He could see that his calm voice did little to soothe her.
She nearly vibrated. “Mom is missing. Our wedding is in less than two weeks. Tammy’s baby is due soon. I gotta find a part-time employee and you’re telling me to relax?” Another clap of thunder shook the building and an involuntary scream flew out of her mouth.
He wrapped his arms around her tight and held on. “We’ll find her. Everything will be all right. One step at a time. We’ll stop over to Ms. Roost’s place as soon as the storm subsides. Then we’ll come back here and view the surveillance footage, if there is any. That’s the plan right now. Don’t think it’s smart to try to view it while the storm rages. Electrical current could cause a surge, fry the system, and then where would we be?”
“My head knows you’re right. My heart is at war with my head.”
“I understand. Off to Ms. Roost’s first.” He shut off the lights and unlocked the door.
She set the antiquated alarm, and locked it after they were outside. Thunder still rumbled around with only an occasional flash of lightning. The torrents of rain had turned into a drizzle as they ran to his vehicle.
Available for pre order from: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Google Play, and ibooks.

Security Force of Two – Sunday Snippet
Celebrate July 4th, with a Sunday Snippet – Hold onto your hats SECURITY FORCE OF TWO burst onto the scene on the first day of Spring, with 5-Star reviews and awards! First book in my new Mountain Town Mysteries Series. A riveting #paranormal #romance, #mystery, you’re going to love!
A former CIA agent and a Special Forces vet return to their small hometown for different reasons none of which includes involvement in an investigation of the new police chief’s murder.
A little about Security Force of Two:
Miacoh Zane, a Special Forces veteran, returns to Aspen Ridge, Colorado a small town nestled in the Rocky Mountains, to settle his beloved grandmother’s estate. But the town holds painful memories and family secrets he wants to leave behind for good.
Candle Bearclaw, a gifted computer analyst/programmer with talents she’s buried when recruited out of college by the CIA. After fifteen years, she abruptly resigns her position with the agency. She returns to her sleepy hometown only to discover her childhood crush has also returned and a violent crime has been committed.
Due to their covert operations experience, Candle and Miacoh are thrown together to assist Homeland Security, FBI, and her father, former chief of police, with a murder investigation. As they search for the perpetrators, will their secrets be revealed as the investigation takes an unusual twist that could blow the case wide open.
An exciting new peek between the pages of Security Force of Two:
“The bad news is what they purchased. The video shows a man with stringy blond hair bought a large number of nails and fertilizer. The other one appears to have dark hair, cut short. He picked up ball bearings, wires, and tubing. They purchased this stuff in large quantities at several stores. In Colorado Springs, they walked over separately to a discount store next to the home improvement store and bought vinegar, peroxide, sugar, and eight car batteries.
“Who the heck needs eight car batteries?” Candle pulled her bottom lip through her teeth.
“Shit. Those are an excellent source of sulfuric acid.” Miacoh let out a low whistle.
She wiped her sweated hands on her jeans staring at Miacoh, who took a swig of his coffee.
Candle’s eyes rounded as the color drained out of her face.
Miacoh put a hand on her arm. “Candle you okay?”
“We are dealing with—terrorists, aren’t we?” She paused before the word terrorists slipped off her tongue. Heat now coloring her cheeks. “I left that world behind, only to have them show up in my backyard. Some coincidence.” She fisted her hands in her pockets. “I gotta get Terra.”
Nodding solemnly, Miacoh confirmed her statement and said, “It’s believed to be exactly that, a coincidence. There are many potential targets up and down the Front Range. What better place to lay low and gather supplies than near a quiet little town next to a playground of the rich and famous?” Miacoh held up an 8×10 photograph from the stills of the video marked on the back “Chief Bearclaw only – original.” Candle held the back door open for Terra, and then looked at the pictures.
“Who’s those men in the picture with Councilwoman Wright?” Candle looked at Miacoh as the scorn on his face darkened to thundercloud level as he shuffled through the other pictures.
“It looks like our esteemed councilwoman has a connection to our two persons of interest.”

As they search for the perpetrators, will their secrets be revealed as the investigation takes an unusual twist that could blow the case wide open.
An exciting new peek between the pages of Security Force of Two:
As Miacoh turned the SUV into one of the School of Mines parking lots, one wing of a building exploded with debris flying everywhere and flames shooting over sixty feet in the air. He slammed on the brakes, put his hand over Candle’s head, and ducked over her as flying objects assaulted the vehicle. Cayson lay sprawled across the back seat.
The blast’s concussion overturned vehicles smashed them into other cars causing more explosions. Cars with shattered windows lined the rear of the parking lot just in front of their SUV.
Moments after the rain of debris stopped, Miacoh, Candle, and Cayson jumped out of the SUV and glanced around. They ran toward the scene, masks from Candle’s first aid kit covering their mouth and nose. They coughed and choked as the scent of burning debris, and heavy smoke filled the air. Their eyes teared as they fought their way towards the crater where the building had been. Due to the intense heat surrounding the crater, they stopped several yards from point of explosion.
“If there was anyone in the building, they were incinerated. Beyond help now. We should wait here for the emergency personnel.” Cayson raised his mask, mopped his face with his handkerchief, and replaced his mask.
Pointing at the flames, “That’s the Chemistry building,” Candle screamed. “Could be noxious fumes. Need to let everyone know to stay away.” She pulled out her phone and dialed Jedediah’s number with homeland security as she ran back toward her vehicle, motioning the others to follow. “I’ve gas masks in my emergency bag in the back of the SUV.” If their hunch was correct, this wasn’t the primary target. She was sure of that. After four rings, she left a message and stuffed the phone back in her pocket.
