FOUR STAR FUNERALS packs the emotional wallop of Titanic, darkened with a dash of Tales From the Crypt. This ten-author anthology about death and its aftershocks will sear your soul, make you laugh … and ultimately help you heal, if you're haunted by a death that has upended your emotions in ways you never expected.  A Collection of Memoir, Poetry, and Short Fiction  For anyone whose life has been torn apart by death—the death of someone you loved, the death of someone with whom you had unfinished business, or a near brush with your own demise—this book will help you settle your emotions, heal the wounds, and get on with living. The writing is first-rate. The ten authors of this collection have been widely published in various genres and formats: mainstream books, magazines, anthologies; fiction, nonfiction, historical and contemporary; from children’s literature to scholarly work. There’s nothing else quite like it: 47,000 words of death-inspired passion, mostly memoir and essays but with touches of poetry and fiction. Read a little each night or morning, and feel your soul grow easy.  “A good read … I was impressed by the quality of writing from so many different authors. Each story was unique, but each was extremely well written. The subject of death was handled with discretion, punctuated now and then with humor, making it a ‘fun’ read. I highly recommend it.” —Marvin S. Mayer

Biographies & Memoirs

Drawn into the schemes of an angry wizard, Carin glimpses the place she once called home. It lies upon a shore that seems unreachable. To learn where she belongs and how to get there, the teenage traveler must decipher the words of an alien book, follow the clues in a bewitched poem, conjure a dragon from a pool of magic--and tread carefully around a seductive but volatile, emotionally scarred sorcerer who can't seem to decide whether to love her or kill her. Book 1 of a series: The story continues in WATERSPELL Book 2: The Wysard and WATERSPELL Book 3: The Wisewoman..

Waterspell Book 1: The Warlock

Romance

Paranormal

After blundering into the last stronghold of magic, Carin discovers that she is right to fear the wizard Verek. He is using her to seal the ruptures in the void, and she may be nothing more to him than an expendable weapon. What will he do with her--or to her--when his world is again secure? Or has he erred in believing that the last bridge has been broken? The quest may not, in fact, be over ... and Lord Verek may find himself not quite as willing to dispose of his fiery water-sylph, Carin, as he once believed himself to be. This is Book 2 of a series. The story begins in WATERSPELL Book 1: The Warlock and concludes with WATERSPELL Book 3: The Wisewoman.

Waterspell Book 2: The Wysard

Plague and pestilence have come to Ladrehdin. With their worst fears realized, Carin and Verek set out to put right everything that has gone so badly wrong. On the final leg of their quest, they retrace Carin's journey north from the plains--accompanied this time by the village wisewoman, Megella. Along the way, Meg dredges up--from an increasingly unreliable memory--the oldest of the "old stories," revealing how the actions of the Ancients continue to menace every life on the Wizards' World, and beyond.This is Book 3 of a series. The story begins with WATERSPELL Book 1: The Warlock and WATERSPELL Book 2: The Wysard.Available as e-books and paperbacks.

Waterspell Book 3: The Wisewoman

<p>In the House of Verek, it's five years later. The waters are troubled. Memories are darkening. If the story is to end "happily ever after" for Carin and Verek, old demons must be laid to rest.\nReaders of the Waterspell fantasy series will welcome this long-awaited fourth book for the answers it provides to questions raised in volumes 1 through 3: Does the wysard Verek regain his powers, and will Carin make her way back to him? Have Carin's parents survived the plague that devastated their world, and will she ever see them again? Did Lanse survive the attack by Carin's defender? Is Lord Legary really dead? And not least: Did the necromancer die in the jaws of Carin's conjured dragon? Remember: there was no blood in the water. These questions and more are answered in Waterspell Book 4: The Witch, which picks up the story of the lovers, Carin and Verek, half a decade after readers saw the pair separated in the closing chapters of the original trilogy.\nBy the blood of Abraxas, it's about time we learned what happened next.\n"Amazing! Usually takes me time to get through a book with my busy schedule, but I could not put this series down! Book 3 was epic from beginning to end, and I didn't want it to end. I'm so excited to hear there's a Book 4. I'll anxiously be awaiting the release of the next installment. Start with Book 1 and enjoy the ride, you won't regret it. The author paints such a vivid picture with beautifully created characters, it's impossible to not get lost in the story." -Google Books reviewer</p>
