It's time to let you in on a little, well, not-so-little, secret... The Godmother: A Starfire Express Prequel is coming out this July!

Whew! The cat's out of the bag!

If you've been anxiously waiting for news on Starfire Express: A Flame of Fae and Fang , I am opening the doors up to this world for you with a prequel about the Fairy who started it all: The Godmother.


Pre-Orders on this first book in the Starfire Express universe is now open!

Oh! And if you're not an Amazon reader, I have good news! 

The Godmother will be available WIDE: Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes &Noble, Kobo, and more for a limited time. 

Are you excited about The Godmother: A Starfire Express Prequel?
Ready to learn more?

​Here's a sneak peek at the blurb:


Flames rise on the horizon. The Godmother rises to meet them.

Eliza Farrington the Third is the top Fairy Warrior in the universe, undefeated in both magic and physical strength. She is also The Godmother -- the protector and trainer of the Crown Princess.
​
For twenty years, Eliza has prepared her charge to bring change to the rule of terror the tyrannical Fairy King and Queen have inflicted upon the worlds. The Princess's kindness and mercy are already renowned, and her coronation is only a month away.

But the Dragon Emperor's legions landing on their doorstep threatens everything. 

When the Dragon Emperor presents the sole remaining royal Dragon Egg to the Fair Folk with a deadly proposal, can Eliza change the fate of her beloved Princess?

Or will the hate of multiple generations snuff out their only flame of hope?

Holidays In Fantasy Worlds

12/22/2021

Do you love holidays in fantasy worlds? 

In honor of the holiday season, here are three holidays that are exclusive bonus content just for you from my three fantasy universes:

Unification Tributary Festival
​(Starfire Express: A Flame of Fae & Fang)

Every year in The Central City, champions from all the different dimensions in the Starfire Express universe gather for the Unification Tributary Festival.

In honor of the Dragon Overlords, who liberated the worlds from the Fairy Court's iron-fisted rule, every world brings luxurious food in abundance for an outdoor feast in the City Square. 

Streets are decorated with strings of gold and green lights and lanterns.

​A grand arena (once used by the Fairies for executions), now serves as a place where Champions from outlying worlds can duel for the opportunity to bring their families permanently to the Central City and all its comforts.

Tilling Day Celebration
(The Vow That Twisted Fate)​

The grandest celebration in Queen Arlena's innocent world falls on the first day of spring--the first day where farmland is tilled. 

After a Soil-Breaking ceremony, where the Queen breaks the first ground of the season and leaves a magical Wish for abundance for the next harvest, the Castle Chefs serve a feast in the main hall for all the people to enjoy.

Marriage ceremonies in the main hall are often scattered throughout the day, at which the Queen leaves more Wishes for long marriages and many children.

Children participate in annual games of skill, hoping to be selected by a master of their choice trade for future apprenticeships.

​The day ends with bonfires, dancing, and a special magical fireworks display in the Market. 

Doubling Day Festival
(Splitting Worlds Series)

While all the worlds in the Splitting Worlds universe have their own holidays which vary by culture, the Doubling Day Festival is a day that all races (except Humans) celebrate.

As Doubling Day is the day that the gods sacrificed over half of their family line to separate one world into four separate dimensions (for the survival of all races), it is a highly-respected religious holiday.

Shrines are packed with worshipers who bring incense and financial offerings to support the gods who reside within each of the Worlds. Parades bring the new year's tributes of linen and supplies to the High Temples, where the priests and monks perform plays reenacting the Doubling.

Standing-room-only feasts are held just outside the Temple grounds, where--between courses--everyone from the tiniest toddler to the oldest elder are invited to join in ritual dances late into the evening. 

The evening ends with a person pledge to the gods, which is written in blood on a smooth flat stone. The stones are added to an ever-building Oath Wall, which encompasses the Temple grounds.

The Worlds of Starfire Express

12/4/2021

Picture
A portal adventure fantasy would not be the same without magical worlds to visit throughout the story, and Starfire Express: A Flame of Fae and Fang has plenty of worlds to offer!

Allow me to introduce you to The Worlds of Starfire Express:
Picture

Scaren

Scaren is the home of both the Greek and the Norse gods in Starfire Express. 

Under the rule of the universe's wealthiest, most fashionable, and arguably most powerful beings, life in Scaren is beyond luxurious. 

June, our young Human college student from Earth, can't helped but be awed by the opulence and beauty of Scaren and those who live there--especially Loki, the first god she meets when she disembarks the train.
Picture

Ipalgo

When water-beings (mermaids, krakens, and squish) aren't vacationing in Earth's oceans and lakes, they live on the water-covered world of Ipalgo.

Ipalgo has a few barren rock-scapes to host visitors, but otherwise all fortresses and cities are underwater. 

June quickly grows attached to the infant prince on the Celebration Tour, "Squishy", and endears herself to the Kraken family as well.
Picture

Donterra

After the Fairies were cast out of the Central City hundreds of years ago, they were banished to the war-torn ruins of the world known as Donterra. 

All suspected and known traitors and rebels live out their days with their entire clans here, including the werewolves, vampires, and now the Fae.

It is from this world that Hunter, the Chief of the Not-So-Secret-Police, has worked  hundreds of year to free full-blooded Wolves so they can return to the Central City. 
Picture

The Central City

Home to the Dragon Overlords and their loyalists, the Central City can only be reached by transdimensional portalling or aboard the Starfire Express. 

Restricted access leaves the city safe, peaceful, and well-protected from would-be usurpers. 

It is also the only world that has direct portals to and from the prison dimension where The Godmother, a notorious crime boss, will be banished at the end of the Celebration Tour.
Which of these five worlds catches your interest the most? Which of the worlds of Starfire Express would you want to visit first, if you were the one on the Celebration Tour with Hunter? Let me know in the comments!

​
A celebration tour (especially on a train full of magical monsters) would not be a celebration without some celebration food. Here are two recipes inspired by the favorite food of some of these magical creatures: the troll sisters' favorite chicken salad sandwiches, and Squishy's "Inky" (black bean) soup.
