E-book available

I realize that this has very little to do with Niagara Falls or Lancaster County, but I am a local author, and one thing I hope to do with this blog is introduce you to the authors and artists found in these two regions.

My second novel, Azure Lights, is available as an e-book right now. You can either click on the image or click here to purchase the book.

In the first book, Azure Maris, Azure is a mermaid from the kingdom of Deep Waters, in the Indian Ocean. Her father is the king, and she is a priestess. After being swept away from her home, Azure finds herself in enemy territory where she learns of an alliance between her kingdom's enemy and another kingdom in the Atlantic Ocean. Neither kingdom wants the knowledge to reach Deep Waters, but neither are they prepared to provoke war with Deep Waters with the slaying of the princess-priestess. To satisfy their troubles, the kings decide to ground Azure Maris in the Chesapeake Bay, and place a band around her tail to alert them should she attempt to escape. Added to the beacon on the band are elements which react to the water in the Atlantic Ocean making it very painful for Azure to swim in the waters. Both are excellent deterrents.

Alone and lost, Azure is taken in by the Frankel family. Hiram, the father, is a doctor, and he sees to Azure's wounds. Throughout the course of the book, Hiram and his wife, Helen learn just who Azure is, and why she came to their home.

In the second book, Azure Lights the book picks up with Azure's arrival at Hiram's parents' home on an island in the Pacific Ocean. Though Azure is closer to home, she is in the midst of enemy territory.

The books are geared towards young adults, but have captured adults as well.
