About the Author
I write stories about magick, love and dark creatures lurking in the shadows. When I'm not lost in Edit Land you can find me reading a book from my towering TBR pile or at the movie theater nibbling licorice. I don't have a lucky number, but my favorite time is 11:11. I completely believe that the fortunes found inside cookies will come true and that you must be careful when wishing on stars. I live on an island, so if you want to visit you'll need a boat, and if you want to survive the passage, be sure to bring candy for the mermaids.

Exclusive Excerpt:
"See who you are," the
mermaid whispered.
Halen's eyes clouded over and when
the smoke cleared she found herself standing in an open field. She was dressed
in a cotton dress which fell around her ankles. Soft grass tickled her toes.
She took a step forward and a flower sprung from the ground beside her. She
leaned down to pick the red poppy. As she took another step a flower sprang up
from between the blades of grass. Halen smiled. She walked a little farther and
with each step a new poppy sprouted and bloomed. She ran faster and the field
blossomed under her feet, and when she waved her hand, the entire valley filled
with red poppies. She inhaled their sweet scent and when she exhaled, the birds
glided in the breeze of her breath through an endless blue sky.
Halen laughed when the wind caught
her skirt and swept the fabric up over her head, but when she pushed it down,
dark clouds rolled overhead. She took one step forward and the grass beneath
her feet sizzled to a crisp. Taking another step, the poppies burst into
flames. The fire licked the hem of her skirt and she gathered it up over her
knees. Scanning the field, she spotted a boulder; if she could make it there,
remove her feet from the ground, she could save the rest of the field.
She ran in long strides, and with
each step, she scorched the ground with her fiery feet. Suddenly, she tripped.
Her hands touched down and the ground combusted with a brilliant light. The
fire raced through the field, spreading to the trees. The flames reached up,
lassoing the birds from the sky, dragging them to the ground. Halen crawled to
the rock and hoisted herself up. She stared out to the barren land. "No,
no. What have I done?" She clawed the air and the clouds rumbled with
thunder. The fire burned hotter and hotter under her flesh. The only way to
extinguish the flames was to release them. Tilting her head back, she opened
her mouth wide and screamed. What birds had not been burned turned now to black
beasts swirling in the torrid sky.
