The Tea Merchants is coming this fall!

The Tea Merchant Series is a series of books set in the world of Ocean, where tea is the currency of life and sailors brave all to this valuable treasure, more important than gold. But all is not as it seems. Developing over six stories, the story centers on Javier al-Rasheed, a playboy who is caught into a web of politics and intrigue when he marries the daughter of the Dominar of the land of Cycus, Nazira, and must gamble his life, sanity, and his crew to carry out a scheme that will see them all masters of their world, or dead at the end of an executioner's axe. But all is not as it seems. What is the secret of the island of silence, why do the gods throw bolts of fire at the people of Ocean when they defy their will, and who is the dark stranger and his mysterious mistress who claim to hail from a distant shore?

The War of the Ravens is Complete!

The year is 1968 and the Virdean Queen of the Uplands has lost her promised consort, the Earth warrior Ivy d'Seille. While just a child, Ivy fought the Germans in France and later served in Korea and Indochina. Could he have been overpowered and kidnapped?
To find out, she sends two of her most trusted companions: Mamma LeDeoux, a woman of gears and flesh, renowned priestess macumba of the Santeria, and Rains-a-Lot, a Plains Indian most famous for killing Thomas Custer at Little Bighorn. Together, they must navigate the bizarre world of the United States to find Ivy and return him to the lands of magic. It turns out not to be that simple. Against all odds, Ivy, who is renowned for his moral strength, has been enlisted by the immortal Cinnamon in a plot for a secretive dark lord. Is their goal to release nuclear annihilation on the Earth? To destroy the connection between the Earth and Virdea? To dominate the stream of magic? The heroes must race against time to find out what is happening and save their friend Ivy from infamy.

The reviewers are raving about the War of the Ravens.
