“This book echoes the transformative journey of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love”
Powerful, Engaging, and Inspiring Memoir.

After reaching a breaking point, leading to the unraveling of her current life, Kait quits her job as a mental health therapist, sells her house, and ends her relationship. With no specific plan in mind, she purchases a one-way ticket to Costa Rica for a yoga teacher training workshop, setting in motion a journey of self-discovery that takes her across Central and South America and on a road trip through parts of Eastern Europe. With each new place she visits and person she meets, Kait starts un-becoming everything she thought she was and instead becoming everything she truly is.

Wanderlust Healing: A Journey Back to Self will resonate with anyone at a crossroads in life, whether they’re facing uncertainty, contemplating major life changes, or seeking the courage to forge a new path. Kait’s story is a beacon of inspiration and a reminder that sometimes, the most transformative journeys are the ones that lead us back to our true self.

Here’s the set-up:

Supernaturally on the case!
Celestine LeBlanc and Luna Finley are the Sleuths of Shadow Salon.

Shadow Salon detectives Luna and Celestine take on their second case, when Tim Calhoun insists his Conservatory of Theater Arts has been cursed, and the police have come up dry. He claims a red specter is terrorizing him, upturning his library of historic plays, setting fires in the theater, even brutalizing him. Tim is desperate to solve this terrifying mystery before Hollywood directors and agents flock to Savannah to watch his students perform and hopefully sign them.

The 1811 anonymous play is The Romance of the Recording Angels. Hazardous incidents follow rehearsals. Luna interviews students, inspects dorms and the library, where she unearths a copy of the play with strange red notations. She hires Arthur Dodge, a necro-visionary to find out who drew them. The shocking entity he resurrects reveals that three aerial realms must be unlocked to end an actual curse. But as time runs out, where the realms are, what must be done in them and just why the curse was inflicted remains a mystery.

To uncover clues, Luna uses her water magic and flight skills, while resisting her growing attraction to client, Tim. Celestine shares tips from her automatic drawings. As time runs out, Luna must try anything: Dodge’s visionary tea, Hoodoo Root Worker, Selka Dupree’s spell jars, and farmer Crow Dao’s lessons in realm jumping. If Luna fails to reach the realms, the conservatory will be shuttered, the curse will spread… and worse.
Perfect for fans of paranormal police procedurals, and of Kim Harrison and Charlaine Harris.

Here’s the set-up:

I’M BREAKING HIS EVERY RULE. HE’S MELTING MY PANTIES.
Working for Nick Novack, a wealthy, gorgeous hockey captain is what dreams are made of.
Wrong. It’s a nightmare.
My boss hates me, because of an incident on my first day. I suspect he wants me to quit working as the nanny to his five-year-old, but I have dreams of going back to college. Nothing’s going to stand in my way.
Not my grumpy, intolerable boss. Nor his stupid rules that I can’t help breaking.
Not the fact that he’s hot as sin.
Definitely not when I start noticing his lingering, panty-melting eyes on my curvy body. Crossing that line means risking a job I desperately need. But when Nick comes home in an unusually good mood one night and finds me swimming in his pool. We get lost in a steamy, sheet-gripping night.
I forget about the risk.
For a moment.
Until a devastating and unexpecting surprise uproot their lives, entirely.

Each book in this series is a standalone, can be read in any order. These stories contain no cheating and all have a HEA ending.
