Coinneach’s hunting lodge was the safe haven to which Finockt and her friends fled. But when her guardian forbids her from pursuing a lead on a clue her father left behind, Finockt cannot rest while knowing there may be a means to save the kingdom and her friends. She sets out for the Highlands against her guardian’s wishes and discovers more than she bargained for—something no one can take from her, even in death. But when her plan to save them all fails and she and another are captured by the enemy, she now finds herself fighting for more than just her own survival. Ultimately, she must rely on her faith for strength to see her through this trial. Yet despite her trust in Christ, will her hope of their escape—together— remain?

But decisions have consequences, and Finockt experiences this the hard way…keep an eye out for the next segment to see what happens!

This book is perfect for the homeschool community or any YA reader who loves Old-World style writing and poetic-ish descriptions of weather and settings to enhance world-building and the sensory experience of being “in” the story, rather than just reading it! ✨

Until next time…
Here’s the official follow-up to @greathomeschoo Here’s the official follow-up to @greathomeschoolconventions held in Columbus, Ohio, this year! 🥳

Such an encouraging time, and like always, the best part was meeting up with old and new friends and readers and their families!! I LOVED chatting with everyone about books, life, and, of course, writing and anything Finockt-related! ✨ I learned so many cool things about people’s lives and even met an amazing dad who used to live in New York and had some wild and fascinating tales from his time there! I LOVE hearing about other people’s lives and their life journeys, so his life story was particularly engaging! I loved his wife’s philosophy on life as well: “the years are going to pass whether you do x, y, and z, or you don’t. So where would you like to be at the end of them?!” This was very inspiring and made a huge impression on me! I really enjoyed her fresh perspective on this! 

Also, got to hang out with my baby sister @marissanne12 and crash at her place! It’s been a long time, and it was nice to just chill together 🥰♥️ I also enjoyed her two goldens. I should have taken pics of them! Cash is the older one; he was my bud! Tommy is the younger one, and he loved me, too, but he’s still got a lot of puppy energy despite his size. Loved him, too! But Cash’s chill nature kept me calm and relaxed, which was what I needed…my sister will be the first to tell you, I wasn’t cool about the slobber though, no matter how much I love them! 😍 Riss watched out for me, and I much appreciated that ♥️🥰

Did you find the symbols or clues from my IG stories I posted last night?! Were you able to match them with the pics, or at least guess who they belonged to? 

I can definitely say I’m really looking forward to returning to @greathomeschoolconventions next year, Lord willing!! ♥️ the best part is convening with believers! Such an uplifting and positive atmosphere that this oftentimes weary soul desperately needs! 

If you were there, know that I loved meeting you, talking to you, seeing new and familiar faces, and I cherished all the love and encouragement you gave me! 

God bless and looking forward to meeting up again next year and/or staying in touch here! 🥰
I actually made it on the day! So happy to celeb I actually made it on the day! 

So happy to celebrate this milestone! It’s hard to believe 2 years have passed since this whole adventure began with Book1-The Lost King’s Daughter, and it’s already been 1 full year since Book 2-The Heir made its debut into the world! ✨

If you’re looking for Book 3, it’s still in the steady stages of editing! I’ll make a post on how that’s been going soon! 

And if you’re new to my debut clean, YA, Medieval Christian fantasy series, In the Shadow of Emerald Fire 🔥, then welcome! I’m glad you’ve taken a moment to read this post. 

This is a trilogy inspired by the movie Braveheart, a Celtic cross necklace I own, my love for all things Celtic and medieval, and a whole lot of imagination! 💭 

Written for 12+, this is a book best for advanced readers, avid readers, and readers who also enjoy more classically-inspired literature. My writing style is more Old-World, and I love a good description of weather, setting, and anything else that will pull me and help me feel like I’m actually living in it. 

If this sounds like you’re kind of writing, then dive in and get started on Book 1-The Lost King’s Daughter and join a quest replete with mystery, suspense, action, skirmishes, unveiling of secrets, an underground puzzle chamber, and more! 

Then follow-up on the adventure with Book 2-The Heir, where Finockt, ever loyal to her father’s quest, heads to the Highlands to seek aid, and yet what she finds there is more than she bargained for, including a new perspective on life and Deverell. When her plan to save her friends and allies fails, an epic battle ensues, leaving the cross in peril and Finockt fighting for more than love as well as wrestling the burning question of whether the true heir will ever be seated on the throne!  Who will survive and who will claim the throne? 👑🗡️🏹🥀 also, discover the cliff hanger that has readers ready for Book 3!

Links to purchase Books 1&2 are in bio! 

Light, clean romance abounds but builds throughout the trilogy! 🌹 Hope you enjoy!
Whew! Time flies when…you least expect it or wan Whew! Time flies when…you least expect it or want it to! Haha. 

The @greathomeschoolconventions is THIS weekend! I’m so late sharing this, but it is what is. 🤗

If you’re in the heart of it all and/or are close by (or fairly close to) Columbus, then come join the celebration of all things homeschool!! ✨

This is my 3rd time attending the @greathomeschoolconventions, and this year it is also in the city that I spent about 4 years of my life in! Kinda like going back home, but not? I’m still excited to have a part in this beloved convention, and am excited to return to a semi old stomping grounds. 🥰

If you’re planning on attending, then please drop by and say hi! I truly do so enjoy chatting about anything and everything! Most notably, Princess Bride! For all those fans out there, I’m your girl! Loved quoting lines with an attendee @teachdiligently in Dayton, Ohio! So fun! 🤩 

If you’re interested in my books, they are definitely reading material for the homeschool community! Beloved by homeschoolers and homeschool moms and dads, In the Shadow of Emerald Fire is a clean, YA, medieval Christian fantasy trilogy that enraptures those who love advanced reading and are looking for something that requires analysis, problem-solving, mystery, suspense, a bit of clean, light romance, and those who enjoy foreshadowing. It’s also great for those looking for more classically-inspired literature. 🥰♥️

So, If you’re looking for a quick beach read, I’m definitely not your girl! I grew up on the classics, and that’s what I love to write! Weighty stories that make you stop and think and inspire use of the imagination. 😊

If this sounds like what you’re hoping for, come check out Books 1&2 of my trilogy! Book 3 is in the editing stages!✨

I can’t wait to meet you! Have a great rest of your week, and see you soon! GO BUCKS! ♥️

Here’s a quick follow-up from my first time @tea Here’s a quick follow-up from my first time @teachdiligently in Dayton, Ohio! 

With a smaller and more intimate setting, it was fantastic having the opportunity to chat with so many readers, moms and dads of readers, writers, aspiring writers, and even a burgeoning cover designer! My booth mates (booths to either side of me) were also a pleasure to meet. I even got to hang out with my younger sister and her newest addition to the family—my sweet little nephew with a ton of hair! Icing on the cake was when @karaswansonauthor came to my booth and said, “give me your spiel!” I did, and she bought both my books! 😱 

At the time, I had no idea who she was.🫢 Then she introduced herself and told me she’d give me a free copy of Dust. I was stunned! I was like, wait, what?! I’ve finally met THE Kara Swanson, and she bought both of my books, and now she’s going to give me a free copy of hers?! 😳

Of course, I couldn’t take it from her for free; it didn’t feel right. I insisted on purchasing it. So her husband threw in a good deal on the sequel, and I bought both Dust and Shadow! ✨

I was so nervous, I didn’t even think to take a pic of Kara getting my books! But I was able to ask for one when I bought hers! Loved meeting her! She’s sweet and fun and personable! And I’m really looking forward to reading her books!🥰 

So, overall impression of my first time at this homeschool convention was that @teachdiligently was very different from my experiences at the @greathomeschoolconventions, but I enjoyed it so much, I plan on returning next year, Lord willing! ✨

If you didn’t make it this year, then I hope to see you there next year!♥️

Hope you enjoyed the pics and the couple of changes to my booth! Until next time…
