Black-Bloods and Vampire Keepers

Sabine didn’t choose her immortality. She had it brutally forced upon her nearly two-hundred years ago. She was ripped out of her happy, peaceful life, and turned into a bloodthirsty assassin.

Life in a vampire coven is designed to shred your humanity, rid you of your morals, and turn you into the ultimate killing machine. And it was that transformation that allowed Sabine to gain her freedom. She has been on the run for fifty years, hiding in the shadows, and trying to do her part to rid the world of the monsters seeking to harm the innocent, whether they’re among her own kin, humans, or werewolves.

But when she kills two vampires to save a human, she has to try to outrun the most powerful coven in the city. When she finds herself cornered, she receives help from a creature she never even knew existed.

Sabine and Elena choose to trust each other and flee the city together. But with rumors of war stirring up tensions between vampires and werewolves, they’ll have to fight to remain free. Blood will be shed. Things will be blown up. And the harrowing battles and their similarly painful pasts will bond them like they’ve never experienced.

And they’ll need that bond to navigate Hawthorn, the most powerful vampire society in the world.

I am Stone - A novel about survival, hope, and love.

Seventeen-year-old Dylan Ryder has been in foster care since she was an infant, and every minute, day, and year has been a trial of survival. Especially, after being placed under the care of Harley and Francis Carlton, a couple with no children of their own and who treat Dylan more like a servant and a punching bag than a child.

For over seven years, their abuses and threats forced Dylan to remain silent. But when Dylan ends up in the hospital, her new caseworker grows suspicious of the Carltons. Dylan wants to confide in Whitney and tell her everything. She wants to be set free. But the failures and negligence of her previous caseworkers make it hard to trust anyone.

But the Carltons aren’t the only threats in Dylan’s life. Forbidden to have friends, and a lack of nice clothes that fit, Dylan is the number-one “untouchable” at school, as deemed by the school’s bully. But one particular run-in with Tracy doesn’t sit well with one of the girls from her inner circle and things at school are about to change.

While Dylan goes through the motions, just trying to survive and keep her grades up in school, Whitney devises a plot to try to learn the truth and improve Dylan’s circumstances, something her previous caseworkers never tried to do. And that difference doesn’t go unnoticed by the Carltons, and Dylan will be the one to pay.

Dylan survives the Carltons, but only just.

But Dylan will heal. She’ll learn that it’s always worth fighting for the next day. She’ll gain a family and friends. And the future has never looked brighter.
