The winter rains have set in here in the Pacific Northwest, and I can’t think of a better way to while away the dark evenings than by reading a good book. Speaking of which . . .

Hidden Enemy has been released!

Emelynn Taylor’s discovery of a forbidden book threatens to expose dangerous secrets. Two powerful factions clash: one ancient, one evil. And both of them want a piece of her. Not even her gift of flight will save her. Emelynn must form an uneasy partnership with a dangerous man and risk her gift and her future to protect her friends’ lives.

Read the book reviewers call Passionate, Exhilarating, and A superbly crafted fantasy thriller.
