The Prophecy (Divinity Stone book 1)

The people of Shiloh, Virginia thought it was just a story. A legend to keep children from misbehaving. A challenge to prove you have courage.

What they didn’t know was that it was real.

All of it was real.

When Starlette McKinley moved from the sparkling lights of LA to the sleepy town of Shiloh, she didn’t know that she would be the catalyst. She didn’t know that the rage and energy pulsing through her would be the key to unleashing an insurmountable power that would either be the saving of mankind, or its destruction.

The blood will run, and the prophecy will be revealed. But will she be able to overcome the insurmountable odds? Or will she succumb to the energy within, welcoming the darkness that has become her only friend.

WARNING: Rated 17+ due to language and sexual content

The Divine (Divinity Stone book 2)

The legend has become reality, even if the people of Shiloh, Virginia don’t know it yet.

Starlette McKinley had moved across the US only to find that the darkness raging inside of her wasn’t something of her own creation. It wasn’t something that could be medically treated by psychiatrists or any type of medication. The darkness was her power, and it was going to stay.

When she accepts that the greatest threat of all lies within herself, she will have to choose: Push away all those that she loves in order to keep them safe, or keep them near and witness their deaths.

Only through the help of The Divine will she be able to face what is to come. But at what cost? What sacrifice will The Divine demand as payment?

Busy, but Not Writing :-/

I have been helping my mom and brother pack and move. I have been so busy that I have gotten just 700 words within the last 30 days.

Now I am having a garage sale. . . For anyone in Ohio (Lorain County Area) Please stop by. . . here’s the ad http://cleveland.craigslist.org/gms/4557456878.html

I hope to get moved and writing on a regular basis by September. (It’s a flexible goal.)
