Out of the Shadows reflects a time in my life when, struggling with depression, I found the capacity to drift through each day by writing about my visions of life with the internal conflict of hiding my emotions from family and friends, hiding this inner turmoil consuming my thoughts and my outward smiles and bright eyes facade for others to see. My poems in my first collection, Behind the Shadows, are fictional, created by an empathy for the human condition of many different issues of social unrest in the world. The depression I experienced heightened my emotions, allowing me to create such poems as I Still Wonder Why, which is about a child in foster care, bouncing from one home to another, wondering why he was taken away from his parents. New-Found Sense depicts someone who recently lost her sight and is now realizing how keen her other senses are in helping her see with a new-found vision. My second collection, Into the Light, was inspired by the love and devotion of my husband of forty-five years, James, and that of my family and friends. Look Back and Smile reflects the inner thoughts of a bride as she walks down the aisle, conversing with her mom and dad to be comforted, knowing how much her new groom will take care of her and love her. And Then There Were Three is a conversation between a pregnant woman about to give birth and her child still yet to be born. I wrote this poem seven years before I had my first child I share my poems with anyone who has had loss and love, who has cried and laughed, and mourned and rejoiced in their lives. May you be inspired to know that even at your darkest moments, you, too, can come out of the shadows.

Magic...a simple gift, or a tool to barter power? The coven is hard at work helping Liam with his slight demonic problem when the pull once again interrupts things, taking them straight to a house with a drained witch. One-by-one, more Salem witches are found depleted, the one thing they cherish most only a flicker inside them. With Liam succumbing to the evil more everyday, the coven's resources are stretched thin. They reach out for help in the unlikeliest places, promising a favor they're not sure they can keep to someone they shouldn't even be associating with. However, they'd do anything to save one of their own, even if they suspect he's falling into the black hole of bad magic. The coven must hurry to find answers if they want to save Liam, and the other witches, before they all give in to the evil infiltrating Salem.
Orange Kitty and the Mouse Parade is a playful, colourful, vibrantly illustrated, counting and rhyming children's picture book about a sleepy cat that snoozes through a lively parade with fifty-five marching, cheering, trumpeting, baton-twirling mice, who tumble out from a "little blue door just an inch from the floor." Each dramatic page brings increasing numbers of little furry performers, from ONE marching maestro, through the final FIFTY-FIVE mice, spilling onto the page in a joyful splash of fun and frolics. Little readers will be charmed by the costumed revelers and will delight in counting the mice on each page and learning and recognizing the numbers emblazoned on each of their tiny costumes. Adult readers will love the read-aloud rhythm and help spark a love of learning, while counting along with their little ones, and helping spot the numbers.

Each page allows little artists to bring their own colour interpretation to the little furry performers, who tumble onto the page in a joyful splash of fun and frolics.
Sometimes it's not a question of right or wrong, but what you think you can get away with. Dara Martin is an untrained witch with strong natural power, and while she knows she deserves formal education from the Academy, it will take years of grueling study and hard slog for this half-blood to be accepted by the Kin. On the other hand, Willem the sorcerer may hold the secret to her lost mother, and he promises to fast-track her power beyond measure. What he proposes is illegal, and if she's caught, her magic will be painfully bound forever. But only if the Witch Kin catch her...
A darkness emerges from within threatens to shatter her world. Dara's poised on the brink of her new life. She finally has her place amongst the ranks of the Kin and her ambition steers her ever upward. Yet what she finds here is falseness and intrigue - Hugh, her father, Meg - are revealed with their all-too-human failings. The only witch she can trust to be true is her worst enemy. Cate. A larger peril is looming for the Witch Kin, one that has been brewing beneath the surface for centuries. In order to help, she needs to return home and find the truth inside herself, all while facing the demons of her own past and future. As the reality of her new powers hits home, she now understands why Margaret Forsythe was forcibly locked away by the patriarchal Kin all those years ago.
On a lonely Scottish island stands a stone tower which harbors a terrible secret deep within... Dara Martin has been given a second chance to redeem herself in the eyes of the ruling Witch Kin. They'll teach her how to wield her powerful natural magic and eventually, maybe, to work with Hugh, as long as she gives up her errant ways. But the tower's mystery inevitably draws her in, and while she has sworn not to lie to the Kin, she must hold on to her own secrets or lose her only chance of freeing her mother...
The Ice King's wintry grasp. A witch cursed. A deadly Chronicle.Contact with the Crystal Charm Stone caused deep changes in Dara Martin, leaving her with a power so great, it scares even the elders. This only happened once before in the centuries of the Kin's rule, but the witch Meg's fate is a secret buried deep in the past. Dara has no idea what her future might hold.Whisked away from Scarp to study under the Venerable Nacthan in Edinburgh, she's forbidden to practice until the elders can understand her new magic. Yet she knows she now has the resources to rescue her mother from the Ice King's grasp, if only she knew how to get there from here.A chance meeting leads her into the depths of the Edinburgh Vaults to Auld Meg, who'd been cursed to stone by the Kin to write the most dangerous chronicle of all. If Dara can break the spell and free the crone, she'll be able to bridge realities to the Ice Kingdom.There'll be hell to pay with the Kin. But only if she makes it back alive.
Dara was born with natural power, but it'll be her death sentence if she's caught.

She's never been taught how to control her supernatural abilities, but she has to hide them or pay with her life. Until Hugh arrives on the scene. He may be a rogue witch, but he's willing to teach her some things if she'll help him with his quest. Unfortunately for her, a little knowledge can be more dangerous than none at all. And she soon finds out there are no quick fixes to errors in magic... Large Print Edition
