There's another senseless tragedy on the news every day. This ice storm in the Mid-South is awful. My house is riddled with cabin fever. Yet, I only have four chapters left to edit in this draft so I'm celebrating the small victories that keep me going.

DIVDED WE FALL

When a city rife with civil unrest between the branches of magic erupts into violence at a royal ball, Ava and Fallon take separate paths to uncover the culprit before the chaos destroys the kingdom, their lives, and those they have come to love.

A purple floral background with a text box over top that reads "An Agent's Guide to Divided We Fall. A 90,000 word, dual-POV fantasy with significant romantic elements and a dash of mystery." An image depicting comp titles for Divided We Fall against a dutsy purple background. Magical class division from House of Bane and Blood. Political Intrigue from House of Bane and Blood and from Bridge Kingdom. Conflict between duty and love from Bridge Kingdom. Blend of fantasy and mystery from Tainted Cup. Hidden Truths from Tainted Cup and from Silvercloak. "Magic with a Price" from Silvercloak. An image depicting a dusty purple background with a light purple text box containing the blurb of the story. Purple flower accents behind the corners of the text box. An image where one side depicts romance tropes found in the sotry and the other side shows the magic found in the book. The romance tropes for Ava's story line are "Cinderella inspired", "Magicaless anomaly", and "Yearning". For Fallon's story line there is "Only One Umbrella", "Forbidden Romance", and "Forced Proximity". Both storylines feature a "Meet Cut at the Royal Ball." For the magic, there are three branches. Elementals (pyromancers, aquamancers, terramancers, and aeromancers), Mentalists (telepaths, illusionists, telekinesists), and Enchanters (healers and amplifiers). There is also the definition of "Mundane" which is "those rare anomalies born from parents descending from two different branches like Ava, who possess no magic."

In DIVIDED WE FALL, Fallon is a proud captain in the Eryndor guard, poised for the promotion she covets if she resists the temptations of her newest recruit. Ava is proud to have transformed the royal cemetery into a place of beauty but has waged war on a masuoleum that resists reform.

Character mood boards for DIVIDED WE FALL. My romantic fantasy is dual-POV separately following Fallon as she resists the temptations of Soren and Ava as she pursues Prince Jace. Unfortunately, both must focus on saving their kingdom from the elusive killer on the loose first.

A character mood board for "Soren Tilvadae". Images show a silhoutte of a man and a woman about to kiss, a black suit embroidered with silver filigree, several couples dressed for a ball dancing under chandeliers, a chess pawn piece, a purple eye, a hand touching an old open book, and a nice medevial cobblestone city street. A character mood board for "Jace Corielle" depicting several images. One is a picnic scene by a tree, a large diamond obelisk in a cemetery, a library with a spiral staircase and plush emerald couch, a hand manipulating smoke or wind, a walnut brown eye, a golden crown, and two boys playing in front of a fireplace. A character mood board for "Ava Ashramstang" depicting several images. A cemetery gate with purpley flowers in the foreground, a cemetery path leading towards headstones and past a mausoleum, notes with magnifying glass on top, a woman with a blue and a green eye, a silhoutte of a flower against a music sheet, a woman's hand browsing an ancient bookshelf, and a circular fountain in the middle of a well manicured garden. A character mood board for "Fallon Balryn" depicting several images. A sword lying on the grass surrounded by small violets, the outside of a medevial tavern, a mausoleum, a field with a large tree in the background, a blue eye, a close-up shot of two hands on a sword, and a two hands with golden magic flowing between them.

Started 2025 as a beta reader and life long bookworm. Who knew my corporate boss would ask one simple question that would change everything:

"Why don't you write?"

In 2026, I'll still treasure those titles, but now add WRITER to that list. Maybe I'll get agented too.
