New release! 'Dark Circles' is now live

Book 1 titled "Do You Believe in Magic?" is available for immediate download.

From everything I’ve been told, the one time you should throw caution to the wind and unabashedly promote yourself is when you launch a new book.

I’m throwing caution to the wind!

Do You Believe in Magic?, book one of my middle grade epic fantasy series titled Dark Circles, is now available for immediate download. The paperback version is also live.

Dark Circles is appropriate for readers 13 and older. It is fun, action-packed, challenging, and thought-provoking. Your young teens will love it. And so will you. I can’t deny that it’s a bit on the scary side, but I would rate it PG. If you can handle Harry Potter, you can handle this.

To purchase, please go to Do You Believe in Magic?

My friends, you won’t regret it. Heck, you can order some paperbacks now and have a few of your Christmas presents ready to go six months in advance. :)

Trust me this one time. If you hate it, don’t buy it again and cast aspersions against me. If you love it … prepare for a wild and wonderful ride! This is a seriously good book, the best I’ve ever written, and the series will get even better as it goes along.

I promise.
