New Book Alert: Belladonna's Curse

In a land of corrupted magic and twisted divine intentions, how far would you go to set things right? It is precariously thin, the line between justice and the actions you take to achieve it. This tightrope—frayed and snapping—is Akira’s greatest challenge, even above the trials and her deadly gift.

Corontier, a land where cruelty is king and the fear of good shackles the populace, succumbs to treacherous games. She cannot cosign death any longer. Akira, set to inherit the throne and always her mother’s favorite game piece, struggles to reconcile her upbringing, privilege, and guilt with her worthiness for a better life. Tired of her petulance, her father offers her a challenge: kill someone innocent and of equal power. The instructions are clear. Except, it’s unattainable. For her power as poisoner and the temptation it speaks reigns with ferocious strength above all else.

Will she give in to the intoxicating effects of her power, setting her in line with her parents? Or perhaps, will she excuse one more death for a larger goal? Can she possibly make the necessary changes through a different avenue? Whatever her decision, one thing wages war against her: treason and how to accomplish it.

As an author I am best known for my imaginative storytelling through a series of tales both enchanting and eerie. This story is a journey into the unknown, where flawed characters face dark choices--there will never be a perfect answer.

A Glimpse into the Social Commentary

A good story is never just a story. We live in a world with various shades of gray continually coloring the lens in which we view it. While readers will enjoy Belladonna's Curse without picking up on the themes, social commentary is woven between the pages for those who read deeper.

What kind of commentary can you expect?

• Temptation

• Corruption of power

• The price of complicity

• Hard decisions are rarely popular

• No one is free until everyone is free

• The lengths one is willing to go to for justice

Belladonna's Curse asks you: Everyone says they will do the right thing, but who are you when it comes down to it?
