Kanna Marshall leads a normal teenage life in an equally as normal town. Still, something gnaws at her, telling her there is something more than this mundane existence.

Then Nix Clarentiene; a mysterious, brooding and dark eyed stranger appears on her doorstep. Intensely dedicated and well spoken, Nix pulls at her curiosity. Unsure if she should trust him or not, Kanna allows herself to be drawn from her home and single mother into a world of intrigue, honour and adventure.

Kanna soon realizes the consequences to her less than thought out decision and is left with only two options. Return home to normality and go off to college as her mother expects, or stay and become the legend that this new world believes her to be.

I was born in 1952. I am a mother of four children and a grandmother to two grandsons. I’ve been married twice, a widow now. My inspiration comes from the people around me. I have written other stories; I just have not published them. They say there is a time for everything. You have to be ready when that time comes. I must have been ready.

Being creative is how I spend my time. I am a quilter, painter (walls, mostly), an artist, a writer. I love to read fantasy, science fiction, and just plain fiction. My favorite stories are Companions and Dragons of Pern. I don’t believe in smoking, drinking, or drugs. Life is too short to go about making it shorter.

I live half the year in Washington State; during the other half, I work in the Grand Teton Park behind the scenes.

When your little ones tell you stories, listen to them. They are where inspiration comes from—from building a birdhouse, planting a garden, or creating an imaginary world.

The Black Phoenix is a novel written by thirteen-year-old Khalif Aziz . In the book, the male protagonist, who takes upon the likeness of the author himself, is a young sorcerer whose age is as old as the pyramids. The 5,672-year-old goes through a form of reincarnation in which he dies in one body and begins a new life in the body of either a direct descendant or a relative. As a sorcerer, he constantly battles the forces of Apep, an evil god that wishes to control not only this universe but all others and let chaos tip the balance that all of these universes rely on. Since Khalifaziz is a human, he must do this in secret while still trying to keep up his cover as a regular human. Cara Marino, the character’s best friend, never learns of her friends’ abilities (she has other friends who have abilities she doesn’t know of as well) until the day that she is attacked by a black Bennu, or a black phoenix. Thus begins an adventure in which both magic and science are large players. Cara is the sister of Phineas Marino, a scientist who worked for the government, working on all sorts of top-secret projects. His most important one, a teleport that sends one into any computer’s cyberspace and even into the Internet’s cyberspace. Knowing that the government would soon want this project, he hid it from everyone except his little sister, Cara. Then another scientist created a virus, and they fused together in order to form Vesteria, an evil being bent on world domination. Cara and Phineas agree to make sure this never happens, seeing as how it was his invention that caused this trouble; however, Phineas can’t fulfill his promise, seeing as he is now dead. Cara then decides to do it all on her own, but then she meets a boy named Khalifaziz, a student of the school built in place of the abandoned laboratory where Phineas worked on his machine in secret. Khalifaziz and his friend Matt decide to help Cara fight Vesteria, leaving out the fact that they are both sorcerers. It turns out that they fight Vesteria better than Cara was ever able to. Unfortunately for them, Apep and Vesteria are sick of losing. One day, after Cara is attacked by the phoenix, Vesteria tries to hack Cara’s computer systems. When Cara, Matt, and Shadoe, princess of an alien people made completely out of chaotic energy, all go inside the computer, it is revealed that everyone’s worst fears have been realized. Vesteria is working for Apep. Suddenly, Khalifaziz and his friends are thrown into a war that they never expected to happen. Now everything has changed. Now they can’t afford to lose. Because this time, Apep has a powerful new ally. A combination of science fiction, Egyptology, physics, and magic, The Black Phoenix joins the ranks of global young adult' and children’s literature.

Illusions Fifteen- year- old Chance thought he'd seen it all. He'd been to war, his best friend's a psychic, and he's constantly being attacked by the Intimate Illusions- hypnotized zombies caught between life and death that can't seem to be released. To cap it all off, he and his brother's own powers seem to be acting up, his hometown's been cut off from the rest of the Kingdom of Frost, and his father's missing. Things can't get much worse, right? Wrong. Mysteries The Illusions have been coming in droves. After a storm hits the island, an onslaught of them attack, leaving Chance and his friends questioning whether rumors of a traitor are true. Chance begins doubting everything... And when the storm washes a mysterious girl named Alix who wields a strange gem called a Wishing Shard ashore, Chance has more questions than ever. Alix When Illusions once again attack, kidnapping his best friend and destroying his home, Chance has no choice but to accompany the only person with answers- Alix- to Mainland Frost. There, mysteries unfold, secrets are made, and promises are broken. Can Chance trust anyone... even himself?
